From Willowdale to Downsview, MSG Post Hole Diggers is North York’s specialist for sturdy, level foundations. Our hydraulic equipment tackles packed fill and heavy clay, providing professional post hole digging to the depth required for Toronto’s climate. Ensure your fence or deck stays perfectly straight for years to come.
We focus on clean, efficient digging that respects your property and your neighbors.
Fence Post Digging & Setting: We ensure every hole is at least 42 to 48 inches deep. This is vital in North York to get below the frost line and prevent your fence from shifting during the winter thaw.
Deck Footings & Sonotubes: Planning a backyard oasis? We provide precision drilling for deck footings and install sonotubes with professional concrete pouring to support any size deck.
Post Replacement & Extraction: Many North York homes have older fences. We specialize in removing old posts and concrete bases, clearing the way for a fresh, secure installation.
Narrow Access Digging: Many North York properties have tight side-yards. Our compact, powerful machinery can fit through gates as narrow as 36 inches, reaching your backyard without damaging your landscaping.
By-law Awareness: We are familiar with Toronto Municipal Code, ensuring your post placement helps you stay compliant with local fence height and sightline regulations.
Locates Managed: Safety is our priority. We work with Ontario One Call to ensure all gas, hydro, and water lines are marked before we arrive.
Plumb & Level Guarantee: We don’t just dig a hole and leave. Our “Dig & Set” service ensures your posts are perfectly aligned and ready for boards the next day.
North: Newtonbrook, Willowdale, and Bayview Woods.
South: York Mills, The Bridle Path, and Lawrence Park.
East: Don Mills, Henry Farm, and Pleasant View.
West: Downsview, Bathurst Manor, and Clanton Park.
Do I need a permit for post hole digging in North York? Typically, you do not need a permit just to dig holes. However, if you are building a deck over a certain height or a fence that exceeds by-law limits, a building permit may be required. We recommend checking with Toronto Building Services.
Can you dig in the rocky or clay soil found in North York? Absolutely. Our hydraulic augers have significantly more torque than a manual “two-man” gas auger, allowing us to cut through the tough clay and small rocks common in the York Mills and Bathurst areas.
What is the “Dig & Set” service? This is our most popular service. We dig the hole, place your post (wood or vinyl), and fill the hole with concrete. We ensure the post is plumb and level, so all you have to do is screw on the rails and boards!
