Expert trenching services for drainage lines, water lines, electrical lines, and underground utilities in Oshkosh, WI and surrounding communities.

Drainage Line Installation

Standing water and poor drainage can lead to erosion, foundation issues, and unusable yard space. We can trench and install drainage lines to help move water where it belongs.


Common drainage projects include:

  • Retention pond drainage lines
  • Yard drainage systems
  • Drain tile installation
  • Downspout drainage extensions
  • Surface water management solutions
  • Drainage connections to ditches or approved discharge locations



Proper drainage trenching helps direct water away from structures, landscapes, and low-lying areas to reduce pooling and water-related property damage.
