As long as the grass isn’t saturated with water, there should be no damage to your lawn.

We need a minimum of 42” wide in order to safely get our equipment through. If you don’t have that much space, we can look at alternatives like removing gates or posts and then reinstalling afterwards.

For fence postholes and deck footings we only use Portland cement that we mix on site with ½” stone mix.

We do what you require. If you want us to simply dig the postholes, WE CAN do that. If you wish for us to set the posts for the fence in cement or fill the Sonotube® for your deck footings with cement and set the saddles, WE CAN do that too!

We have augers of varying sizes; from 6” to 24” and each one can dig fence postholes or deck footings up to 48” deep. (Larger footings can be done but we use different equipment)

Original Posthole Diggers is not a full service company. We specialize in precision post hole setting for your fence and deck needs.

Our price includes the cement required for the job. However, posts are priced separately and can be provided upon request.

It is recommended to wait a minimum of 36-48 hours before beginning construction, to allow for the concrete to set and harden around your fence posts or deck footings. However, upon request a quick set cement can be used which will allow construction to start within two hours of us completing the fence postholes or deck footings. There will be an additional charge for this service as the cement is more expensive.

We are fully licensed and insured through the WSIB and have private liability coverage for your protection and ours.
