Know What's Below: Whether you are planning to do it yourself or hire a professional, smart digging
means calling 811 before each job. Homeowners often make risky assumptions about whether or not they
should get their utility lines marked, but every digging job requires a call – even small projects like planting
trees and shrubs.
