Horizontal Boring FAQs

What is horizontal boring equipment used for?

Little Beaver’s horizontal boring equipment allows operators to bore holes underneath sidewalks and driveways. This facilitates installation of shallow lines for landscape lighting, sprinkler systems, water softeners and similar projects without removing concrete or asphalt.

What are the advantages of compact horizontal boring equipment for small jobs?

With horizontal boring, crews can leave existing driveways and sidewalks intact – minimizing disruption to the overall landscape and speeding up installation and restoration. Little Beaver’s horizontal boring attachments pair with our Mechanical Earth Drill. This setup offers the advantage of versatility – you can use the same drilling equipment for horizontal boring and other landscape hole drilling rather than investing in separate machines.
