Tight access is our specialty

One operator, one point of accountability, from locate to reinstate.

Dial-A-Trench is an owner-operated excavation business built for professional, reliable work on commercial and civil projects. When you need an underground service trenched, bored or exposed, you deal with the person on the machine — not a call centre.

We diligently use Dial Before You Dig and underground service locating before every job, cut concrete or bitumen where crossings are needed, use hydro excavation to expose live services safely, and compact and reinstate on completion.

The right kit for confined and open ground alike.
