Augering

Post holes, pier holes and footings drilled clean and to depth by machine.

Call for a Free Estimate

Holes drilled straight, clean and to depth

Post holes, pier holes and footings drilled by machine save you a weekend of hand digging and, more importantly, give you consistent holes. Consistency is the point. A fence line where every hole is the same diameter and the same depth sets straight and stays straight. A pole barn where the footings are all to spec carries load the way the plan says it will.

We auger for fence lines, deck footings, pier and footing holes, pole barn footings, and sign and light posts. Rural properties in the western half of our area keep this work steady, because acreage means fence line and pole barns.

New crushed stone driveway installed between mature trees

Indiana clay is what makes hand digging miserable and machine augering worth it. Clay comes out in a plug rather than a scoop, it is heavier than people expect, and it turns to concrete in a dry August. A machine does not care. What a machine does care about is what is buried, which is why utility locates come before the auger comes off the trailer.

Before we mobilize we confirm the hole count, the diameter and the depth, because those three numbers are what the job is. Then we call in locates, lay out and mark every hole with you so there is no disagreement about placement once the ground is open, drill to depth, and either rake the spoil out or haul it off, whichever you prefer.

Confirm the hole count, the diameter and the depth before anybody mobilizes. Those three numbers are the job.

– Questions

What people ask about augering

What sizes and depths can you drill?

Confirm the diameter, depth and hole count with us when you call. Those are the numbers that decide the equipment and the price, and we would rather settle them before we mobilize than on your driveway.

Do you call in locates for post holes?

Yes. Utility locates come before the auger comes off the trailer, on every job, including small ones.

Can you drill in heavy clay or rocky ground?

Clay is normal here and a machine handles it. Rock and old buried material are the things that slow an auger down, and if we hit them we tell you what it means before we keep going.

Who marks where the holes go?

We lay it out and mark it with you before drilling, so placement is agreed on while it is still easy to change.

What happens to the spoil?

Raked out on site or hauled off, your choice. Tell us which you want when we set the job up.
