What do trench digging services include?
Trenching services involve digging a large hole, usually using a trenching shovel and a trencher to help successfully lay underground wires, pipes, or structural supports. It’s also traditionally done to install or repair public drains, sewer lines, and underground utilities to serve populated areas. Trenching also has plenty of benefits if you’re taking care of your lawn! Whatever you need, Taskers can make your home improvement project possible. Here are the most common things you can expect from trenching services near you:
Straight trenches
If you live in an area with a limited surface to disturb, such as near buildings or roadways, digging straight trenches is the right choice for you. It’s a kind of trench where the sides are parallel, and the base is at a right angle. Having trench boxes or shoring is usually required as protective systems. A six-inch straight trench can also be helpful if you’re trying to control pests in your property, where you can apply a non-repellent pesticide into the soil to achieve a treatment zone.
Sloped trenches
Sloped trenches have angled sides to prevent cave-ins. Its angle is determined by trench depth, soil type, and the amount of time the trench will remain open. If you’re planning to install large pipes or culverts, this can be the right kind of trench for you. It’s also common to have sloped trenches in new construction sites with a wider path of soil.
Benched trenches
To ensure that your trench or excavation site is entirely safe, you can try benching! Benched trenches are those with sides that have been cut away to create steps. The height of these steps, otherwise known as vertical distances, is determined by the soil type. The less stable your soil is, the shallower your angles should be. It’s best to bench it if your trench needs to be up to 20 feet deep. This is to help stabilize your trench and to make it more secure. For protective systems, shielding or trench boxes are usually used.
Bell-bottom pier hole trenches
For those planning to build a certain structure, make sure to have someone dig a bell-bottom pier hole trench! The base or bottom of the trench is usually wider than the top, giving it a bell-shaped cross-section. This is typically used to install footings to support the foundation of a structure. Since these kinds of trenches have sides sloping inward over the floor of the excavation, more protective systems are usually required to keep them from collapsing.

I know it's late notice but I unexpectedly ran out of time and need a hand. Need someone to come over and help me dig a 7 metre long by 60cm deep trench at the back of my garden bed to access the fence its against. Having a trenching shovel would be a great help (I only have one). Would prefer early morning (6:30am onwards) to beat the heat. Can do tomorrow or Monday the 19th of December. I know it's a long shot this late notice but thought I'd try. The successful applicant must be careful around my plants and reticulation as they are still in the ground. It will probably take about 3-4 hours but I'm not great at estimating these things. Offering $50 an hour. Willing to pay cash for any overtime and will provide cold drinks and food if wanted/needed. Hope someone is interested! - Due date: Before Tuesday, 20 December 2022

We have started this work but are hoping to have it done by Christmas. We need someone to finish digging out a trench for retic, as well as finish off removing weeds/grass from our backgarden. Roughly looking at 12 meters for the trench, and probably about 20 m2 of grass/weeds to remove (rough estimates). We'll get a skip out, and have wheelbarrow/tools etc
