Consider the costs and time required to either dig holes by hand or rent an auger. After renting a van, transporting the equipment and setting the posts, the time and money spent will result in a much higher cost than having Post2Fence do it for you!
What is the best way to dig post holes?
There are three main ways to dig post holes: by hand, renting a hand auger, or hiring a professional post hole digging company like Post2Fence.
SHOVEL
Digging post holes by hand is the most labour-intensive and time-consuming option. It can be challenging and physically demanding, especially if the ground is rocky or hard.
Consider that you will most likely require additional tools to first help you break up the hard ground before you are able to extract it from the hole.

AUGER RENTAL
Renting a hand auger can be a more efficient option than digging by hand. It's less physically demanding but it can still be time-consuming and difficult to operate, especially if you're not experienced with the equipment.
Also consider that these machines lead to a lot of injuries. This happens when even experienced operators hit a root or a rock forcing the machine to suddenly stop. The inertia from that quick stop is carried through to the handles and can often sprain, or worse, break a wrist.
Finally if you don’t have a truck or large van the cost to rent the required equipment, a means of transportation and even the time spent eliminates any cost savings.

How much does it cost to dig and set post holes?
The cost to dig post holes depends on the following factors
SIZE OF THE HOLES
Your post dimensions (standard 4x4 or 6x6) will define the size of the holes needed. The main difference in the cost is based on the amount of concrete that will be needed to properly set your posts.
PRESENCE OF TREES
The presence of trees usually means extensive root systems nearby that must be drilled through. Be wary of using hand augers here as hitting roots often leads to injuries.
TYPE OF GROUND
Harder ground or presence of rocks is more difficult to drill through. Our post hole digging machines make short work of these obstacles but it does wear out the auger bits faster. Digging this by hand would add hours to your project.
SITE ACCESS
If there is no access for our machines, which are the smallest ones in the market, we also offer hole digging by hand.
