Directional Drilling Services in Westlake Village

If you live or work in Westlake Village, you know how much we value our beautiful streets, mature trees, and pristine landscaping. It’s one of the reasons we love operating here. But when you need to install new utilities—like water lines, gas pipes, or fiber optics—the last thing anyone wants to do is tear up a driveway or destroy a manicured lawn.

That is exactly where we come in.

At Directional Boring California, we specialize in Directional Drilling (often called Horizontal Directional Drilling or HDD). We are a development and engineering company licensed as both a General A Engineering Contractor and a General B Contractor in California. Basically, we have the skills and the licenses to handle complex infrastructure work without making a mess of your property.

What is Directional Drilling?

To put it simply, think of directional drilling as surgery for the ground. Instead of digging a huge trench across your property, we use specialized equipment to bore a small path underground. We start at point A and come out at point B, leaving the surface in between untouched.

You’ll find this method is perfect for Westlake Village because it allows us to install utilities under:

• Driveways and sidewalks
• Beautiful landscaping and gardens
• Parking lots
• Roads and highways

We handle everything from small residential projects to larger commercial infrastructure jobs throughout Los Angeles.

Why Experience Matters

We know that hiring a contractor can sometimes feel stressful. You want someone who shows up on time, does the job right, and communicates clearly.

One thing we are incredibly proud of is our background. We are a Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise (DVBE). We are also a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB).

What does that mean for you? It means we bring military-grade discipline, integrity, and planning to every single job site. We don't cut corners. We treat your property with respect, and we get the mission done.

In addition to our veteran status, we hold several other certifications that show our commitment to compliance and safety:
PDBE (Port of Long Beach Disadvantaged Business Enterprise)
SB-Micro (Small Business Micro)
* SB-PW (Small Business Public Works)

When you hire us, you are hiring a team that is vetted, licensed, and deeply experienced in California geology.

Factors That Influence Cost

A question we get asked a lot is, "How much does directional drilling cost?"

To be honest, it’s hard to give a flat price over the phone without seeing the project. Every job in Westlake Village is a little different. However, we believe in being transparent about what drives the price.

Here are a few things that might affect your quote:

1. Soil Conditions: Drilling through soft dirt is easier and faster than drilling through solid rock.
2. Distance: How far do we need to bore? A 50-foot run is obviously different from a 500-foot run.
3. Pipe Size: Larger pipes require a larger hole, which takes more time and different equipment.
4. Obstacles: Are there existing utility lines we need to navigate around? We always prioritize safety and use locators to avoid hitting other pipes.

If you are curious about the numbers for your specific project, just give us a ring. You can reach us directly at (213) 379-1805. We are happy to chat about what you need and give you a realistic idea of the scope.

How We Work

When we arrive at a job site in Westlake Village, we try to keep things low-stress for you.

First, we plan the bore path carefully. We look at where existing utilities are buried. Then, we set up our drill rig. We drill a "pilot hole" first. This is a small hole that guides the path. Once that is done, we attach a "reamer" to the drill string to widen the hole to the perfect size for your pipe. Finally, we pull the new pipe back through the hole.

It’s a clean, efficient process. When we are done, there is very little restoration work needed compared to traditional trenching. You won’t have to repave your driveway or replant your rose bushes.
