We review the trench route, depth, width, and soil/rock conditions and provide a clear, upfront estimate for the trenching work.
We contact Texas 811 to have existing underground utilities marked before any digging begins — protecting everyone on the job site.
We cut the trench to the specified depth and width using the right equipment for your soil and rock conditions — chain trencher or excavator-based, whichever is appropriate.
After installation, the trench is backfilled with compacted material in lifts to prevent future settling. The surface is restored and the site is left clean.
Trenching in Central Texas is rarely straightforward. From the limestone ledge rock of the Hill Country to the caliche hardpan throughout Travis and Williamson counties to the heavy expansive clays of the Blackland Prairie, every area presents its own challenges for trench work. Wilson LMCS has the equipment and experience to cut through all of it efficiently and accurately. We use chain trenchers and excavator-based trenching attachments suited to the soil and rock conditions at your site. Chain trenchers deliver clean, narrow trenches for utility and irrigation lines on softer sites. For rocky or harder ground, our excavator equipment provides the power to cut through limestone and caliche layers that would defeat lighter equipment. Every trench we dig is cut to the depth and width required for your specific application. We work to minimize surface disturbance, keeping spoils neatly alongside the trench for easy backfill. We always contact Texas 811 before any digging begins to locate existing underground utilities. After installation, we backfill and compact properly to prevent settling and sinkholes.
We have the equipment to cut through Central Texas limestone, caliche, and hardpan that will stop lighter trenching machines in their tracks.
Trenches are cut to the exact depth and width required for your utility type, ensuring code compliance and proper installation.
We locate existing utilities before every job. Hitting an unmarked gas line or electrical conduit is a catastrophic event — we don't skip this step.
A well-cut trench that's poorly backfilled leads to sinkholes and damaged utilities. We compact backfill in proper lifts to ensure the trench stays put.
Yes. Much of Central Texas sits on or near limestone shelf rock. We have excavator-based equipment capable of breaking through and removing limestone to achieve the required trench depth.
Trench depth depends on your utility type and equipment. We can achieve the depths required for standard utility installations. Contact us with your specific depth requirements and we'll confirm our capabilities for your site.
Absolutely. We always contact Texas 811 to have existing underground utilities located and marked before any digging begins. This is a non-negotiable safety requirement on every job.
Yes. Once your utility, pipe, or conduit is installed, we backfill and compact the trench in lifts to prevent settling. We can also coordinate with your other trade contractors to backfill after their inspection.
