The Tennessee service that notifies utility owners so underground lines can be marked before digging begins.
Tennessee 811 describes itself as the one-call service that notifies member utilities so they can mark underground lines before digging begins. Its website explains how to request a locate and how far ahead to call. Owners in Nashville planning a patio, fence, post hole, drain or tree should request marking before any digging.
We are an independent company and are not part of Tennessee 811. We call for utility marking before digging on your project and plan layouts around the marked lines. Private lines such as irrigation, lighting and gas to a grill are often not marked, so we also ask you what is buried on your property.
