Why Oshawa Soil Requires Professional Digging ?
If you’ve ever tried to use a hand-held shovel in Oshawa, you know the challenge: Clay. * Heavy Clay Density: Much of the Durham Region is sitting on thick, hard-packed clay that becomes rock-hard in the summer and a muddy mess in the spring.
The 3.5 to 4-Foot Frost Line: In Oshawa, the frost line typically sits around 3.5 to 4 feet. If your posts aren’t dug to at least 42 to 48 inches, the winter freeze-thaw cycle will push your posts right out of the ground (frost heaving).
Rocky Deposits: Being close to the Oak Ridges Moraine and Lake Ontario, we often hit “river rock” or shale. Our heavy-duty hydraulic augers slice through what manual diggers can’t.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a permit for a fence in Oshawa? According to the City of Oshawa Fence By-law, most residential fences don’t require a permit if they are under 2.2 meters (approx. 7.2 ft) in the rear yard. However, we always recommend checking your specific property line setbacks.
How deep do you dig? We dig to a standard depth of 3.5 to 4 feet (48 inches) to ensure your footings are well below the Oshawa frost line, preventing your fence from leaning over time.
What about underground utility lines? Safety first! We require an Ontario One Call (Locates) to be completed before we break ground. It’s free, and it protects your gas, water, and hydro lines.
