UNDERGROUND UTILITIES IN LAFAYETTE

Built for Lafayette Properties

Lafayette’s hills, retaining walls and heritage oaks make trenching expensive and risky. Directional boring goes under walls and root zones and keeps steep yards stable.

Common Lafayette Projects

Overhead-to-underground conversions on wooded lots, standby generators for outage-prone hillsides, ADU utilities, panel upgrades and water service replacement.

“David had to trench through my backyard paver patio, but he was careful to minimize the damage to the patio and set aside the removed pavers in a neat stack… helped me navigate the process with PG&E.”

“David was able to start on the job immediately, pivot when we hit a large boulder underground… and dig underneath a retaining wall without damaging it. He has a deep understanding of the PG&E Greenbook.”
