Services
Directional Drilling
Directional drilling installs utilities like fiber optics and water mains with minimal environmental disruption. This method safely navigates under highways, rivers, and urban areas, reducing surface damage. Clients benefit from cost-efficient, precise installations that maintain site integrity while meeting project deadlines.
Hydrovac Excavation
Hydrovac excavation uses high-pressure water and vacuum systems for precise utility daylighting and site cleanup. Our Vactor and Vermeer units handle congested areas and frozen ground with Hotsy burners. This non-destructive method ensures safe exposure of underground utilities while maintaining winter productivity.
Irrigation Systems
We design and install commercial and residential irrigation systems, including golf courses and sports fields. Our HDPE pipe fusion capabilities enable durable, efficient water distribution. Services range from residential repairs to large-scale course installations, ensuring optimal water management and landscape health.
Drainage Solutions
Our drainage solutions address water management challenges for golf courses, cemeteries, and sports fields. Recent projects include Thunder Bay Country Club and Chapples Golf Course. We implement systems that prevent waterlogging, enhance turf quality, and comply with environmental standards for long-term performance.

We had Staal Irrigation install our in-ground sprinkler system this past summer. Not only were they efficient, they were friendly and always willing to answer any questions that we may have had. They willingly coordinated with our landscapers to make sure that everything came together as we envisioned. Our property and sod were left in pristine condition after every visit and adjustment. A special thank you to Hayden for his prompt replies to our numerous inquiries and making time in his busy schedule to always stop by our property to make any adjustments to the system heads, as needed.

Just throw some dirt on top of the rocks & hide them. You guys are genius. They dug holes in people's driveway and never fix them. These guys left a big mess in the yard. From softball size rocks to empty coffee cups. People are not responsible to clean up your mess. Clean up your mess & garbage after you're done. Those rocks weren't there when you started digging?! They can't even install the box straight.
Incompetent & irresponsible.
