New York 811

#NewYork811’s Executive Director, Roger Sampson is with Mark Stowe, filming an episode of #TheDirectionTV and helping to promote #safe #excavation in #NewYork.

This recipe was made possible by underground utilities! Contact 811 before you dig to avoid damaging these utilities to keep your pumpkin spice lattes coming all season long.

Hello avid gardener, or friend of an avid gardener. You may know that spring-blooming bulbs, such as tulips and daffodils, should be planted in September or October when the soil temperatures have cooled. However, if you accidentally plunge your shovel into an electrical line while planting bulbs, you could be digging yourself into a world of trouble. So If you're a daffodil devotee, don't forget to contact 811 to have your underground utilities marked before you dig.

#NewYork811 thanks #asplundh_tree for a great job working hard and keeping the community #safe by contacting #811 and respecting the marks! Nice work #AsplundhTreeExpert
