Q&A
My lawn in Longmont has dry patches despite watering. Could it be a broken sprinkler line, and can you help?
Absolutely. Dry patches are often a sign of a leak underground, which is a common issue in our area. We use our trench digging expertise to carefully excavate along your irrigation line, locate the break, and perform a precise repair. This fixes the water waste and gets your lawn back to an even, healthy state.
What's involved in trenching for a new sprinkler system or major line replacement?
For a new system or full line replacement, we start by planning the trench path to avoid other utilities. Using our excavation equipment, we dig clean, deep trenches to the proper grade for drainage and pipe placement. We handle the heavy digging and backfilling, ensuring a stable base that prevents future settling and line damage common in Colorado soils.
You mention excavation—can that help with lawn drainage issues beyond just sprinkler leaks?
Yes, definitely. Poor drainage can cause soggy yards or erosion. Our excavation services can include grading and trenching for French drains or dry creek beds to redirect water away from your home and foundation. Solving these underlying drainage problems protects your landscaping investment and can significantly reduce overall water stress on your lawn.
