What drives the cost
- Fence material and height
- Terrain — slopes and rocky soil increase post-hole labour
- Gate count and hardware quality
- Local permit and property-line survey requirements
Post holes are the single most labour-intensive part of any fence project. Rocky or clay-heavy soil that requires an auger or manual digging through obstructions can double the labour time compared with easy, sandy ground.
