Fast, accurate post hole drilling for fences, gates and structural foundations — hydraulic augers that laugh at North Texas clay.
North Texas ground is famously hostile to hand digging — sun-baked clay in summer, rock shelves where you least expect them. Red’s Mobile Welding runs hydraulic post hole drilling rigs that put clean, plumb holes exactly where your project needs them, at a fraction of the time and cost of manual digging.
We drill for our own fence and gate projects every week, and we offer the same service standalone: for contractors, DIY fence builders, deck and pergola projects, sign installations and structural piers.
Production drilling for wood, pipe and chain link fence lines — any spacing, any count.
Oversized, extra-deep holes for gate posts that carry real load.
Pier holes for decks, pergolas, carports, signs and pole barns.
The right diameter for the job, from t-post replacements to entrance columns.
Hydraulic down-pressure and rock augers for ground that stops rental equipment.
Optional line layout, post setting and concrete — we can finish what we drill.
A rented one-man auger meets its match about 18 inches into July clay — and it can’t fix a hole that wanders off plumb. Our hydraulic rigs deliver consistent depth and diameter, hole after hole, with down-pressure that pushes through hardpan and rock augers for the shelves along the western side of the Metroplex.
For fence contractors and serious DIY builds, we’ll drill your whole line to spec in an afternoon: consistent spacing, marked utilities respected, spoil piled or hauled as you prefer.
The clay soils in Parker and Tarrant Counties swell and shrink dramatically with moisture. Posts set shallow ride that movement — which is why so many fences lean within a few years. We drill below the active zone (typically 30–42 inches for fence posts, deeper for gates and structures) so your posts stay put.
Call 811 utility locates are part of our process on every job; we drill after lines are marked, never before.
