Your Trusted Experts for Drilling Services in Pasadena, CA

Reliable Drilling Solutions for Pasadena Construction

Pasadena, California is renowned for its historic neighborhoods, hillside estates, and bustling commercial corridors. But beneath the surface lies a complex foundation of varied soils, slope challenges, and regulatory considerations that make precision drilling essential for long-term structural stability. At Farr Construction Co., we provide comprehensive drilling services in Pasadena, designed to meet the diverse needs of contractors, property owners, and developers throughout Los Angeles County.

Our team brings over 65 years of field experience to every job, offering thoughtful, efficient, and regulation-compliant drilling solutions. Whether the project calls for geotechnical soil sampling in preparation for a new foundation, or deep pier and caisson drilling to stabilize hillside structures, we understand the demands of Pasadena’s unique terrain and stringent building codes.


Drilling for Foundations, Infrastructure & Geotechnical Requirements

From the foothills of the San Gabriel Mountains to the flat urban zones near Old Town Pasadena, drilling solutions must be tailored to local conditions. Our services begin with geotechnical drilling and soil analysis, critical for informing the design and placement of structural supports.

Once site conditions are assessed, we proceed with caisson and pier drilling to establish a secure, load-bearing base for any construction, especially in hillside locations like Linda Vista and San Rafael Hills.

We also provide trenching and utility boring for water, sewer, electrical, and telecom installations. In older parts of the city where underground utilities may be outdated or require careful mapping, our non-invasive boring techniques minimize disruption while meeting infrastructure upgrade goals.
