Utility Trenching in Eugene, Oregon
Running water, electric, gas, or fiber optic to a new building? Need to replace an aging water line? Our mini excavator makes utility trenching fast and precise — consistent depth, clean cuts, minimal lawn damage.
The Problem
Hand-digging utility trenches is backbreaking work — and takes forever. A 100-foot trench might take days of manual labor. Plus, you need consistent depth and width to meet code requirements and protect your lines.
The Solution
Our Rippa R13 Pro cuts clean, straight trenches at consistent depths. The 12-inch bucket is perfect for most residential utilities, and we can go up to 7'11" deep if needed. Rubber tracks protect your lawn, and the zero-tail swing works in tight spaces near buildings.
