Earth Drilling

Mandatory NJ One Call Flags

Without exception before Earth Drilling or any digging type of work can commence Miniskid4hire.com customers are REQUIRED to contact NJ One Call (811) to have the following town owned utility lines Pre-flagged for damage avoidance.

Main Gas Line (Yellow) Main Water Line (Blue) Underground Electric (Red) and Telecommunications (Orange) must be marked. We advise customers to pre-call NJ One Call leaving a 2 week lead time. This free service and is 100% REQUIRED.  When calling or online ordering with NJ One Call we suggest not mentioning the contractor name or even the desired use of a contractor.  This contractor omission is needed if you (the homeowner) want to control the ordering process and the setting of dates.  Indicate that you the homeowner are doing the digging work.  If you don't do omit they will question you and avoid accepting an order from a homeowner.   They ask for the contractor to order the markout only if you tell them one is involved.  Please keep all flags in place once they are planted and maintain all their confirmation emails.  No machine trench or digging work is possible within 2 feet in either direction of any flagged utilities. Close in adjacent areas require hand digging w/shovels to avoid any line danger. https://www.nj1-call.org

What is Earth Drilling?

Earth drilling is a challenging digging service offered by Miniskid4hire.com 

We drill deep holes using a High Torque Auger Attachment that provides a safe more accurate method than renting "1-2 person hand held auger or other tools that are back breaking or extremely dangerous.  Our Auger Attachment and 4 Main Size Drill Bits create precise diameter holes down to 48".  


Earth Drilling Project Examples:  

9" Bit is used for posts our 12" or 18" Bit is used for larger Light Posts, Solar Panel Frame Posts,  Shed Foundation Holes, Playset Foundations, Deck Foundation or our 30" bit for 50 Gallon NDS Flow Well Dry Wells.


Using our R300 Zahn Mini or our Cast 30T Loader drill exactly the hole(s) that you need.

Our Auger Bits

We Have a Selection of Steel Earth Drill Bits For Use:


Using Zahn

9 Inch Dirt Bit (posts)


Using Cast 30T for height.

12 Inch Rock Bit (has special carbide nubs for rocky conditions)

(foundations - sonnotubes)


18 Inch Dirt Bit

Opens up 12" holes to get past rocks

or to re-center


30 Inch Dirt Bit

50 Gal. NDS Flow Well Dry Wells or Pre-Planting


Shaft Extender to increase drill depth from 36" to 48"


Zahn or Cast 30T

Other Auger Attachment Tools

Auger Torque Stump Planner (slices roots drills them out)

Spiral Log Splitter for big logs stumps or tree parts that cant be cut with chainsaw 

for easier movement.

Sonotubes

For Decks, Childrens Playsets and Large Shed foundations drilled holes often require Sonotubes to help to anchor the structure base (in concrete) to the ground.  Please be sure to measure the center point for drilling before we arrive and keep all the cardboard sonnotubes "on hand" the day we do the drilling.  It's important to quickly insert the tubes to confirm everything is straight and accurate.   The tubes also serve to keep the walls of the holes from caving in.  Another important drilling tip is to have plastic tarps ready  to cover holes under construction in case of rain.  Remember the tubes are cardboard.
