What We Drill
RESIDENTIAL HDD SERVICES

From single-family homes to multi-unit properties — we bore under driveways, patios, retaining walls, and landscaping without disturbing your property.

Residential Bores

Gas, water, electric, and sewer service laterals installed under driveways, sidewalks, and landscaping — no trenching through your yard.

Single-Family & Multi-Unit

Driveway & Patio Crossings

Bore under concrete driveways, pavers, patios, and walkways to install utilities without any demolition or surface damage.

No Concrete Demo

Street & Sidewalk Crossings

Bore under existing pavement, curb, and gutter without cutting. Cleaner, faster, and often required by city permit.

No-Cut Permitted

Multiple Utility Bores

We can pull gas, electric conduit, and water in a single bore path or staged bores — reducing total site disruption and mobilization costs.

Bundled Service Available

Tight-Access Sites

Our compact Vermeer D20x22 S3 rig can work in narrow side yards, tight urban lots, and space-constrained commercial sites.

Compact Rig Available

Permit & Inspection Ready

We work with your GC or directly with the city. We understand permit requirements, inspection hold points, and documentation needs.

How It Works
THE HDD PROCESS

Horizontal directional drilling is a trenchless method that installs pipe or conduit underground with minimal surface impact.

01

Site Walkthrough

We review the bore path, utility marks, surface conditions, and access points before any equipment is staged.

02

Pilot Bore

A small-diameter drill head is steered underground along a guided path from entry to exit using locating equipment.

03

Reaming & Pullback

The bore hole is enlarged to the required diameter, then pipe or conduit is pulled back through in a single pass.

04

Restoration

Entry and exit pits are backfilled and compacted. Surface is restored to match existing conditions.
