trench\u00a0(noun): ditch with steep sides; long deep hole dug in the ground, usually with steep or vertical sides.<\/p>\n
In our industry, we get this question all the time. Our primary clients are those who have estate properties with well-manicured lawns and landscapes. The thought of us coming in with a trencher and cutting ditches all over their yard is enough to cause some major anxiety.<\/p>\n
<\/a><\/p>\n Not a good idea for your lawn<\/p>\n Although running a trencher in the yard might be a lot faster, there are some major draw backs to it. First, most obviously, is the damage to the lawn itself. Not only does it leave a pretty large ditch, it\u2019s also almost impossible to fill back in completely and will leave a pretty good indention in the yard after the grass does finally grow back in. Also, there is the nearly guaranteed damage to the irrigation system. Trying to repair all of the cut water lines would be a nightmare, and one would pray those repairs won\u2019t leak afterward. Plus, there\u2019s usually some kind of wiring that was not buried deep enough, and it gets cut and needs to be repaired. Finally, trenching can cut tree roots causing permanent or sometimes fatal injury to the trees.<\/p>\n Despite these potential traumas, sometimes a trencher is required, however. That is when the client, usually in a commercial situation, requires\u00a0high voltage lighting. According to the National Electrical Code, the wiring necessary for this lighting must be installed at\u00a0minimum 18\u201d depth. When long ditches need to be that deep, then the time saved over digging the trench by hand more than makes up for the repairs that might need to be made. If it\u2019s just a short distance, though, hand digging may still be best.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n This edger is similar to the custom made edger that we use<\/p>\n
