Our Markham Specialized Services
We focus on doing one thing better than anyone else: creating a rock-solid foundation for your backyard builds.
Fence Post Digging & Setting: We drill to a standard 42″–48″ depth to stay well below the frost line. We can simply dig the holes or provide a full “Dig & Set” service where we level and concrete your posts in place.
Deck Footings & Sonotubes: Accurate drilling for deck supports, including the installation of sonotubes and high-strength concrete to meet Markham building codes.
Post Repair & Replacement: Don’t let a leaning post ruin your curb appeal. We specialize in extracting old wooden posts and concrete “slugs” and replacing them with fresh, sturdy installs.
Gate Post Reinforcement: Gates are the most used part of a fence. We ensure gate posts are extra deep and securely braced to handle the constant swing and weight.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a typical Markham property take? Most residential fence projects in Markham (20–30 posts) can be completed in a single morning or afternoon, depending on soil conditions and whether we are setting the posts in concrete.
Do you handle the concrete? Yes! If you choose our “Dig & Set” service, we provide the concrete and ensure it is mixed and poured correctly to prevent “frost heave” (when the ground pushes the post up in winter).
What happens if you hit a rock? Markham soil can be unpredictable. Our high-torque hydraulic augers can handle most stones and heavy clay. If we hit a major obstruction, we have the tools and experience to find a solution without ruining your layout.
