Best Tools for Digging Post Holes in Rocky Soil?

Asked By Fenc3Master99 On

I'm trying to build a fence and need advice on the best tools to rent for digging post holes. The ground in my area is super rocky, with some rocks being over a foot in size. We've tried using a post hole digger before, but we always end up having to dig a much larger hole just to work around those stubborn rocks. I'm wondering if a hydraulic auger would handle these rocks, or if there's something else you would recommend. Thanks for your help!

If the rocks are that big, you're probably going to end up working them out by hand. A post hole digger isn't going to cut it here. I’ve been in similar situations, and without proper tools, it can turn into a frustrating task!

Yeah, it might take a while to get that fence up with all those rocks in the way!
