Power Lines
Run Power to Any Building Without a Trench
Power to your pole barn, shop, garage, or generator, without a trench cut across your property. We bore the conduit underground; your electrician pulls the wire and makes the connections.
What we install
- Power conduit to outbuildings
- Underground service entrances
- Conduit under driveways and roads
- Generator transfer switch connections
Why not just dig a trench?
A trench means digging up your lawn, backfilling, hauling topsoil, reseeding, and months of waiting for grass to grow back — plus cutting through anything in the path. We bore underneath instead: two small holes, done in a day, and usually right in the same price range once you add up what the trench really costs. And where a deeper trench costs more, a deeper bore doesn't.

How deep does electrical conduit need to be?
Deep enough to meet code, which your electrician will confirm for your setup. Going deeper doesn't raise the price the way it does with a trench, so there's no reason to cut corners on depth.
What does it cost?
A typical 100 ft bore runs about $3,000, done in a day or less. That's usually in the same range as trenching once you add excavation, backfill, and reseeding, minus the months of regrowth.
Do I still need an electrician?
Yes. We install the conduit from your service to the building; your licensed electrician pulls the wire and handles the hookups. We'll coordinate timing with them.

Free estimates, no obligation. We usually schedule within 3 days of MISS DIG marking, and most jobs are done in a day or less. Ground work in Michigan stops when the ground freezes, so if this is on your list for the year, the schedule fills front to back.
