Posts set to last

The Boards Aren't Why a Fence Leans

A fence lives or dies on its posts. When one leans, sags, or heaves out of the ground a year later, it’s almost never the boards. It’s the holes they were set in and how they were set.

We come at a fence from the ground up. We drill the post holes, set the posts plumb and solid on a proper base, run the line straight, and stand the fence on top. It’s the part most crews rush, and it’s the part that decides how long a fence lasts.

Victoria makes post holes hard. Rock close to the surface, clay, and old roots stop a hand auger cold, which is why so many fences here get set shallow and start leaning within a season. We drill with machine augers and break through rock where a post has to go, so every post sits at full depth on solid ground.

Set the posts right and the fence holds the line for years, straight and solid.

Start to finish

From the Quote to a Fence That Holds the Line

  1. We walk the line and quote it straight. We look at the fence line, the ground, the access, and the length and number of posts, then give you a written price and timeline.
  2. We drill the post holes. Machine augers put every hole in at full depth, and we break out any rock in the way, so the holes aren’t cut short by what’s under the surface.
  3. We set the posts solid. Each post goes in plumb, on a proper base, and dead on the line, because a post set solid is what the whole fence hangs on.
  4. We stand the fence and clean up.
    With the posts in right, the fence goes on straight and true, then we tidy the site and walk the finished line with you.

We hired Auzzie to put in a gravel driveway extension for us and are absolutely thrilled with the result! He is as masterful on the excavator as a surgeon is with a scalpel, and is thoroughly knowledgeable on all the little details that are often overlooked in getting the job done right. Also worth mentioning is that he made the whole job a lot of fun. Most importantly, however, is that he had the job done for us on time and on budget - and the outcome exceeded our expectations. I would highly recommend Auzzie for any excavation project!

When we needed to expand and level our yard for washroom trailer storage, Auzzie’s Earthworks was our first call, and they did a fantastic job. Chris quickly tore out bushes, regraded the area, spread gravel, and compacted everything down in just a few hours. The yard is now perfectly level and ready for our trailers. Highly recommend Auzzie’s Earthworks for anyone needing efficient, professional site prep!

We hired Auzzie’s Earthworks to help with a challenging fencing project through Dynamic Fencing, and the experience was fantastic. We initially discovered that under the thick ivy was nothing but rock, roots, and loose dirt—no stable ground for a fence. Auzzie came out for an estimate, and right away, he had a clear plan to remove the ivy, rock, and debris, creating a 2'x24' trench so we could put in a retaining wall. Despite having limited space to work in and being surrounded by raised garden beds, he completed the job efficiently and without disturbing the vegetable garden. His speed, precision, and skill were top-notch. Highly recommend Auzzie’s Earthworks for any tricky site work!

Auzzie gives a master class in customer service and quality work with every project. He is very skilled and vitally, very knowledgeable of local district bylaws. An absolute pleasure to work with. I have no reservations recommending him for your project. You will end up with a fine product and have a bunch of fun along the way.

The part underground

Why Auzzie's Earthworx for Fencing

A fence stands straight on its posts, not its boards, and the posts are earthworks.

  • We drill post holes through rock. Machine augers and rock breaking get every hole to full depth, even where rock or clay stops a hand tool.
  • Posts set straight and solid. Each one goes in on a proper base and on the line, so the fence doesn’t lean or heave a season later.
  • We don’t rush the groundwork. We’re an earthworks company, so the part that makes a fence last is the part we’re set up to do best.

Straight Answers

Common Questions About Fencing

On a fence job, people mostly ask what it costs, whether we build the whole thing or just set the posts, and whether we can drill through the rock.

Fencing cost in Victoria depends on the length of the line, the number of posts, how hard the ground is to drill, whether there's rock, the fence itself, and how easily we can reach the line. A short back-yard run is a different job from fencing a whole property. Send photos and rough measurements and we'll give you an accurate written quote.

A short run can be a day or two. A long line, hard or rocky ground, or a big property takes longer, and you'll get an estimated timeline with your written quote.

Yes, and it's where we're strongest. We use machine augers and break rock where a post has to go, so holes get to full depth instead of being cut short, and our compact machines fit narrow access along a fence line that bigger equipment can't.

We handle the groundwork either way, the post holes, the base, and setting the posts solid on the line, and we build the fence on top of that.

Yes. Long rural runs over rough or rocky ground are a good fit for our machines, whether you're fencing a paddock, running a property line, or keeping deer and livestock in or out. Acreage covers a lot of distance, and machine work sets the posts faster and more solid than doing it by hand.

We supply them. The posts, the hardware, and the fencing all come as part of the job, so you're not tracking down materials or making supply runs. If you've already bought your materials, or want a particular product, we can work with that too.
