Digging and trenching in McGraw, NY
Underground service runs, dug with our own machine.
Call us when
- You want overhead service moved underground
- A new garage, barn or well needs power run to it
- Overhead lines keep getting hit by limbs and ice
What's involved
An underground run needs a trench at the right depth, the right conduit or direct-burial cable, and a call to 811 a few days before digging so buried utilities get marked.
Know where your septic, well line and any private wires run. 811 marks public utilities, not what a previous owner buried.

Questions about digging and trenching
Why bury a service line?
Underground lines aren't exposed to falling limbs, ice and wind the way overhead lines are.
Do I need to call 811?
Yes. Anyone digging in New York has to call 811 ahead of time so underground lines are marked.
