Trenching in Knoxville, TN
HL Construction Group provides residential trenching services in Knoxville and East Tennessee for water lines, electrical conduit, gas lines, irrigation, and drainage, dug to code depth and properly bedded and backfilled.
A trench looks simple until you dig one by hand through Tennessee clay. We open utility trenches to code depth quickly and cleanly (water service, electrical conduit to a shop or pool, gas runs to an outdoor kitchen, irrigation mains) and coordinate with your licensed plumber or electrician's schedule.
Bedding and backfill matter as much as the dig: proper bedding protects the line, marked warning tape protects the next person who digs, and compacted backfill means the trench line never becomes a sunken scar across your yard.
