Removing concrete posts

[tommyleestaples]

Hi all, 

 

I have a friend who can help me this weekend so was going to get them to remove some concrete posts. There are 3 to remove, one will be replaced with a new concrete post and the other 2 are in the wrong places. I am not in a position right now to put the new concrete posts.

 

Therefore planning to back fill with soil the two holes that are in the wrong place and will try and compact it down. I would appreciate feedback on this.

 

With the post that needs to be replaced for now could I just leave the concrete post in the hole ready to just be pulled out and replaced at a later stage?

 

Thanks

Yes, backfill and compact with end of a post/log/big hamper etc. do it in layers to make compacting easier. If someone is assisting anyway, pull out the other one at the same time, easier to dig on your own than pull posts out

Thank you very much. I will get some top soil ordered up!
