How Our Process Works

We start by marking the route and confirming the required depth and width based on your utility type and local codes. In Ocoee, this often means adjusting for soil composition and ensuring the trench can handle both drainage and structural demands over time.

Evergreen Excavation & Landscaping uses excavation equipment designed to navigate rocky ground without damaging existing utilities or landscape features. Rocky and clay-heavy soils require careful equipment handling. Once the trench is dug, we inspect alignment and grade before any lines are laid.

After your utilities are in place, we backfill using compacted material that prevents voids and future settling. This step is critical for long-term safety and performance, especially when trenches run under driveways or near foundations.

What to Expect When You Book

Below are answers to common questions about utility trenching in Ocoee and what you can expect throughout the process.

How deep do utility trenches need to be?
Depth depends on the type of utility. Water lines typically require 18 to 24 inches, while electrical conduit may need 24 to 36 inches depending on voltage and local code.
Can you trench through rocky soil?
Yes. We use specialized equipment to handle the rocky and clay-heavy soils common in Ocoee without damaging underground infrastructure or slowing your timeline.
Do you backfill and compact after installation?
Absolutely. We backfill with compacted material to stabilize the trench and prevent settling, which is essential for long-term safety and durability.
How long does a typical trenching project take?
Most residential trenching jobs are completed in one to two days, depending on distance, soil conditions, and whether utilities need to be installed immediately.
Can you work around existing landscaping?
Yes. We plan routes carefully to minimize disruption and restore areas after backfilling so your yard stays as intact as possible.
