Auger Drilling

Clean, consistent holes at the right diameter and depth. Augering with a machine is faster than hand digging and far more accurate through clay and compacted ground.

What to prepare

  • Set out or mark hole positions if they are fixed

Access considerations

Auger work needs clear overhead space above each hole. Overhead wires, eaves and low branches can limit where the drive can be positioned.
