- Wish that would work here. I'm nearly all solid rock. I have a hole started, but through rock and many days of jackhammering, which is tough at 61. I have a big (as in VW sized big) rock in the hole

- You just need the right equipment. You can find someone with an excavator and rock hammer that will make short work of this. The rock hammer is a hydraulic jack hammer that replaces the bucket on the

- Another way to go is to split the rock with feathers (also called wedges). Check with a local quarry, stonemason, or grave marker outfit to see if they will do it. A series of holes is drilled along
