What Makes Boring in Smyrna Different

Skip the stock lines. Smyrna’s Piedmont clay-over-granite and dense infill utilities are what drive the work — here is what matters.

Battery-Adjacent Boom

Smyrna borders the Braves' Battery district — hotels, offices and infill going up fast, with bore crews working as subs under live streets and finished streetscapes.

Red Clay Over Granite

Smyrna runs on Piedmont clay over granite inside the Atlanta perimeter's edge. Clay bores well; the rock and dense infill utilities are why we locate and sound the path before drilling.

Teardown-and-Rebuild Blocks

Smyrna's older neighborhoods are rebuilding lot by lot — every new build wants upgraded services brought under existing curbs and drives.

Permits & Locates Are Not Optional

City of Smyrna for city right-of-way, Cobb County for county roads, and GDOT for the US-41/Cobb Parkway and I-285 edges. Georgia 811 locates are free and required by law before digging — we file the ticket and run our own GPR sweep on top of it.

How a Bore Actually Works

Six steps, in the order they happen on site.

1. Locate First

811 ticket plus our own GPR sweep — utilities marked before anything spins.

2. Plan the Path

Entry and exit pits, depth, and clearance from what is already down there.

3. Pilot Bore

A steerable head, tracked from the surface, corrected as it advances.

4. Ream

The pilot hole is enlarged to the diameter the product pipe needs.

5. Pullback

Conduit or pipe is pulled through in one continuous run.

6. Restore

Pits backfilled and compacted, surface restored — two pits, not an open cut across the site.

Who Is Actually Doing the Work

Boring Bros is run by brothers Aaron and Levi Cohen — you will usually be talking to an owner, not a call centre. Every crew on your job is a licensed, insured contractor (Boring Bros LLC, Florida Doc. L21000515203; certificate of insurance on request).

For Contractors & Builders

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes – most of our Smyrna volume is subcontract work for generator installers, electrical and low-voltage contractors, and general contractors. We provide our certificate of insurance and licensing up front, coordinate with your PM on scheduling, and the bore shows up when the rest of your job needs it to.

Footage and product (pipe or conduit type and diameter), entry and exit constraints, and any utility prints or a site plan if you have them. With that we can usually turn a real number around the same day. No prints? Send the address and what you are installing and we will locate first.

In the public right-of-way, generally yes – City of Smyrna for city right-of-way, Cobb County for county roads, and GDOT for the US-41/Cobb Parkway and I-285 edges. We can pull the permit or work under yours, and work entirely on private property often needs none. We will tell you which applies.

Cost is driven by footage, diameter, depth, soil or rock, and site access – not a flat per-foot number anyone can honestly quote sight-unseen. We are set up to be the affordable option, and contractors who send plans and footage typically get a same-day number. Quotes are free.

We run multiple crews, so a small shot and a larger commercial run can happen in the same week. Typical residential-scale bores are done in a day; road crossings and long runs are scheduled around permitting, which is usually the long pole – not the drilling.

Always. Georgia 811 is free and required by state law at least two full business days before digging. We pull the ticket and still run our own GPR sweep on top of it.
