Auger Services

Whether you are a homeowner or a business owner, property development can become complex, time consuming, and challenging. With our reliable augering services, we work to minimize the meticulous tasks that may keep you from getting to that next step. Whether you are digging holes for planting trees, installing fence posts, or need bollard holes, we use a seamless method of augering to assist you with any residential or commercial project.

 

What is augering?

At the most basic level, augering is the drilling or digging of holes.  It requires a specialized drill known as an auger, which usually includes a rotating helical screw blade that acts as a screw “conveyor” to remove the material or substance that has been drilled from the hole. For example, plumbers rely on augers to relieve clogged sewers.  This also illustrates that augering is not exclusive to landscaping; it spans across a series of different sectors such as carpentry, mining, and plumbing.

 

How does it work?

The process of operating an auger differs based on the nature of the project. Prior to augering, we conduct an initial consultation to assess your needs, expectations, budget, and vision. After this, we inspect the work site to gather information about the size and location of the potential or existing hole. Some projects will require larger augers than others and this initial consultation is imperative to our preparation and execution of drilling the best holes for your project.

Beyond this preliminary stage, operation of the auger is a mechanical art. We navigate the auger, manipulating the throttle in clockwise and counterclockwise motions in order to remove dirt and clay from the hole periodically to avoid build up and prevent the auger from getting stuck.

Our trained team of professionals works diligently with precision to minimize guesswork and obtain the best results.
