COMPLETED LANDSCAPE TRENCHING
Bamboo Perimeter Trenching in Marietta
- Quoted route
- Approximately 70–75 linear feet around the bamboo
- Target trench section
- About 12 inches deep × 5–6 inches wide where conditions allowed
- Reported access
- Approximately 32 inches; full equipment route still required review
The problem, work and result
- The problem
- A bamboo perimeter needed excavation between a raised deck, mature trees and an existing wooden privacy fence. The narrowest access was reported at approximately 32 inches.
- The work
- Moss & Sons completed the trench-only work on September 25, 2026. The quoted route was approximately 70–75 linear feet, with a target of about 12 inches deep and 5–6 inches wide where conditions allowed.
- The result
- The customer hired Moss & Sons for trenching only. His landscaper installed the rhizome barrier and backfilled after our excavation. The photographs show the open trench and soil left alongside at our handoff.
This example records landscape trench excavation. A power or water line needs its own locating arrangements and contractor-specified dimensions.
Route and trench dimensions are quoted targets, not an as-built survey or a bamboo-barrier specification. Barrier installation and backfill were outside this excavation agreement.
“Fair price and delivered on exactly what I needed…”

BEFORE WE QUOTE
What shapes the price?
Scope and price are agreed after reviewing your property. These are the practical details Daniel checks before recommending work.
The specified trench
Length, depth, and width come from the agreed route and the requirements of the responsible electrician, plumber, or other contractor.
Access and ground
Equipment access, roots, rock, underground obstacles, and utility-locating arrangements affect the digging method and time.
Backfill and restoration
Agree who supplies and installs the line, who approves it before covering, and what backfill, compaction, and surface restoration are included.
Your written quote identifies the work, materials, finish and any exclusions. Additional work needs your approval. Photos help us begin; a property walk may be needed to confirm the scope.
Ask about your propertyPLAN THE WHOLE REPAIR
From the problem to the finished ground.
Combine suitable excavation, hauling, grading and restoration in one defined scope. Daniel confirms access, quantities, responsibilities and price before work begins.
Trench, trade handoff & restore
Your plumber or electrician needs excavation for a water or power line.
Scope to agree: Plan access and the contractor-specified route, excavate, coordinate the handoff, then backfill after the required release and restore the agreed surface.
Useful first details: Send the route length, both endpoints, your town and any written requirements from the installing contractor.
The appropriate specialist handles design, installation, connections, permits and inspections. Each scope and contracting arrangement is confirmed in writing.
Ask about this packageSee scope and planning detailsQuoted for your property. Haul loads, imported material, finish area, repeat trips and any specialist charges are identified before approval. Rock, hidden utilities or a changed scope require a discussion before extra work.
MAKE THE FIRST CONVERSATION USEFUL
What to send Daniel.
Start with your ZIP code and what needs attention. These details help if you have them; you can still ask without measurements or photos.
Tell Daniel About Trenching- The proposed start and end points and approximate trench length
- Depth and width requirements supplied by your electrician, plumber or other responsible contractor
- Gate/access width and what surface needs restoring; locating and digging arrangements are confirmed before work
FROM THE FIELD
Think beyond the trench.
The route, working space, and finished surface all belong in the plan.
Earthwork beside a building
Plan room for the machine, excavated soil, and the work that follows.
The surface matters too
Agree on backfill, grading, and ground cover as part of the scope.
Water where it is useful
Plan the excavation around the water point and the plumbing contractor’s requirements.
BEFORE WE DIG
A clear scope comes first.
Start with the Georgia 811 process. Private lines—such as power to a detached building, irrigation, or some water lines—may need a separate private locator. An 811 request alone does not locate everything on the property. Read Georgia 811’s guidance on private lines.
Tell Daniel about known utilities, septic areas, rock, roots, slopes, gates, and paved crossings. These affect the route, equipment, and price. Deep excavations, difficult rock, or crossings that need specialized equipment are assessed before any commitment.
COST & COVERAGE
Price the actual ground.
A short open run and a rocky route beside a building are different jobs. The quote depends on length, required dimensions, access, ground conditions, travel, and restoration. Daniel confirms the scope and price before work begins.
Based near Bremen, Moss & Sons considers trenching in Carrollton, Villa Rica, Temple, and surrounding West Georgia communities. Farther projects along the I-20 corridor are considered when the work and travel make sense.

THE MOSS & SONS APPROACH
Walk and define the job
Share the property ZIP code, what the line will serve, the approximate route length, and your timing. Photos of both ends and the access help Daniel assess the next step.
Confirm the route and readiness
Coordinate the scope with the installing contractor, complete utility locating, and agree on access, specifications, price, and the excavation schedule.
Dig, hand off, and restore
Excavate the agreed route, coordinate the installation and inspection handoff, then backfill and restore the surface to the agreed scope.
