Can I Install a Fence in Sandy Soil?
Every fencing project presents unique challenges. Fence installation specialists adapt their techniques to suit each individual project, such as by compensating for a difficult terrain. Sandy soil particles are coarse, and they drain well. This means the ground is likely to be dry, which makes digging post holes easier. However, sandy soil needs a little extra attention because of its inherent instability.
One option is to very firmly compact the soil once the post is in the hole. Sandy soil should be compacted so that all or nearly all of the soil that was removed will fit back into the hole, despite the presence of the fence post. A second option is to set the posts in concrete. Ideally, the top of the concrete should be rounded. The slope will help water drain away from the wooden fence post.
