Waterline Trenching
Create a route for underground waterlines serving your home, outbuildings, yard hydrants, or livestock watering areas.
Backhoe Service
Excavation and access for water-related projects, with the scope planned around the ground conditions and the work your property needs.
Connected Installation
Discuss trenching alongside your waterline, hydrant, or livestock waterer installation so the underground work supports the complete system.

From the ground up.
What to expect when you work with Behrends.
Talk Through the Project
Tell us where water is needed, what is already in place, and what you want to accomplish. Photos and a rough sketch can help get the conversation started.
Review the Site
We consider the route, equipment access, existing improvements, and underground utility locations. The details of digging, backfilling, and finish work are agreed on before work begins.
Put the Plan to Work
We complete the agreed excavation work and coordinate it with the water installation or repair. You will know what is included and what comes next.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you trench for a new waterline?
Yes. Tell us where the line needs to start and end, what it will serve, and whether you also need the waterline installed. We will review the site and recommend a practical approach.
Can you help with hydrant or livestock waterer projects?
Yes. Trenching can be planned with waterline, hydrant, and livestock waterer installation. We look at the connection between the water source and the place you need to use it.
Do you handle general excavation projects?
Contact us with the details. Equipment access, ground conditions, and the type of excavation determine whether a project is a fit for our backhoe service.
What should I have ready when I call?
Your project address, a description of the work, and photos or a rough layout are helpful. We will discuss access, existing utilities, and the information needed to prepare an estimate.
