"Big Cat went above and beyond. My family has used them at multiple properties we have. Easy to communicate with, and delivered on the work we had talked about. Heâ s typically willing to travel! One of our properties was hours away and he pulled his camper on site and worked around the clock. I would recommend Big Cat for any kind of land work. You wonâ t be disappointed with his attention to detail and quality of work."

"Very well. Clint was very professional and helpful. We originally had a different septic company out who could not locate the septic tank and still charged us. Clint came in and found the septic tan uk, checked it for us, followed up and did not charge an arm and a leg. I refer him to all of my clients now."

"This company is fantastic! Highly Recommend!! Joseph (the owner) is very easy to work with, first of all! I hired his company earlier this year to redo my entire back yard and turn it into and outdoor paradise! He was able to create an impressive, detailed 3D model on the computer of exactly what I wanted and he and his team executed it perfectly! He was able to work in conjunction with a contractor I hired to put an in ground pool in and it was seamless! Rain was an issue during our project but thatâ  s how it goes sometimes.. Greennecks was able to come in and take care of the entirety of the project in an orderly, timely manner. Their work is very neat, his workers are highly professional. I will be using them again in the future!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

If you’re planning to dig on your property, you’ll need to check for underground utility lines. Call the national call-before-you-dig 811 number. Once connected to an operator, you can schedule a site visit to mark underground lines. This way, you won’t accidentally dig into pipes and can cause major (read: costly) issues.

Directional drilling is complex and requires training to use the advanced machinery. It can be challenging to monitor the position of the drill since there’s no direct line of sight. Directional drilling can also be more expensive with a cost of $10 to $30 per linear foot compared to $5 to $12 per linear foot for trenching. 

If you have a broken sprinkler pipe underground, there will be some signs you can easily spot to locate it and take action. These include leaks, water spouts, flooding, consistently damp areas on your lawn, low water pressure, and grass around the sprinkler head that’s taller and darker than anywhere else in the yard. 

If there are no obvious signs of a broken pipe, you can use tools such as water leak mics, leak noise loggers, audio devices that record leaks, and acoustic testing links. 

Broken pipes can lead to uneven watering, plant damage, and higher utility bills. The longer you wait to fix them the more the repair cost may be.

We recommend removing the stump, and grinding is a popular way to do it. You can also dig out small stumps or stumps that have fully decayed instead of grinding them. However, don’t try using acids or fire for killing a tree stump, which is a fire hazard and illegal in many areas.

Leaving the stump alone invites eventual problems, including attracting termites, mold, and fungi.

There are many ways to cut through roots when digging, especially if your trencher doesn’t seem to be removing the roots. First, use a shovel to expose the roots. Then, use gardening shears to clear out smaller roots or a reciprocating saw to remove larger plant roots. If you plan on keeping the plant, avoid cutting any roots over 2 inches thick.
