POST HOLES & TREE HOLE DIGGING - DRILLING |
|
holes for barns, garages, covered patios When building a barn, garage, or covered patio – you will need to have holes drilled for your support posts. In the hill country of Texas, digging post holes is not a simple task. Digging support holes for your barn or garage or covered patio will entail the use of a rock bar and a good set of hand held post hole diggers. After marking your post hole, you will start by slamming the post hole digger into the ground at the mark. Dig as deep as you can. When it won’t go deeper, use the rock bar by chipping and pecking at the rock edges of the hole. Then switch back to the hand held post hole digger. Keep alternating back and forth, and hopefully the hole will be getting deeper all the while. For barns, carports and garages you will need to get down to 2 ft. of depth, and probably 6” to 9” in diameter. This is a very difficult undertaking in hard or rocky soil. At this point you may be thinking that barn building is better left to professionals. Fear not, you can get professional results by contacting us at post-hole.com. We have the equipment to come to your site and drill your holes for you. Then you can get on with the business of barn, garage, or covered patio building. The way our service works is that we arrive at your work site, walk the project with you, and then we get started drilling the holes for your barn, garage or car port. We average about 10 minutes per hole, depending on factors such as the ease of positioning the drilling rig, and hardness of the rock in your ground. Our auger will clear out about half the debris in the hole, and you will probably want to clear all or part of the remainder. Then we will be out of your way and you can get to the barn building. Our service is very reasonably priced, and it is fast. You will quickly be on your way to completing your project! In the hill country, we generally encounter hard packed caliche, dirt mixed with caliche, rock and dirt, and caliche and dirt. Our augers can handle any combination of these types of earth. Roots are a little bit more difficult because the augers are specially designed for drilling rock and hard packed dirt, and are not as efficient with tree roots.
