Trenching for cables and pipes
Digging out trenches and gullies for cables and pipes (e.g. electricity, water, ethernet, air source heat pumps, etc.)
Need to bury a cable or pipe in your garden but don’t want to spend days or weeks digging out the trench by hand?
Whether it’s trenching for electricity or ethernet cables, water pipework, or specialist pipework for air source heat pumps, my mini digger makes light work of it.

Not only that, but I can remove the turf above the trench in sections and put it to one side, so it can be re-laid once the pipework is in place and the trench re-filled. I can also board out your lawn so that the mini garden digger’s tracks do as little damage as possible.
Capable of easily going through a garden gate, garage side door, or even a house, my mini garden digger can easily get into the back garden and make light work of digging out the trenches you need. I can also supply and/or drive a mini dumper – or labourers with wheelbarrows – to move the spoil to the front garden and arrange for cost-effective removal by a grab lorry or skip.

This video shows me digging a deep but narrow trench for a customer who needed to bury some cables at the legally required depth.
- Before I started digging I carefully removed the turf in sections so that it can be laid back in place once finished.
- The mini garden digger is sitting on a wooden board to protect the lawn
- Once the cables were laid, the trench was backfilled with the soil, the lawn was brushed off, and the turf over the trench re-laid – you’d never know a trench had been dug!
