How trenching and plowing works

Trenching uses ride-on or walk-behind trenchers to cut a precise channel for cable or conduit, followed by placement and backfill. Cable plowing pulls product directly into the ground with minimal surface disturbance, ideal for long runs across open terrain. Riddco selects the right method based on terrain, soil conditions, and product type.
