Professional Post Hole Digging

Planning to build a fence, deck, or pergola? One of the most critical — and underestimated — steps is digging the post holes. While it might seem like a simple DIY job, the reality is quite different. Here’s why hiring professionals like Proper Construction is a smart investment that saves both time and money.
⏱️ Save Time
We use powerful, professional-grade equipment that gets the job done 3–5x faster than manual digging. No delays, no do-overs. Our team knows how to handle any soil type — clay, sand, or rocky ground — with precision.
💰 Save Money
Think DIY is cheaper? Consider the cost of tool rentals, materials, and the risk of mistakes. Uneven holes or misalignment can lead to costly repairs or even failed structures. We calculate exactly how much material is needed, so there’s no waste or guesswork.

We dig straight, level, and to the correct depth, following Ontario building standards. Our crew ensures your posts are secure, stable, and built to last — a solid foundation for any outdoor structure.
