Trenching & Underground Utilities, Done Right
We trench for water, sewer, storm, conduit and communication lines, matching width, depth and slope to the pipe and the plans. We use trench boxes or sloping for safety, bed the pipe, backfill and compact in lifts and restore the surface.
We have underground utilities located before every dig and work around lines we find, using careful hand-digging near them.
Music City Excavation brings trenching & underground utilities to homes, farms and businesses in Nashville and across 16 Middle Tennessee cities.

Questions About Trenching & Underground Utilities
Still have a question?
How deep does a utility trench need to be?
It depends on the utility and local requirements. We dig to what your utility or electrician specifies.
Do you call 811?
Yes. We have underground utilities located before we dig and work carefully around what is marked.

We can break rock with hydraulic hammers when needed. We discuss it with you early.
