Soil Conditions for fence installation in Central Florida
In the Orlando area we are fortunate to have soil with few underground obstacles such as shale, coral, rocks and boulders. This allows us to put our posts where we want them without having to use backhoes and jack hammers to smash through hard objects. In other parts of the country installation costs are significantly higher due to the extra equipment and labor needed to set the posts.
The soil here is comprised mostly of fine sand. The fine sand does not compact well and for this reason we recommend using pre-mixed concrete on each and every post. The concrete is mixed and hardens and it helps keep the posts straight and strong.
