Post Hole Digging In London
Post hole digging is an essential part of any fence or deck construction project in London, Ontario. Whether you’re putting up a backyard fence in Lambeth, building a deck in Byron, or setting sign posts at a commercial property in the city’s north end, properly dug post holes are the foundation of a safe and lasting installation. It’s not as simple as it looks — the wrong depth or diameter can lead to shifting, heaving, and costly repairs down the road. At Hole Digger, we bring the right equipment and know-how to get the job done fast and right the first time.
We work with homeowners and businesses of all sizes across London and the surrounding Southwest Ontario area, including St. Thomas.

Frequently Asked Questions
Got questions about post hole digging? We’ve got answers. Whether you’re planning a new fence, a deck, or just trying to figure out where to start, here are some of the most common questions we hear from customers across London and the surrounding Southwest Ontario area.
Yes — Ontario law requires all underground utilities to be located and marked before any digging begins. Contact Ontario One Call at on1call.com to request your free locate. We won’t break ground until locates are confirmed, and we’re happy to walk you through the process if it’s your first time.
London area soils vary — you’ll find clay-heavy ground in many residential neighbourhoods, which requires more force to dig through than sandy soil. Our equipment is built to handle tough conditions, but it’s worth mentioning if you’ve had drainage issues or hit hardpan in the past so we can plan accordingly.
Absolutely. We handle sonotube deck footings and deck post holes in addition to standard fence post holes. Just let us know the diameter and depth you need when you request your estimate and we’ll confirm the right pricing for your project.
We offer same-week availability for most jobs in the London area. Reach out by phone or through our estimate form and we’ll get you booked in as quickly as possible.
