What is Horizontal Boring?
Horizontal boring, also known as directional boring or trenchless technology, is a method of installing underground pipes and conduits without digging trenches. Using specialized equipment, we bore a path underground and pull pipes through, leaving your property virtually untouched.
This technique is perfect for running utilities under driveways, sidewalks, landscaping, or any area where traditional trenching would cause significant damage and disruption.
Perfect For:
- Residential properties
- Established landscaping
- Under driveways
- Across sidewalks
- Around tree roots
- Near foundations
