Utility Trenching Services in San Marino, CA

Welcome to Directional Boring California. If you are reading this, you probably have a project in mind that involves getting power, water, gas, or data from Point A to Point B. You’ve come to the right place. We are a development and engineering company, and we take great pride in serving our neighbors in San Marino and the greater Los Angeles area.

Living in San Marino is special. The homes are beautiful, the lawns are manicured, and the streets are lined with history. We know that when you need infrastructure work done, you don't want a messy construction site that drags on for weeks. You want precision. You want respect for your property.

That is exactly what we deliver.

What is Utility Trenching?

Simply put, utility trenching is the process of digging a trench to install underground lines. This could be for electrical conduits, water mains, sewer lines, or telecommunications like fiber optic cables.

While we are well-known for our trenchless methods (like directional boring), sometimes traditional trenching is the best or most cost-effective option for a specific job. This is often the case for new construction, installing lines for an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU), or when the surface above the path doesn't need to be preserved (like a dirt backyard before landscaping goes in).

Services We Handle

We cover the entire spectrum of underground work. Here is what we typically tackle for our clients:

• Dry Utilities: Electrical lines, telephone wiring, cable TV, and fiber optics.
• Wet Utilities: Water mains, sewer laterals, storm drains, and gas lines.
• Joint Trenching: Placing multiple utilities (like gas and electric) in the same trench to save time and money.
• Backfilling and Compaction: We don’t just dig; we fill it back up properly so the ground doesn't sink later.

Why Choose Us for Your San Marino Project?

We know there are plenty of contractors out there. But we bring something different to the table.

First, we hold both General A Engineering and General B Contractor licenses in California. This means we understand the "big picture" engineering of your project as well as the general building requirements. We aren't just digging holes; we are engineering solutions.

We are incredibly proud to be a Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise (DVBE). Our background in the military taught us discipline, integrity, and the importance of getting the job done right the first time.

In addition to being a DVBE, we hold several other certifications that demonstrate our commitment to excellence and compliance:

When you hire us, you are supporting a team that values service above all else. We treat your home or job site with the same respect we held for our posts in the service.

Understanding the Costs

One question we always get is, "How much does utility trenching cost?"

Honestly, it varies. Every property in San Marino is unique. However, we believe in being transparent. Here are a few things that will influence the price of your project:

1. Depth and Width: Deep sewer lines require more labor and safety shoring than a shallow electrical conduit.
2. Soil Conditions: San Marino soil is generally decent, but rocky areas or hard clay can slow down digging.
3. Obstructions: navigating around existing pipes, large tree roots, or driveways takes extra care.
4. Restoration: Do we need to repave a section of a driveway or replant grass?
