What Does Trenching Involve?

Trenching is the process of cutting narrow, deep paths through the ground to house buried service lines. It’s a critical first step in installing utilities like gas, water, fiber, and power, whether for a new build or an upgrade.

Without a properly dug trench, your entire project can face delays, failed inspections, or future utility issues. A well-executed trench protects your infrastructure, meets local code, and ensures your systems operate safely and efficiently for years to come.

When Do You Need Residential Trenching?

Many common home improvement projects require residential trenching, especially when installing or upgrading buried service lines. This includes power, internet, and plumbing, as well as adding conduit for lighting or a detached garage, and improving drainage to prevent yard flooding.

Trenching may also be necessary if you're building an addition or replacing outdated systems that no longer meet current code requirements. If your project requires underground access, a properly dug trench is the first step.

What Affects the Cost of Trenching?

Several factors can affect the cost of trenching, particularly in relation to the unique conditions of your property and the type of utility being installed. Each trenching project is different, and pricing depends on the labor, equipment, and level of access involved.

Common cost factors include:

  • Trench size: Longer or deeper trenches require more labor and equipment.
  • Soil conditions: Rocky or compacted ground increases excavation time.
  • Site accessibility: Limited access can affect equipment setup and workflow.
  • Utility type: Gas, water, electric, and fiber all require different materials and depths.
  • Permit requirements: City approvals or inspections may add to the overall cost.

With a professional consultation, we’ll assess these factors and provide an accurate and free estimate for your site.
