🚧 It’s 8/11 — National 811 Day 🚧
A lot of people don’t realize this: under PA law, if you’re using powered equipment to dig — even for a mailbox post, a fence, or a small landscaping job — you’re required to call 811 at least 3 business days before you start.
To residents: planting a tree, building a deck, installing a fence with a powered auger? Call 811 first. It’s free for homeowners on their own property.
To fellow excavators: if you’re hired by a homeowner, their call doesn’t cover you. YOU have to call 811 yourself — a homeowner’s notification does not legally protect a hired contractor. Skipping it isn’t just risky, it’s a violation of Act 287.
811 gets your dig site marked at no cost, within that 3-10 business day window. No excuse not to.
Vito’s Property Services calls every time — no shortcuts. Need excavation, grading, or land clearing done the right way? We’re here.
