Frequently Asked Questions

How deep do utility trenches need to be?

Trench depth requirements vary by utility type and local codes. Water lines typically need 12-48 inches of cover (deeper in cold climates), electrical lines require 18-24 inches, and communication lines generally need 18-24 inches of cover.

Can you trench through rocky soil?

Yes. We have specialized equipment to handle rocky soil, clay, and other challenging ground conditions. Rocky terrain may increase project costs due to additional equipment needs and labor.

Do I need permits for trenching work?

Many utility trenching projects require permits, especially those connecting to municipal services. We help determine which permits are needed and can handle the application process.

How long does a typical trenching project take?

Most residential trenching projects take 1-3 days. A simple 50-foot trench might be completed in a single day, while extensive projects covering several hundred feet may take 3-5 days depending on soil conditions and complexity.

Can you trench close to existing structures?

Yes. We use precision equipment and hand-digging when necessary to safely create trenches near buildings, foundations, and existing utilities.

Will trenching damage my lawn or landscaping?

Trenching will create a temporary disturbance to your landscape. We minimize damage by carefully removing and replacing sod when possible and restoring disturbed areas after completion.

Can multiple utilities share the same trench?

Sometimes, but specific spacing and separation requirements apply when placing different utility lines in the same trench. We ensure all code requirements are met for shared trenches.

How much does trenching cost?

For basic trenching, costs typically range from $8-15 per linear foot for standard depth trenches in normal soil conditions. A typical 100-foot water line trench might cost $800-1,500, while complex projects with rocky soil, greater depths, or multiple utility lines may range from $15-30 per linear foot. All projects receive free, detailed estimates based on your specific requirements and site conditions.
