FAqs


  • Can you bore underneath my driveway or road without tearing it up?

    Yes. Directional boring and standard boring let us route pathways beneath driveways, roads, and hardscapes while leaving the surface intact. This protects your existing improvements and avoids the cost and mess of cutting and repairing pavement.

  • Do you handle utility locating before you dig or bore?

    We coordinate with utility locating so existing underground lines are marked before we begin. Identifying what is already in the ground is essential for safe digging, trenching, and boring, and it helps us avoid striking existing utilities.

  • What types of utilities can your trenches and bores accommodate?

    Our trenches and bores are prepared to accommodate a range of utilities, including water, sewer, electrical, gas conduit, and communication lines. We shape each pathway to the requirements of the specific utility being installed.

  • Can you prepare the trenching for an EV charger installation in Whitsett, North Carolina?

    Yes. For electric vehicle chargers, we handle the trenching and conduit pathway that runs from your electrical panel location to the charging point. Your electrician then completes the wiring and final hookup once our groundwork is in place.

  • What does site preparation typically include?

    Site preparation can involve clearing, grubbing, rough grading, and shaping the ground to create a stable, well-drained base. We tailor the work to your plans so the site is ready for construction or utility installation to begin.

  • How do you handle brush cutting on heavily overgrown property?

    We use heavy-duty brush cutting and bush hogging equipment to clear thick brush, saplings, tall grass, and neglected growth. This reclaims overgrown lots, fence lines, and access paths, opening the land so further site work can proceed.

  • Can Lighthouse Underground 2 work around existing underground infrastructure on my property?

    Yes. Our operators read each site carefully and work around existing pipes, cables, and structures. Combined with proper utility locating, this lets us excavate, trench, and bore accurately without disturbing what is already in the ground.

  • Do you take on both residential and commercial projects?

    We do. Our crew handles everything from a single residential trench to large-scale commercial site work. The same standards for precision, safety, and clean results apply no matter the size of the job.

  • How do you manage grade and drainage during excavation?

    We manage cut, fill, and grade with care so water moves the way it should. Proper grading and drainage during excavation protect the finished site and help prevent pooling, erosion, and other issues down the line.

  • What ground conditions are best suited to plowing versus boring?

    Plowing works best in open, workable soil without heavy rock or obstructions. Boring is the right call when you need to cross beneath a hard surface or obstacle. We assess your ground conditions and recommend the most efficient method.

  • Can you dig footings and foundation excavations?

    Yes. We handle digging for footings, foundations, drainage, and utility pits. Our operators excavate to the dimensions your project requires and keep the surrounding area clean and ready for the next phase of construction.

  • Does Lighthouse Underground 2 provide the conduit and materials, or do I supply them?

    Material arrangements vary by project. We can discuss whether we supply conduit and related materials or install what you provide. Clarifying this up front keeps the project organized and avoids delays once work begins.

  • How do you minimize surface damage during utility installation?

    We choose the least disruptive method for each situation, favoring boring and plowing where they fit and controlling our trenching carefully where open digging is needed. This approach protects your landscaping, pavement, and existing improvements as much as possible.

  • Will the ground be ready for the utility provider once your work is done?

    Yes. Our goal is to leave clean, accurate, correctly graded pathways and prepared ground so the utility provider or installer can lay and connect lines without extra rework. Solid groundwork keeps the whole project on schedule.

  • What should I have ready before your crew arrives for a project?

    It helps to have your project plans, any permit information, and a clear idea of where utilities need to run. Access to the work area and completed utility locating also allow us to start trenching, boring, or site prep efficiently.
