Very impressed with Alex and team at Hammer Excavations. They were professional, quick to respond to queries, gave great advice on our backyard and the quality of their work was fantastic. We had a difficult site to work with, but Alex and his team knew what needed to be done to improve it and make it look amazing. Would highly recommend Hammer Excavations and will be calling them for our next project.

Melbourne’s northern, western, and eastern suburbs all present different soil challenges — from sandy and loose ground to hard clay and even rock. Our equipment is designed to handle these conditions efficiently, ensuring consistent hole quality regardless of location. We also take care to minimise ground disturbance, protecting surrounding areas from unnecessary damage.

Professional Post Hole Drilling Services
Drilling post holes may sound simple, but the accuracy of the hole directly affects the strength and lifespan of the structure it supports. Our auger-equipped excavators are capable of drilling holes between 250 mm and 600 mm in diameter and to depths required for most residential and commercial projects. This allows us to handle everything from small garden fences to large bored piers for heavy-duty retaining walls or building footings.
Our services cover:
- Fence post holes for timber, steel, or concrete posts
- Decking stumps and pergola footings
- Retaining wall and landscaping posts
- Structural bored piers for high-load foundations
- Rural, industrial, and commercial post installations
Regardless of the soil type or access requirements, we provide the right equipment to complete the job quickly and precisely.

Our Post Hole Drilling Process
We follow a simple yet thorough process to ensure accuracy and efficiency on every project:
- Site Assessment & Planning – We discuss your project needs, check access, and identify soil conditions or underground services.
- Marking & Measurements – Post spacing, depths, and diameters are confirmed to meet engineering or building requirements.
- Auger Drilling – Holes are drilled with precision, with careful handling in rocky or clay-heavy ground.
- Spoil Management – Soil is removed from the site or repurposed on-site, depending on your preference.
- Site Clean-Up – Once drilling is complete, we leave the site tidy and ready for post-installation or concreting.
This end-to-end approach ensures a smooth transition into the construction phase of your project.
