How deep do you set the fence posts?

Standard industry practice varies, but at Arrow Fencing LLC, we generally dig post holes at least 24 inches deep, or roughly one-third the height of the fence, depending on the soil conditions. This depth is critical for leverage and stability. We verify the depth of every hole before setting the post in concrete to ensure your fence remains stable and won't lean or wobble over time.

Do you use concrete for all fence posts?

Yes, we set every main terminal post and line post in concrete. Some contractors might only use concrete for gate posts or corners to save money. Still, we believe that a full concrete footing is necessary for long-term durability, especially in the softer, sandy soils found around Ladson and Summerville.

What happens if you hit a rock or root while digging?

Our crews are equipped with specialized digging tools, including augers and digging bars, to handle roots and debris. Suppose we encounter a significant obstruction that requires a change in the fence line or extra labor. In that case, we stop and consult with you immediately. We believe in total transparency—you will never receive a surprise bill for "extra digging" without prior discussion.
