Utility Trenching
Underground lines fail when they are laid in the wrong material or at the wrong depth. Trenching done right means locates called first, the trench cut to the required depth, the line bedded in clean material, and the backfill compacted so the ground does not settle over it a year later.
What the work involves
- Water service trenching
- Electrical and conduit trenching
- Trench bedding and backfill
- Compaction over completed lines
- Utility locates arranged before the ground is opened
- Restoration and grade over the finished run
Who this is for
- New construction that needs services run to the building
- Owners extending power or water to a shop or outbuilding
- Replacing a line that has already failed once

Utility Trenching questions
Who calls for utility locates?
Washington law requires locates before excavation, and they get called before we open ground. It is free and it is not optional. Hitting a buried line is expensive and dangerous for everyone standing near it.
Do you connect the line as well as dig for it?
The trenching, bedding and backfill are ours. Making the connection is usually the licensed electrician or plumber's part. We will coordinate with whoever you have so nobody is standing around waiting on the other.
