Frequently Asked Questions

FAQs About Electrical, Gas & Propane Trenching

How deep should utility trenches be?

Trench depth varies by utility and material. Electrical lines are often 18–24 inches deep; gas and propane typically range from 18–36 inches depending on the code. We ensure every trench meets exact local and national requirements.

Can gas and electric be trenched together?

In some cases, yes—but strict separation distances must be followed. We handle trench layout and spacing to ensure everything is safe and inspector-approved.

Do you install the lines, or just trench?

We provide trenching and conduit installation. Licensed electricians or gas fitters handle the actual line installation, and we coordinate closely to ensure timing and specs align.

What about propane tanks or fire pits?

Yes, we provide propane line trenching to tanks, fire pits, pool heaters, outdoor kitchens, and more—whether above or below ground.

Can you install empty conduit for future use?

Absolutely. We often install conduit runs for future power, gas, or low-voltage lines—saving you time and money later.

Do I need a permit?

Yes, most utility trenching projects require permits and inspections. We can help guide you or work directly with your contractor or inspector.

Can you trench under driveways or sidewalks?

Yes, we offer trenching across hard surfaces using saw cuts or directional boring, depending on site conditions.

			Dig’um removed an expanse of old, deep, tenacious ivy on my steep hillside. Dominic was very conscientious and professional in his estimate and removing as much ivy as possible without destroying the hill. Most importantly, he and the fantastic crew clearly communicated the process before and during removal and listened to my concerns. Highly recommend for your excavation needs.

			From start to finish our experience with Dig ‘Um Dirtworks was off the charts.Dominic made himself available on a Sunday to walk our project, listen to our needs and provide his professional opinion on what was feasible for our budget.The owners, Dominic and Jimmy communicated throughout the entire process and had to juggle the order of operations given our weird property layout and inclement weather (all under a deadline.).End result: two beautiful retaining walls and a functional driveway within the timeline promised.They are good people that do good work.*Shoutout to Siler too!

			Highly professional and genuinely nice guys, Dom, Jimmy and their crew did an absolutely fantastic job on my driveway! I couldn't be more pleased with their quality of work and service. They were up front and accurate about the cost, arrived on time, and went beyond what was needed. I will without a doubt be using them for any work needed in the future. It is people like them who you want to do business with. Cant recommend them enough!

			Dig'um Dirtworks are the best contractors I have ever experienced. I had a basic outline of what I needed to improve the horses' shelter footing and the large high traffic land around it, removing deep layers of organic material and replacing with rock , gravel and sand. They far exceeded my expectations. So well executed, so professional, safety protocols and consideration for my animals were a priority. And goodness they work fast !!! And then they redid my driveway as well !!! I am so very pleased, these guys are amazing. Jimmy, Dominic & Cyler - can't thank you enough....

			A business is made up of people, and a good business takes good people. Dominique and Jimmy are exceptional people, hence an exceptional business with exceptional results. I can't recommend Dominic and Jimmy highly enough, and their crew at the time, Cyler and Alex. What impressed me most was their human kindness, the respect they treated me and my husband with, transparency, efficiency, savvy, skill, tenacity, eye to details, willingness to keep us informed and involved with the decision making every step of the way when the unexpected occurred or to consult others as needed. Not to mention we enjoyed their sense of humor. They never lost sight of our goals and wants and went out of their way and above and beyond to make that happen if they could. If a part of our plan was not possible, they brought ideas and solutions forward. Key to the success of our project, in my estimation, was their commitment to this community: their firm belief that cooperation and helping each other out builds good working networks that serves not only the businesses but their customers as well. They sought out the best deals possible for us. They were meticulous in the details, taking their time to consult as a team to the best next steps when challenges were encountered whether that was in materials not available in a timely way, delays in the permit process, on sight realities not matching the engineering guidelines, weather... They worked in a tight area with big machinery, conscious of our neighbors. They left the alley behind our house and our neighbors driveway, which they got permission to turn their equipment around in, in better condition than they found it. They showed up when they said they would and when they couldn't they communicated with us as soon as possible. A fire broke out near our home in the middle of the job one late afternoon. We were notified we may need to evacuate. They had an excavator and backhoe on the premises and I called them to warn them so they could come and move their gear to a safer location. They brought an extra driver and truck to help move us and our belongings as well. Not only do I trust them with excavating, but with our lives as well. My husband and I hired the Dig'Um Dirtworks crew to excavate our steeply sloped back yard, put in three step terraces using large allen block for the two retaining walls with drainage system to meet city requirements. They helped landscape it and put in a moderate sized flagstone patio, delivered and placed a BIG rock, helped us lay the ground for a 16x16 foot labyrinth and a gravel pad for a workshop. When the job was done, they came and volunteered their time and helped Bob put up solar panels on his new shop. Trust is earned. They are trustworthy which is no small thing. We are two senior citizens very grateful for their generosity and expertise in helping make our retirement dreams come true.

			Dom, Jimmy, and crew did great work. Dom spent hours with me, just walking the property to really understand what we wanted and needed. He recommended ideas to save us money, even when it meant less of them. They worked hard and fast and the outcome was fantastic. Cannot recommend them enough. We will definitely have them come back as more projects are needed down the line.

			Dominic came out the same day I called for an estimate on leveling my gravel driveway as well as adding a parking pad. They got me on the schedule and completed the work within 3 days of my original call! Very friendly crew of Dominic, Jimmy and Skyler finished the job quickly and I was very happy with the quality of work. I would absolutely work with them again and recommend them to anyone looking for dirtwork.

			Much like other reviews have already called out, Dig'um was fantastic to work with and extremely easy to communicate with. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend or hire them again. The crew showed up ready to work and the completion of our project (driveway, excavation, and other work) wrapped on schedule.

			Dominic and his team were an amazing help in preparing our new property to become livable. They answered all my questions (and calls and texts!) and went above and beyond to help. It can be challenging to dive into developing land for the first time and they made it so much easier. Absolutely hiring them for any future work. Thanks Dig Um!

			I hired Dig’um to put in a driveway and gravel pad and connect water to a rural property. Dom went above and beyond with clear communication throughout the process and did his best to get the job done ahead of schedule. He respectfully answered all my questions (even the dumb ones) connected me with a good electrician, and followed up upon completion several times to make sure everything was as expected and there weren’t any unforeseen issues with settling etc. A great, honest and thoughtful crew, highly recommended. I won’t hesitate to hire them again in the future.

			Dom and Jimmy are amazing. They were very responsive to my calls, both came by the worksite the same day I inquired, and showed genuine care and attention to detail throughout the project. I had them excavate and put in a level gravel pad and everything turned out great! They are technically skilled but also highly creative. Can't recommend them enough! Thanks guys!

			Jimmy & Dominic did everything as agreed. They dug a drainage ditch, installed a culvert and left the finished area clean. They were not only quick to meet with me and supply a clear quote, but got the job done efficiently and promptly after their quote was accepted. I recommend them highly.

Their bid was clear, fair, and complete with a visual rendering. They communicated with us consistently during the build and completed the work ahead of schedule. We are thrilled with their work building retaining walls, drainage, hot tub pad, fortified road, and parking spot and will return to them for future projects.
