Fence Post Hole Drilling in Albuquerque, NM

Auger Services

for Posts & Footings

Setting fence posts or deck footings can be backbreaking work if you’re digging holes by hand. Let Groundbreaking Services take care of the heavy drilling! Need help with just the post holes? We offer precise auger drilling for fence lines, decks, and more. This service is perfect for DIYers, contractors, or anyone who needs a series of holes dug quickly and accurately without renting equipment or burning out their weekend with a manual post hole digger.

Using our skid steer with a powered auger attachment, we can drill clean, uniform holes to the exact diameter and depth you require. We handle all sorts of projects:

Fence Post Holes

Whether you’re installing a backyard picket fence or many acres of field fencing, we’ll drill all your post holes in a fraction of the time it would take by hand. We ensure each hole is in the correct spot along the fence line, helping you maintain uniform post spacing and a straight fence.

Deck and Porch Footings

If you’re building a deck, pergola, or porch that requires concrete footings, we can auger the footing holes to the required depth (and width) according to your plans. We can even go deeper for structures requiring below-frostline footings or extra stability.

Pole Barn or Sign Post Holes

Planning a pole barn or need to set large sign posts or mailboxes? Our auger handles those as well, creating neat holes ready for your poles.

Tree Planting Holes

For those planting multiple trees or large shrubs, augering holes can save time and ease transplanting, especially in our tough New Mexico soil.

We take pride in drilling uniform spacing and depth on every project. By measuring and marking your layout beforehand, we ensure the holes end up exactly where needed, and we drill to a consistent depth so your posts all sit at the same height. If we encounter rocky or hard soil layers, our equipment’s power and our expertise will navigate through it or we’ll advise if any adjustments are needed.

You have the option to have us simply drill the holes for you to then do the rest, or we can take it a step further. Our service is available with or without post setting. That means if you want, after drilling we can also set your fence posts in concrete or tamped gravel, ensuring they’re plumb and aligned – leaving you ready to attach your fence panels or rails. Or, if you prefer to handle the post setting yourself, we’ll leave you with a set of nicely dug holes and the confidence that they’re done right.

Why Use

Our Auger Service?

By hiring Groundbreaking Services for post hole drilling, you avoid the blisters and get straight to building on a solid foundation. It’s one of the simplest ways to remove a tough chore from your project. Contact us to schedule our auger services anywhere in Albuquerque or Central NM – we’ll make quick work of those holes, guaranteed.

Precise & Consistent Holes

We drill each hole to the same depth and width, and exactly where it should be. This precision makes your installation go smoothly – posts will all line up and you won’t have to re-dig any “oops” holes.

Big Time Saver for DIY Builders

Digging even a few post holes by hand in the New Mexico ground can be exhausting and slow. We can drill dozens of holes in the time you might struggle with one or two, freeing you to focus on building rather than digging. It’s an affordable way to dramatically speed up your project.
