Services / Outdoor Cabling
Direct-burial and conduit runs to barns, gates, poles, and outbuildings — rated for heat, water, and everything the yard throws at it.
Outdoor-rated jacket isn’t optional here — flooded conduit is normal, not a failure. We use gel-filled/direct-burial cable, sealed penetrations, and terminations inside weatherproof boxes, because the cable will see water sooner or later.
Where a clean line of sight exists, a point-to-point wireless bridge beats digging. We do both — the survey decides on cost and ground truth, not on what we’d rather install.
Depends on the cable type and location — typically 18-24 inches for low-voltage in conduit, per code and local requirements.
We call 811 for public utilities and ask you to flag sprinkler lines at the survey — marks first, trench second.
Surface runs get eaten by mowers, sun, and animals — we bury or conduit-protect it properly so it stays working.
