Hand-digging post holes in Indiana clay is brutal. A skid steer auger powers through compacted clay, frozen ground, and rocky fill in seconds per hole. We use a 9-inch, 12-inch, or larger bit depending on what you're setting.
We typically drill 20–80 holes per visit and can pair the work with light grading, backfill, or material placement so your build day starts ready.
