What kinds of trenching and utility work do you handle?

We handle trenching for drainage, water lines, utility runs, conduit, downspout extensions, grading support, and other underground service needs on residential properties. We tailor the trench depth, route, and finish to your project so the work is clean, practical, and built to last.

How do you avoid damaging existing underground lines?

We take planning seriously before any digging starts. We review the job site carefully, confirm the trench path, and coordinate utility locating as needed. That extra prep helps reduce risk, avoid costly damage, and keep your trenching project moving safely and smoothly.

Will my yard be a mess after the trenching is done?

We work hard to keep disruption to your property as limited as possible. Our goal is neat, efficient excavation with a clear plan for spoils, access, and cleanup. When the trenching work is complete, we leave the area in tidy, workable condition.

Do I need trenching for drainage problems or standing water?

In many cases, yes. Trenching is often part of a smart drainage solution when you have pooling water, runoff issues, soggy spots, or water moving toward your home. We can look at the grade and layout and recommend the best path for proper drainage.

How much does trenching and utility work cost?

Cost depends on the trench length, depth, soil conditions, access, obstacles, and the type of utility or drainage work involved. We provide clear, project-based estimates so you know what to expect. Our focus is solid workmanship, honest pricing, and no surprises.

Trenching & Utilities

At Hercs Works, we provide trenching and utility services for property owners who need clean, accurate digging without the stress of renting equipment or guessing at depth and layout. We help prepare your land for underground utility lines and service connections while keeping the work organized, safe, and efficient.

Our trenching service is often used for drainage solutions, irrigation lines, water lines, electrical conduit, low-voltage wiring, downspout extensions, and other underground runs that need a straight, properly planned path. We take time to understand the purpose of the trench, the route, and the site conditions so the job fits your property and your goals.

Every property is different. Soil type, slope, access, obstructions, and existing landscaping all affect how the work should be done. We evaluate the area, plan the trench path carefully, and work to reduce unnecessary disruption to your yard. Our goal is to leave you with a utility-ready trench that supports the next step of your project and helps protect the long-term performance of the system being installed.

As a hands-on husband-and-wife team, we know customers want clear communication just as much as quality work. We show up ready to work, explain the process in simple terms, and treat your property with care. Whether you are adding a new utility line, improving drainage, or expanding an outdoor feature that requires underground service, we bring the same attention to detail to every job.

Trenching work can save time and prevent problems when it is done right from the start. Proper depth, consistent grading when needed, and a well-planned route all matter. That is why we focus on precision and practical solutions instead of rushing through the job. If you have a specific trenching or underground utility project in mind, reach out to Hercs Works and we will be glad to talk through the details and help you move forward with confidence.

Our Trenching & Utilities Process

We keep trenching work organized, safe, and easy to understand from the first conversation to the final walkthrough. Our process is built to protect your property, install utility lines correctly, and give you clear communication at every stage.

Site Review, Utility Planning & Quote

We start with a property walkthrough to map the trench route, discuss your drainage, irrigation, electrical, or conduit needs, and review access, grading, and surface protection. Then we coordinate utility locating, answer your questions, and provide a clear quote with scope, timeline, and next steps.

Careful Trenching & Line Installation

Once utilities are marked and the plan is approved, we schedule the work and trench with the right equipment for your yard size, soil conditions, and depth requirements. We install or prepare the path for utility lines with clean cuts, careful spoil management, and close attention to safety, drainage flow, and existing landscape features.

Backfill, Cleanup & Final Walkthrough

After installation, we backfill and compact the trench in layers to help reduce settling and protect the finished line over time. We tidy the work area, restore the site as much as possible, and walk the project with you so you know exactly what was completed and can feel confident in the result.

Josh and Lacey are amazing! Hercs Works is the best contracting company I have ever hired in Tucson, Arizona. I had them carve out a 260ft driveway and weld a gate at the entrance. Their communication was perfect. Their attention to detail was perfect. Their work ethic is second to none. They will be my first call for any future jobs on my property.

Josh & Lacey are a fantastic team & great to work with! I have had them handle several projects for me… cut down a dead tree, trim down my overgrown Texas Rangers, redo the rip rap around my driveway as well as regrading my driveway & installing 3/8” minus aggregate. I will continue to utilize this great team on future projects. So glad I came across Hercs Works! They are great to work with them & I would highly recommend them to anyone needing just about anything done around your property.
