Utility Trenching Services
Utility trenching is the precise excavation of narrow trenches to install underground lines—whether for irrigation, electrical power, gas, or data conduits. Rather than disruptive, back-and-forth digging, our crews use specialized trenchers and laser-guided excavators to carve straight, uniform channels at exactly the right depth and slope. This accuracy ensures your utilities are protected, accessible for future maintenance, and safely buried below frost lines and surface loads.
Key Benefits of Professional Trenching
Precision & Efficiency
Using GPS‐guided trenchers and laser‐calibrated equipment, Lance Landscaping LLC achieves straight, uniformly sized trenches on the first pass. This precision minimizes unnecessary digging, protects existing turf and hardscape, and accelerates project timelines. Efficient trenching also means less disruption to your property, reducing the need for extensive restoration work once the utilities are in place.
Safety & Regulatory Compliance
Our crews handle all “call‐before‐you‐dig” locates, permitting, and OSHA‐required shoring or sloping, ensuring every trench meets local depth-and-cover and excavation‐safety standards. By adhering strictly to municipal codes for electrical, gas, irrigation, and data lines, we help you avoid costly fines, liability risks, and service interruptions—giving you peace of mind that your underground infrastructure is installed correctly and legally.
Long-Term Reliability & Maintenance Savings
Proper pipe bedding with sand or fine gravel, followed by meticulous backfill compaction, prevents future settling and pipe damage. This attention to detail reduces the likelihood of leaks, misalignments, or clogs down the road, cutting repair costs and service downtime. By investing in professional trenching today, you secure durable underground lines that require minimal maintenance and stand the test of Denver’s freeze-thaw and load-bearing conditions.
Trenching Process & Best Practices
Every trenching job begins with a comprehensive site survey and utility locate to identify existing underground infrastructure. Once lines are marked, we plan the trench path to minimize lawn damage and avoid mature trees or other critical features. Using tracked or ride-on trenchers, our operators dial in trench depth and width to match pipe or conduit specifications—typically between 6 and 36 inches deep, and 4–12 inches wide, depending on the utility. After excavation, pipe bedding (sand or fine gravel) is laid to cushion the lines, followed by careful backfill and compaction to restore surface grade and prevent future settling.
Safety & Regulatory Compliance
Excavating near existing lines demands strict adherence to “call-before-you-dig” protocols and OSHA excavation safety rules. Lance Landscaping LLC handles all permitting, locates utilities through state-approved one-call systems, and installs trench-shoring or sloping whenever required to protect both workers and surrounding features. We follow local jurisdiction guidelines for depth, backfill materials, and marking, ensuring every trench installation passes inspection on the first visit.
