Holes. Trench.
Dirt Work.
Post hole drilling, trenching, and dirt work across East Texas, run off a Caterpillar compact track loader. One machine, the right attachment, straight results.
Diameters and depths are the whole job. Tell us the number and we bring the bit, set the depth, and cut the line. No guesswork, no upsell, no pricing games.

Two things we do every week, and a few more the machine is built for. If it is holes, a trench, or dirt that needs moving, it is on this list.

An odd job, a mix of work, or you are not sure what to call it. Ask and we will figure it out.
Get a quoteKnow your depths
Every line in the ground has a depth it wants to sit at. Here are the typical ones for East Texas ground. They are a starting point, not the last word.
Codes change by county and by utility. Always verify before the trencher runs, and always call 811 first so the public lines get marked.

Concept visualizationWalk the line
You call 811 and we look at the job together. Marks down, route set, depth agreed before anything cuts dirt.
Concept visualizationMake the cut
The machine does the work. Straight runs, clean holes, the right attachment for the ground we are in.
Concept visualizationLeave it clean
Spoil handled the way you want it. Backfilled, raked out, or piled where you asked. We leave it usable.

Common questions
The stuff people ask before they book. If yours is not here, just call.
All questionsHow do you quote post holes?
Three numbers get you a fast quote: how many holes, what diameter, and how deep. Diameter usually follows what is going in the hole, so if you are not sure, tell us the post size or the job and we will match the bit. Count and depth do the rest.
What soils can the auger handle, and what happens in rock?
Clay, sand, loam, and moderately rocky ground are normal work for us in East Texas. The auger pulls through most of it. Solid rock or a buried slab is where any auger slows down or stops. If we hit rock we tell you what we are seeing and talk through options instead of forcing it.
How deep can you trench?
Depth is adjustable and we set it to the job. Most water, electrical, and irrigation runs sit in a range we reach in a single pass. If you need it deeper, tell us the number up front so we bring the right setup. Give us the depth the line calls for and we cut to it.
Do you locate utilities before you dig?
You call 811 first. It is free, it is the law in Texas, and it gets the public utilities marked before we show up. We work to the marks and stay clear of them. Anything private on your property, like a line you ran yourself, point it out so we can avoid it.
Is there a minimum job size?
We would rather talk about your job than post a minimum. A short trench or a handful of holes can still be worth a trip, especially if we pair it with other work nearby. Tell us what you have and we will be straight about whether it makes sense.
Got a pond full
of weeds?
The same operator and machine that handle your dirt work also clear ponds and stock tanks. Texas Pond Cleaners lifts the growth out by the root across East Texas and the DFW metroplex. No chemicals, no spraying.
