Supporting Services included
with Utility Installations

Every utility installation includes the site prep that makes it possible. We handle clearing, excavation, and erosion control around the work site, so you're hiring one crew instead of three.

* We can coordinate with your team to help keep your build schedule on track

What we install

Water. Domestic water lines from the meter or well to the house or building, plus tie-ins and extensions for additions and outbuildings.

Sewer and septic. Sanitary sewer lines and connections, and setting septic tanks on residential lots.

Storm. Storm drains, pipe, and drainage control that move runoff away from buildings, driveways, and neighboring property.

Power. Trenching and conduit for power service lines, coordinated with your electrician and the utility.

One crew, start to finish

Utility work goes smoother when the same crew clears the site, digs the trench, lays the pipe, and backfills it. There's no waiting on a second sub to show up, and no finger-pointing if something doesn't line up. We bed the pipe properly, backfill and compact in lifts so trenches don't sink later, and keep erosion control in place the whole time the ground is open.

How a utility job runs

  1. Plans and site walk. We review the plans and walk the route with you.
  2. Written estimate. You get a fixed-price quote for the full scope.
  3. Locate and lay out. Existing utilities are located and the new lines are laid out before digging.
  4. Trench and install. We dig, bed, and lay the line or set the tank.
  5. Inspection. The work is ready for inspection before it's covered up.
  6. Backfill and restore. We backfill, compact, and grade the surface back.

Who we install for

Homeowners and builders

We work for homeowners getting a lot ready for a new house, a driveway, or a backyard project, and for builders and general contractors who need a sitework sub they can count on. Either way you get a written, fixed-price quote that covers the full scope, not an open-ended time-and-materials bill. We show up when we say we will, and we stand behind the work.

Frequently Asked Questions

What utilities do you install?

Domestic water lines, sanitary sewer, storm drains and drainage, power service line trenching, and septic tanks, along with tie-ins, extensions, and complete site utility packages for new construction.

Do you handle the trenching and backfill too?

Yes. Trenching, bedding, and backfill are part of every installation, and so is the clearing, excavation, and erosion control around the work.

Can you run a water or power line to a new garage, shop, or addition?

Yes. Utility tie-ins and extensions for additions and outbuildings are part of what we do.

Do you install septic tanks?

We set septic tanks as part of our utility and excavation work on residential lots. Contact us with your project details and we'll go over the scope.

We give a written, fixed-price quote after reviewing the plans and walking the route.
