A locate must be completed before any plantings are done to verify that there isn’t any electric, cable, telephone, water, or gas lines near where we will be planting. This will prevent us from hitting any lines and causing damage. The locate must be done by Hubinger Landscaping Corp. Any communication with the locate companies will be done by HLC, the homeowner should not contact the locate companies. A locate needs to be completed even if one was done recently. Dog fences, irrigation systems, and gas lines for something like an outdoor grill are not marked during a locate. It is the homeowner’s responsibility to mark such lines before the planting.
