Post Pounding & Post Driving Services in North Texas

Hydraulic post driving for agricultural, commercial and ranch fencing — posts set tight in a fraction of the time, no concrete needed.

For long agricultural fence lines, nothing beats a hydraulic post pounder: it drives posts directly into undisturbed soil, giving grip that concrete-set posts can’t match, at a pace measured in posts per minute instead of per hour. Red’s Mobile Welding offers professional post pounding across Parker, Tarrant and surrounding counties.

Driven posts are the agricultural standard for a reason — the soil stays compacted around the post instead of being loosened by digging, so posts are tight the moment they’re driven and only get tighter.

Driven vs. Concrete-Set: When Pounding Wins

Driving a post compresses the soil around it — pull-out resistance is immediate and enormous, which is why highway guardrail is driven, not dug. For wood and steel posts in open ground, pounding is faster, cheaper and often stronger than dig-and-pour. (For ornamental iron and masonry-adjacent work, concrete still rules — we do both and will tell you which your project needs.)

Speed is the other advantage: a hydraulic driver sets a wood post in under a minute. On long ag lines, that difference rewrites the budget.

The Right Equipment For Texas Ground

Our drivers deliver serious impact energy with pilot-hole capability for hardpan and rocky ground. Posts go in plumb and to consistent depth, following your line and grade — we shoot the line first, then drive to the string.

Combined with our welding and wire crews, we can deliver a complete fence: posts driven, wire stretched, braces welded, gates hung.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between post pounding and post hole drilling?
Pounding drives the post directly into undisturbed soil with hydraulic impact — fast and extremely tight. Drilling bores a hole that the post is set into, usually with concrete — required for precise ornamental work and huge gate posts. We offer both and recommend based on the fence type.
Are driven posts as strong as concreted posts?
For most agricultural and commercial fencing, driven posts are as strong or stronger — the soil stays compacted around them and pull-out resistance is excellent. It's why guardrail and vineyard posts are driven worldwide.
What posts can you drive?
Wood posts from 3 to 10 inches, steel t-posts, pipe posts and structural tube. Rocky ground may need pilot holes, which our equipment also handles.
How fast can you fence a large property?
As a rule of thumb, our crew drives 150–300 posts per day depending on ground and access. A mile of fence line posts is typically set within two to three days.
Do you do the whole fence or just the posts?
Either. Many ranchers have us drive posts and then stretch their own wire; most have us do the whole job — posts, wire, welded braces, corners and gates. Your call.
