Gas Service Line Installation
Excavation and trench work for gas service lines, coordinated with the utility and the licensed trades the work requires.
How gas work actually goes
Gas service work is tightly controlled and that is a good thing. The utility has requirements for depth, material, marking and inspection, and licensed trades handle the connections.
Our part is the ground. Trenching to the required depth and route, correct bedding, tracer tape so the next person to dig knows what is down there, and restoration afterward. We work to the utility's spec, not around it.
How we do it
Every job runs the same sequence. If something changes it, you hear about it the day we find it.
Confirm the route with the utility
Depth, material and route are set by their requirements, not by convenience.
Locates before digging
Every time, without exception. This is a live gas line.
Trench and bed
To required depth, bedded so nothing bears on the pipe, with tracer tape above the run.
Licensed connection and inspection
Made and inspected by those licensed to do it.
Backfill and restore
Compacted, topsoil, seed, paving restored.
What it costs
What moves the number
Priced by run length, depth, and restoration.
| Work | What changes the price |
|---|---|
| Gas service line, standard residential run | Length, depth, and utility requirements |
| Run to a detached garage or outbuilding | Distance and access |
| Excavation for meter relocation | Depth and restoration |
Utility requirements and inspection scheduling drive the timeline here more than the digging does.
We price off a site visit, not off a photograph, so you will not find a number on this page. You will get a written scope with a fixed price in it, and it will say what is included and what is not before you are asked for anything.
The work
Photographs from our own jobs.
Do you connect the gas yourself?
No. Connections are made by licensed trades and inspected. We do the excavation and trench work to the utility's specification.
How deep does a gas line go?
Set by the utility and local code. We work to their spec rather than a rule of thumb.
Can you run gas to a fire pit or outdoor kitchen?
We can do the excavation and trenching for it. The connection is made by the licensed trade.
