How Greenwood Boring Is Different
Greenwood is a mixed-use service area with three distinct zones. The Uptown Greenwood historic core has the oldest utility infrastructure in the city — mid-20th-century water mains, narrow streets, and the iconic Main Street that no one wants torn up. Lake Greenwood communities — the subdivisions and individual lake homes around Grace Street, Indian Point, and the Mays Ferry area — bring waterfront utility work with steep shorelines, long setbacks, and HOA considerations. Lander University and the surrounding residential area add campus-adjacent residential demand. Out in the county, Ninety Six, Hodges, and Ware Shoals mix small-town residential with agricultural and rural work. Soil is standard Piedmont clay with some sandier pockets near the lake; occasional rock shelf shows up north of the city.
Common Questions About Greenwood Work
Do you bore utilities on Lake Greenwood properties?
Yes. Lake Greenwood is one of our regular service areas. We handle waterfront water service lines, fiber drops, electric service, and the longer setbacks and HOA requirements that come with lake properties around Grace Street, Indian Point, and the broader Lake Greenwood shoreline.
Can you bore in Uptown Greenwood's historic core?
Yes. HDD is the standard method for downtown and Uptown Greenwood because it protects the streetscape, sidewalks, and historic character. We coordinate with City of Greenwood staff on permits and scheduling around events and retail hours.
Do you serve Ninety Six, Hodges, and Ware Shoals?
Yes. The rural and small-town portions of Greenwood County are on our regular route. Longer driveway bores, well-to-house water lines, and rural electric service installations are standard work for our crews across that part of the county.
