Geez it's not that hard to do yourself. Rent a post hole digger and get to work. At $5k, they are just exploiting your laziness.



I'm 80 years old and can still build a fence. A manual Post Hole digger, dig about fifteen holes. Wait until after a rain and the soil should be easy to dig.
I built a fence, about three hundred ft, a few weeks back. I drove several steel T-posts and dug a couple of post holes about 12" in diameter, 2 ft deep.
If that is Louisiana soil, it should be easier to dig than in the rocks and clay here in East Tennessee.
Good Luck

Start a hole, fill with water, go to the next and keep the previous ones topped off. Profit.

It is a trade-off, you spend more time getting the LA gumbo off your diggers than actually digging. That 5 gallon bucket you drag around with you to keep the diggers wet is invaluable. I don't mind gravel-sized rocks and clay as much as I hate roots.
