Spiker Joe Excavating Inc: Professional Fencing Company Serving Greencastle, IN 46135

If your fence is showing signs of sagging or leaning shortly after installation, the most common cause is that the posts were set in improperly compacted or unstable soil. In Greencastle, many properties have clay soils or rocky layers, which can shift if the trench or post hole isn't deep enough or properly backfilled. Spiker Joe Excavating solves this by using precision trench digging and excavation to create uniform, deep footings that are packed correctly, giving your fence posts a solid foundation that stays straight.

The key to a long-lasting concrete slab is proper site preparation—specifically, excavating to the correct depth and ensuring a level, compacted base. Many Greencastle homeowners find that existing soil is uneven or contains hidden debris. Spiker Joe Excavating handles the excavation and trench digging needed to remove unsuitable material, grade the area, and create a stable subgrade. This prevents future cracking and settling, ensuring your concrete project looks good and performs well for years.

Absolutely. Rocky ground is a common challenge in Greencastle, especially near areas like the ridges along U.S. 231 or around DePauw University's campus. Standard post hole diggers often fail in these conditions. Spiker Joe Excavating uses heavy-duty excavation equipment designed to break through rock and remove obstructions. We can create clean trenches and post holes even in tough, rocky soil, allowing you to install your fence or gate without delays or compromise on stability.
