Utility Trenching
Straight, safe utility trenches
Clean trenching for water, sewer, electric, gas, and communications lines with utility locates, correct depth, and proper backfill planning.
Why it matters
Underground utilities are the essential infrastructure that makes modern properties functional — water, sewer, electric, gas, communications, and fiber optic lines all need to get from point A to point B through properly excavated trenches. When you need trenching done right, Liteworks Co. delivers clean, precisely-graded utility trenches throughout Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky.
We work with licensed plumbers, electricians, gas contractors, and communications companies to ensure every trench meets the depth, width, and bedding specifications required by code and by the installing contractor. Our role is to have the trench ready when your utility contractor shows up — to spec, on time, and with minimal disruption to the surrounding property.
Before any digging, we contact OUPS (Ohio Utilities Protection Service) or Kentucky 811 to have all existing utilities located and marked. This is not optional — it's the law and it's critical for safety. We take this step seriously on every project, every time.
