“Very tight quarters to do the boring and it was no problem for Dave. Work site was back to its original condition before they left for the day.”

“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.”

“He was very reliable and completed his portion of the job timely. I would highly recommend him to other households.”

Questions
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Can you run utilities to the back yard without tearing up the landscaping?

Yes — that’s exactly what directional boring is for. We bore from the house to the pool equipment pad, kitchen or pool house and only dig small pits at each end.

What do you install for a pool or outdoor kitchen?

Gas lines for pool heaters, fire features, BBQs and outdoor kitchens; electrical conduit for pool equipment, lighting and outdoor power; and water lines where needed.

Can you work around a pool already under construction?

Yes. We coordinate with your pool builder or landscape contractor so the utility runs are in before hardscape goes down.
