Fence Post Hole Digging in Eugene, Oregon
Installing a new fence? Digging post holes by hand is brutal — especially in Eugene's clay-heavy soil. Our mini excavator with optional post hole auger makes quick work of even the longest fence lines.
The Problem
Hand-digging post holes in Oregon soil is exhausting. Clay soil is dense and sticky when wet, hard as concrete when dry. One hole can take 30+ minutes. Multiply that by 30-50 posts for a typical fence, and you're looking at days of hard labor.
The Solution
Our post hole auger attachment drills clean, consistent holes in seconds. Available in 6", 9", and 12" diameters. For larger posts or rocky soil, the excavator bucket works great too. Either way, you'll finish your fence project in a fraction of the time.
