August 11 is National 811 Day

Whether you are planting fall bulbs in your backyard, or preparing for a new construction project, anyone planning to do any digging is required, by law, to notify DigSafe® at 811 or digsafe.com at least three working days before any digging begins.

Utilities can be buried just a few inches below the ground, so even tiny gardens can do big damage to your community!
