If you cut a "V" it's much easier... Basically run each pass at a 60 degree angle or so. Because the blade passes cross over each other, you can completely lift out big sections at a time and then just set them back in place after you've run your line.

You’d be better off with a sharp thin blade, plenty of plants won’t care much either way but with many plants that blade is too thick and corse, it’ll remove or destroy about 1/2” of material. I’d say to either get a single blade turkey carver, many use 2 blades, or just take a real knife, and cut it to size with a grinder, lay a sawzall blade over it and trace it around the base so it will actually lock into the sawzall… or maybe grind a sawzall blade down so it’s not so fat

You will find if you saw a "V" instead of two lines straight down, you won't need the pitchfork for removing the sod - you can use your hands. You also may not need to remove any dirt since you can place the pipe in the bottom of the V and replace the grass.

A sawzaw pruning blade is on the way to my house from Amazon as I type! What a simple and great idea. I'm digging a VERY small french drain to get rid of my A/C drip water (South Florida humidity puts out a lot of water). I don't need to go deep or far, so this is perfect. But digging in my yard with a spade or shovel is a constant fight against thick roots, which this will cut right through. I also think this will help when I repair my dead-for-5-years sprinkler system next month as well, allowing me to trench out the sections of line that are broken to repair them. The only thing that MAY have made your job a little easier would've been to snap a chalk line before you started digging so you wouldn't have to keep checking your direction, but your trench was straight without it, so apparently it wasn't necessary for you. I'd need a line it or it would be a curvy mess, LOL! Thanks for the video!

From many seasons of professional landscaping, I would just use my D-handel spade. Make the vertical cuts, then cut the sod's roots horizontally along the length of the trench scooping out long pieces. I'v don this many many times, put your sod pieces and dirt on tarps or plywood ect, replace it all carefully, rake it over so you hide the cut lines and the (hopefully) little bit of dirt that is on the grass, water it. Most people will never know something was done.

I only watched a minute and a half to see what blade you used. There's another video somewhere on KZitem that shows using a "trenching spade" to do a similar job for running wire. Such a spade is flat so it makes a hole straight down, and can be moved side to side to open that hole into a V shape. What I'm thinking is something between these two methods: Use the Sawzall to cut a single cut, then use a spade to move it side to side, avoiding the need to make a second cut or to lift sod. This could be the best of both worlds because the Sawzall could easily cut sod and roots that would be slow to penetrate with a trenching spade. Thanks for the idea.

I used to install irrigation systems. The hose clamps that you screw down are not the correct ones. The ones made for it you just squeeze them with nippers. They are single-use but they are much cheaper and they're very reliable being buried and they're easy to remove when you need to. They sell bags of them pretty much anywhere that you can get the fittings. If you need to do a lot of that poly pipe you can rent a machine called a cable plow and it will put them underground and you don't have to put dirt back on it puts the sod back in place and everything you just walk on it and then put some water on it to keep the grass from dying. Hit the end of the poly pipe with a propane torch for a few seconds and it makes it easy to slide the fitting on. The cable plow also has an attachment that will allow you to run pipe under a sidewalk, and I think we even did some under driveways. I think the one we used was a Ditch Witch. It's been years since I did it and honestly I don't miss it. In the fall you hook an air compressor up and blow the water out so they don't freeze. They normally use a gigantic tow-behind air compressor but you can use something smaller if you let it build back up and blow it several times.

Once it is all in I walk it in like you did. You can’t see the trench afterwards. For the winter I blow out the water with an air compressor and a special fitting I made to fit the hose bib.

No you're just supposed to use the correct clamps which is not the kind he used. The correct ones slip over the pipe and you squeeze them with nippers and they will last as long as the rest of the irrigation system. They sell them by the bag cheap.

Wow, i just might adapt your method to install the ground radials for amateur radio antenna, which won't need the trenching for the radial wires... All the Best! 73 DE W8LV Bill

Looks good to me. Simple, straight forward. I might have tried one of the new carbide wrecking blades. Cost probably equal to your Harbor Freight blade. Carbide more money,, but lasts longer.. Although,,, the carbide wrecking blade I have in mind is sometimes not easy to find. Well done !!

I do this to replace grass. Really good. Make sure not to get mud next to where the blade meets the machine, because it will keep the removal of the blade from happening when you want to. I have removed roots of rose bushes also, or. roots from bushes.

I live in the Rocky Mountains and they're named that for a reason. That blade would have broken within the first 6" here. LOL

This is a great idea. May I recommend adding a PVC section at the high end of the pipe with a drilled/tapped hole for a tire (Schrader) valve? At end of Fall just hook up a portable air tank and blow the water out for no chance of freezing. Good job.

What a great idea. I’ve got the same situation plus a power cord for my electric garden fence. I wonder if I couldn’t throw in a 12 gauge UF electric wire by the water pipe! This WILL save a lot of hassle when mowing. Thanks again for posting.

Run PEX and you won't have to worry about it freezing, and yep, put the UF cable in with it.

Ok, heres a trick. Hook the pipe to a hose with high presure and put a small jet nossel on the end. You can water bore the tube into place No diging works great to put a sprinkler head under a sidewalk to the other side.

Great idea. Thanks for the inspiration. I;ll use this technique to trench for electrical conduit, I'll spray paint a line first 😉
