POST HOLE DIGGING IN SCARBOROUGH
Our Core Services
Fence Post Holes: 8″, 10″, and 12″ diameters drilled to 42″ to 48″ depth.
Post Setting: We don’t just dig; we set and level your posts in high-strength concrete.
Deck Footings & Sonotubes: Code-compliant foundations for decks and sunrooms.
Fence Repair: Extracting old concrete “plugs” and replacing rotted posts.
Why Choose us in Scarborough?
Specialized Equipment: We use high-torque power augers designed to slice through Scarborough’s toughest clay and rocky fill.
The Standard Depth: We dig to a minimum depth of 42 to 48 inches to get below the Ontario frost line, preventing “frost heave” from ruining your investment.
Locally Owned: We know the East End neighborhoods—from Guildwood and Wexford to Rouge and Malvern.
Clean & Precise: We don’t just “dig holes.” We ensure they are straight, properly spaced, and we leave your property clean.
Navigating Scarborough’s Challenging Soil
Not all soil is created equal. Scarborough features a “mixed bag” of terrain that can be a nightmare for manual digging:
Dense Clay (Common in Agincourt/Milliken): Sticky and heavy, clay expands when wet and freezes hard. We use specialized tips to ensure we reach full depth.
Sandy Loam (Near the Bluffs/Cliffside): Easy to dig but prone to collapsing. We work efficiently to set posts before the hole walls shift.
The Frost Line: In the GTA, the ground freezes deep. Any post buried less than 4 feet deep risks being “pushed” out of the ground during the spring thaw.
Safety First: Locates & Regulations
Before we break ground at your Scarborough property, safety is our priority.
Important: Under Ontario law, you must have underground utilities marked before any digging occurs. We assist all our clients in navigating the Ontario One Call process to ensure gas, hydro, and fiber optic lines remain untouched.
We also strictly follow City of Toronto Fence Bylaws, ensuring your post placement respects property lines and height restrictions (typically 2 meters for rear yards).
