Expert Directional Drilling Services in Lynwood, California

Welcome to Directional Boring California. If you are looking for a way to install underground utilities without tearing up your property, you have come to the right place. We specialize in Directional Drilling right here in Lynwood and the greater Los Angeles area.

We know that construction projects can be stressful. Seeing a trench dug across a beautiful driveway or a busy street is never fun. It creates a mess, disrupts traffic, and takes a long time to fix. That is why we love what we do. We offer a cleaner, faster alternative.

What is Directional Drilling?

You might hear people call it Horizontal Directional Drilling or HDD for short. It sounds technical, but the concept is actually pretty simple. Instead of digging a trench from the top down, we drill a tunnel sideways underground.

Imagine you need to run a water line under a sidewalk. In the old days, you had to break the concrete, dig a ditch, lay the pipe, fill the ditch, and pour new concrete. It was a lot of work.

With our method, we set up a drilling rig on one side. We drill a small pilot hole under the sidewalk to the other side. Then, we pull the pipe back through that hole. The sidewalk stays perfect. The grass stays green. It really is the best way to handle utility installation in a crowded city like Lynwood.

Why Work With Directional Boring California?

Choosing a contractor is a big decision. You need someone you can trust to show up and do the job right. We are a development and engineering company, and we hold both General A Engineering Contractor and General B Contractor licenses in California. This means we understand the big picture of your project, not just the drilling part.

We are also very proud of our background. We are a Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise (DVBE).

For us, this isn't just a label. It represents discipline, integrity, and a commitment to service. When you hire us, you are supporting a veteran-owned business that cares about the community.

In addition to being a DVBE, we hold several other certifications that demonstrate our reliability and standing in the business community:
SDVOSB (Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business)
PDBE (Port of Long Beach/LA Disadvantaged Business Enterprise)
SB-Micro (Small Business Micro)
SB-PW (Small Business Public Works)

These certifications often help our commercial and municipal clients meet specific diversity goals for their projects. But more importantly, they are a sign that we run a tight ship.

Understanding the Costs

One question we get all the time is, "How much does it cost?"

We believe in being upfront. The truth is, the price varies based on a few things. We don't like to give "ballpark" guesses because every job site in Los Angeles is different.

Here are the factors we look at:
1. Soil Conditions: Drilling through soft dirt is easier than drilling through solid rock.
2. Distance and Diameter: Longer bores and wider pipes take more time and resources.
3. Location: Working in a tight alley in Lynwood might require different setup time than an open field.
4. Existing Utilities: We have to navigate around pipes that are already in the ground. This requires careful planning and safety measures.

However, when you compare the cost of Directional Drilling against the cost of trenching—plus the cost of repairing the asphalt, concrete, and landscaping—drilling is often the smarter financial choice.
