"Jonathan and his team were as close to perfection as it gets. It’s obviously that he is a very knowledgeable landscaper with formal education in the industry. His recommendations help bring our vision to life. The project was a difficult one, so I’m glad I found someone competent to perform the job. I highly recommend his services and will definitely use him again."

"I bought my house a few years ago and always planned to redo the front garden. I wasnâ t in a place where I could pull everything up myself so I hired The Brothers to demo my front garden and give me the clean slate to plant my dream garden. Itâ s a small project but one Iâ m glad they handled. They were very communicative and responsive to all my questions. Iâ ll definitely be in touch with other projects I have planned."

"Atlas tree Service did a terrific job digging a French drain, replacing a dead holly tree, and trimming up a large oak tree for me. The drain is working beautifully and the sod looks beautiful. I would recommend them highly."

"We hired William to remove a wood arbor/pergola that was part of the house's original construction. We are extremely pleased with the professionalism, speed, finish work, and communication throughout. William and Camilla were on site to supervise their crew and ensure no detail was overlooked. We can't tell the original structure was ever there. In addition, we were given suggestions regarding other needed maintenance. We will definitely contact this company first for future projects. Very nice people to work with."

"Daniel, the owner, responds so quickly and is great with follow up. He kept me advised when the need came up to change the schedule due to rain. His crew was great too. Cleaned up the work site and the sod was excellent quality. I highly recommend this business."

"Despite heavy rains, Felipe and his team were able to completely renovate a large, hilly backyard space in about ten days.  They worked in the rain, cleaning out the downspouts and installing new drain pipes.  They completely cleared my yard, pulled out the old cement patio and bricks and overgrowth and installed a large stone patio that is beautiful.  I was surprised at how quickly and thoroughly they worked.  While it was a little over the budget that I had planned, there was a lot of labor intensive work, such as creating a stone rimmed flower bed that extended about six feet due to the slope of the yard.  I would highly recommend them if you need a lot of work completed in a short amount of time for a decent price with great stone work!

Customers say: Quality work

"Bigman Bobcat exceeded expectations. Larry was incredibly organized and professional upfront. Quotes and invoices were clear and detailed (big plus for me based on other experiences I've had on home repairs). Larry was flexible when I changed my mind for the type of gravel I wanted and arranged the ordering and delivery for my gravel and sod. Graded the backyard, prepped and laid the sod, laid the gravel. My backyard was covered in kudzu and weeds after years of neglect. Larry and his guys were SO detail oriented and cleared all of it! Great to work with and I highly recommend!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Yes, chipmunk holes may have two or more entrances. Chipmunks can create an entire network of burrows. Having multiple entrances makes it easier for them when trying to escape from a predator, such as a snake, or if an entrance collapses due to flooding. Each entrance leads to the nesting chamber underground, which is where the chipmunk spends the majority of its time sleeping.

Tree experts don’t advise against digging through tree roots, but instead encourage caution and consultation with a local arborist to make sure you don’t damage the tree’s structure or interrupt its water or nutrient intake. An arborist can recommend specific practices when digging and help prune the roots or dig a trench for utilities with a tool that can remove soil without touching the tree’s roots.

Underground downspouts refer to the sections of downspout extensions that lead away from your home and gutter system. While they cost more than traditional extensions, they can provide several benefits, such as less frequent damage and no need to move them for lawn care tasks. Whether they're worth it or not depends on your budget at installation time and how much convenience they'll add to your situation.

In the United States, a depth of 36 inches (three feet) for underground water lines is the accepted industry standard. This depth varies from location to location based on local conditions. In areas with colder winters, they may be buried deeper to prevent frozen well water pipes : This is usually at least six inches below the frost level. The International Plumbing Code calls for a minimum of 12 inches below grade.

Yes, you can excavate in the winter, but it might make the job harder. Frozen ground is harder to dig, and snow or ice can make the work site more hazardous. A contractor may need special equipment and techniques, such as ground-thawing methods, to break through frozen soil. Although winter excavation is possible, it may take longer and be more costly than excavating during warmer months.
