Serving Nassau & Suffolk Counties
Hear from Our Customers
You’ve spent years building the landscaping around your Wainscott property. Mature trees, stone driveways, irrigation systems, patios. The last thing you want is a crew tearing through it to install a water line or run gas service to a pool house.
Trenchless directional drilling in Wainscott means we bore underground to install utilities without disturbing what’s above. No trenches. No restoration costs. No waiting weeks for your yard to look normal again.
The drill goes under your driveway, not through it. Under your garden beds, not around them. You get the utility connection you need, and your property looks exactly the same when we leave. That’s the difference between digging and drilling.
Allied All City has served Nassau and Suffolk Counties for over 40 years. We’re not new to trenchless technology, and we’re not experimenting on your property.
Wainscott homes sit on high-value lots where every detail matters. You’re not looking for the cheapest option. You’re looking for the crew that shows up with the right equipment, finishes the job in a day, and doesn’t leave your driveway cracked or your lawn torn apart.
We run horizontal directional drilling projects across Long Island daily. Residential, commercial, municipal. If it needs to go underground without surface disruption, we’ve done it.
We start with a site assessment. We locate existing utilities, map the path, and determine entry and exit points. This takes maybe an hour, and it prevents surprises later.
Then we drill. A small pilot hole gets bored underground using a steerable drill head. We track it in real time to make sure the path is accurate. Once the pilot hole is complete, we pull the new pipe through behind the drill. Water lines, gas lines, conduit—whatever you’re installing goes in during this pass.
The whole process usually wraps in a day. Sometimes less, depending on distance and soil conditions. When we’re done, you’ve got a new utility line and two small access points that get backfilled and smoothed over. No trenches. No torn-up driveway. No landscape crew needed to fix what we didn’t break.

You’re getting a utility installation method designed for properties where surface preservation matters. In Wainscott, that’s most of them.
Trenchless directional drilling services work for water line installations, gas line extensions, electric conduit, irrigation lines, and fiber optic cable. If you’re adding a pool house, connecting a guest cottage, or running service to an outbuilding, this is how you do it without ripping up established landscaping.
The pipe we install is high-density polyethylene. It’s flexible, durable, and built to last decades underground without leaking or cracking. It doesn’t corrode. Tree roots don’t penetrate it. You’re not going to dig this up again in five years.
Wainscott properties often have mature landscaping and expensive hardscaping. Replacing a brick driveway or re-sodding a lawn costs more than the utility installation itself. Directional drilling eliminates that cost entirely because nothing gets disturbed in the first place.
Yes. That’s exactly what trenchless directional drilling in Wainscott is designed to do.
We bore underneath your driveway using a steerable drill head that runs 4 to 6 feet underground. The drill enters from one side, exits on the other, and pulls the new water line through behind it. Your driveway never gets touched.
This works for asphalt, concrete, pavers, and stone driveways. The process is the same. We create two small access points on either side of the driveway, drill the path underground, install the pipe, and backfill the access holes. The driveway itself stays completely intact. No cracking, no patching, no resurfacing needed.
Most residential jobs finish in one day. Some take a few hours.
The timeline depends on distance, soil conditions, and what we’re installing. A 100-foot water line under a driveway might take half a day. A longer run across a property with multiple obstacles could take a full day.
Compare that to traditional trenching, which involves excavation, pipe installation, backfill, compaction, and surface restoration. That process stretches across multiple days, sometimes weeks if you’re waiting on paving crews or landscape contractors. Horizontal directional drilling in Wainscott cuts that timeline down because there’s no restoration phase. We drill, we install, we’re done.
The drilling itself might cost slightly more upfront. But you save significantly on restoration.
When you dig a trench, you’re paying for excavation, hauling away soil, installing the pipe, backfilling, compacting, and then restoring whatever was on the surface. If that’s a driveway, you’re repaving. If it’s landscaping, you’re re-sodding, replanting, and replacing hardscape. Those costs add up fast.
Trenchless gas line installation in Wainscott eliminates all of that. You pay for the drilling and the pipe. That’s it. No driveway repair. No landscape restoration. No waiting for contractors to fix what got torn up. When you factor in the total project cost, trenchless usually comes out cheaper—and it’s always faster.
Water lines, gas lines, electric conduit, irrigation systems, and fiber optic cable. Basically anything that needs to run underground without surface disruption.
We install water service lines for new construction, pool houses, guest cottages, and property additions. Gas line extensions for outdoor kitchens, fire pits, and backup generators. Electric conduit for outbuildings, landscape lighting, and EV charging stations. Irrigation lines for lawn systems that cross driveways or walkways.
The pipe diameter depends on what you’re installing. Most residential water lines are 1 to 2 inches. Gas lines are similar. Electric conduit varies based on load requirements. We size everything correctly during the planning phase so the installation goes smoothly and meets code.
Yes, but it depends on the specific conditions. We assess soil type during the site visit.
Long Island soil varies. Some areas have sand and loam that drill easily. Others have clay, hardpan, or pockets of rock that require more powerful equipment. We use drill heads designed to handle different soil types, and we adjust our approach based on what we’re working with.
If we hit bedrock or large boulders that make drilling impossible, we’ll tell you upfront. That’s rare, but it happens. In those cases, we discuss alternatives or adjust the path to avoid the obstruction. The site assessment catches most of these issues before we start drilling, so there are no surprises once the project begins.
Typically 4 to 6 feet underground, depending on frost line requirements and local code.
Water lines need to sit below the frost line to prevent freezing during winter. In New York, that’s usually around 4 feet deep. Gas lines have similar depth requirements for safety and code compliance. We drill deep enough to meet those standards while staying clear of existing utilities.
The depth also depends on what’s above ground. If we’re going under a driveway, we drill deeper to ensure the pipe sits well below the base layer. If we’re crossing under a garden bed, we might go slightly shallower. Every project gets mapped out beforehand so the depth is correct for the specific application and location.
