Who would be the people to contact if we want a few holes dug! We just want the holes dug so we can build the fence and retaining wall ourselves

Most of the digger companies have excavators with drill attacments. Have also used a bobcat and in one tight spot a Dingo. Have a look in Yellow pages or google. We use Oldfields/ Higgins for most of our work and a little with Metro Works. Both are in Wellington too (I think)

You can buy a hand operated augur from Bunnings - they work really well! I bought one for around $100 several years ago - has more than paid for itself.

see how hard the ground is first,if its hard clay then hand operated auger is waste of time n money,will need to hand dig chipping away sides

Yeah, around and around! I still have visions of the 2 chippies who put in the piles for our deck - they had a 2 man power augur from Hirepool and I remember seeing both of them frantically running around and around trying to stop the thing when it struck a tree root.

My hand augur works well in clay - easy to lift the loose spoil out of the hole too.

we have used an auger before for our other retaining wall, but hubby has a shoulder injury and needs to take it easy at the mo so we're looking at getting someone in to do it for us. But i also have to find out exactly where one of the pipes is so we don't end up witha geyser in our garden!

Dig them with a spade or shovel. not that hard to do and you'll have the satisfaction of doing the whole thing yourselves - am doing a 12 metre fence atm.
usually we would - we have done our other retaining wall and fence holes ourselves before but hubby has shoulder injury so has to take it easy and i can't do it myself especially as its rock after about 30 cms deep

Youch, the rock wouldn't be fun! Hope you get some help.
