Hendersonville Bobcat Service For Hire Grading, Gravel and Topsoil Spreading by Mud Monkeys!

Our powerful and speedy T590 Bobcat Track Loader with a full bucket of crusher run.
  • Grading
  • Parking Pads, Shed pads, Parking lots
  • Topsoil and gravel spreading
  • Patio, pool and play set leveling.

We are usually the best choice over similar services for most jobs based on our 20 years of experience alone. The fact we provide both a highly experienced operator and a far superior machine makes us the better choice over renting or over anyone else in the Hendersonville area.

And as far as “saving money” by renting a machine and doing it yourself?

Don’t be fooled by the “out the door price” quoted by a rental yard salesman. It definitely does not encompass the true cost of renting vs. hiring.

Let’s examine the cost of hiring Mud Monkey’s Mighty T 590 vs. renting a tiny under powered wheel machine at Home Depot, Sunbelt and other rental companies:

Typical Home Depot, Sunbelt and other rental yards average total cost to rent a delivered machine for up to 4 hours:

$202 Advertised Rental Fee +

$30 Insurance + (they may disguise this as a “damage waiver”) +

$25 fuel (estimated 2 gallons per hour) +

$130 Delivery Fee (Home Depot posts on their site a a minimum delivery charge of $65 each way) +

$38.50 Sales Tax. You may also be responsible for a substantial cleaning fee.

TOTAL: $425.50 for 4 hours. Plus additional if your location is outside the normal area or they charge you a cleaning fee or if you damage the machine.

But YOU operate it. Got skills?

A FAR SUPERIOR T-590 Track Loader like our Mud Monkey’s machine or equivalent rents from Bobcat of Nashville for $300 or Sunbelt for $335. Once the fuel, transport, insurance and sales tax is added the total is approximately$675- $725.

SAVE with Mud Monkeys!

Mud Monkey’s $525 flat rate for up to 4 hours is a HUGE BARGAIN that INCLUDES:

  • A more powerful machine than Home Depot’s with 2,100 lbs. of lift capacity (R.O. C.) vs. their 1,600 and 66 horsepower vs. their 45.
  • A far heavier machine (8.500 lbs!) than HD’s for more digging leverage
  • A faster machine than HD’s
  • A larger bucket than HD’s
  • Rubber tracks not wheels, for additional digging power and less lawn damage
  • All insurances, delivery, fuel and taxes included, no “surprises at checkout”!
  • A highly skilled operator, huge!
  • Your valuable time freed up to double your productivity! Big, big deal!
  • Rental yard insurance is on the machine only and generally does not cover damage. You retain much liability on the machine and assume all operating liability.
  • We carry both machine and job site liability insurance that places 100% of the liability on us.

Pay less than $100 more yet get double, often triple, the work done!

People who only look at the bottom price ignoring factors like speed, power, efficiency? They rent at Home Depot and are often observed insisting they “saved a lot of money,” bless their hearts.

People who are intelligent enough to run the numbers, apply logic skills and comprehend real value? It’s Mud Monkeys all the way!

  • Cement breaking requires the breaker attachment which is $295 minimum per day if ordered as a package with our loader and operator ($825 package for 4 hours, $1,120 for 6 hours).
  • The breaker attachment is also available for rent at what we believe is the lowest total cost rate in the Nashville area:

$235 +

$35 insurance +

$ 45 delivery

Only $315 Total!! The next cheapest breaker rental our research uncovered in the Nashville area was $345 delivered. Find one cheaper than ours? We’ll match it!

It may make sense to hire a newbie or rent and do-it-yourself for certain types of Bobcat jobs.

If you have less than 200 hours grading with a Bobcat while using a laser level, best to hire us. Otherwise its very likely you will finish, set up the pool, fill it, then then realize

the pool is at risk of collapse. You then must:

Drain, tear the pool down, remove and call us anyway.

Then you get to re-set up and re-fill. No fun. Expensive.

Laser Level precision dig of above ground pools within 2″ of grade.

Final level must be accomplished with sand, screened topsoil or other material.

100s of successful pool leveling jobs completed.

“Wow Do I Love My New Driveway! No More Car Jockeying! Thank You Mud Monkeys!”

Mud D. Monkey

End the Madness!

by roving reporter, Mud D. Monkey

Why people waste time and money for years, moving cars around in their driveways, escapes me.

The very thought reminds me of the movie Groundhog Day… and something about the definition of insanity?

It doesn’t cost that much to add extra parking space.

Just think:

  • No more, “Could you move your car? I need out!”
  • Eliminate the embarrassing, “Oh no, The Kennedy’s just dropped by and had to park in the street!”
  • Say goodbye to, “Metro just fined us again for parking in the grass!”
  • And you do KNOW what your neighbor John and his wife Emily are saying, right? “I thought the (insert your last name here) were pretty smart cookies but just look at them jocking those cars around their driveway again! (Emily laughs heartily).Oh, wouldn’t you love to cut that daily discourse off at the pass?

    In a supposedly civilized society, everyone and I do mean everyone, deserves ample parking, what are we, animals? (Don’t answer that : )

    My Mud Monkey associates can make the bliss of no more car jockeying happen for you, no, not “someday”, NOW!

    Take a look at what we did for Monica:

Shore Erosion? The Rip Rap Solution!

Mud D. Monkey

It doesn’t have to wash away!

by roving reporter, Mud D. Monkey

If you own a waterfront home you probably know all too well the feeling of watching your highly valuable property erode.

It’s kind of like watching your stocks tank in a bear market.

Or my own personal fear: that delightful yellow fruit, rotting away in the banana bowl…egads… perish the thought!

But exactly seventy-seven years after the Japanese devastated Pearl Harbor, it was so good to witness something positive on an American shoreline: the Veteran owned and operated Mud Monkeys. halting a serious water erosion issue for one Ashland City homeowner.

The weapon of choice? Forget the machine guns and P-51 Mustangs, this was rip rap, six to twelve inch stone, loaded into a tri-axle and placed using Mud Monkey’s Bobcat track machine.

I’ve seen these jobs botched before, they are extremely difficult to fix by hand due to the irregular shape and weight of the stone. But Mud Monkey’s highly skilled, experienced Bobcat operator made short work of it,

Tawnya, the Mud Monkeys’ customer, agreed it was expertly accomplished and expressed her pleasure with the work, knowing the serious erosion problem had been halted for good. “You did an excellent job, I’m very happy!,” she exclaimed.

And no wonder:

While there is always damage when running a Bobcat on lawn, it doesn’t usually tear out roots so the grass will come back. Smoothing it up, though is critical and, as you can see, even working in mud, Mud Monkey’s operator is second to none in that regard.

If you have an erosion problems contact Mud Monkeys today for a quote on having rip-rap installed.

It’s not a cheap job for sure but a lot less expensive than losing feet of your valuable shoreline!

It works on eroding drainage ditches as well.

And that’s the way it was, December 7th, 2018, roving reporter Mud. D. Monkey signing off.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

5-24-18 Goodlettsville TN Bobcat Pavillion Excavation


by Mud. D. Monkey

Yesterday, I had the distinct pleasure of reporting on this light excavation job on Shell Road in Goodlettsville, TN, a portion of that fine city located in Sumner County.

Mud Monkey’s customer, Steve, decided he wanted to erect a small pavilion between his pool pump house and pool but was not at all wanting to pay the $18.000 a local construction company bid to remove the hill of dirt in the way.

“There will almost surely be huge rocks in there we’ll have to use blasting caps on…it could take weeks,” they explained, “just sign on this dotted line.”

Paying $18K wasn’t an option, instead, Steve remembered Mud Monkey’s operator due to other tasks he’d had done in the past and called.

Good decision.

Our operator got to work. Slightly over 5 hours later, done! And he performed a wee bit of additional work too!

“This is exactly how I envisioned it turning out,” exclaimed Steve!

Certainly today’s job was an extreme case but we routinely save our customers several thousand dollars, most typically by beating our competition’s $5,000 minimum on excavation and knocking out the job in under one day for a whole lot less bananas! (Note that personally I’m no fan of less bananas but I can understand Steve being excited about it.)

As usual, huge savings, the job exceeding expectations, smiles all around, we left the site knowing Mud Monkeys had satisfied yet another customer.

And that’s the way it was on May 23rd, 2018, Mud D. Monkey signing off!

5-15-18 Pool Dig!


by Mud. D. Monkey

Yesterday I had the good fortune of reporting on this pool excavation just off Gallatin Pike in Nashville.

Mud Monkey’s customer, Tricia, had purchased an 18 foot round Intex pool and promptly discovered digging with a shovel was too much for her…two scoops after starting…maybe?

Intelligent decision! We ended up filling half her yard with debris from the hole.

“Wow, this is a lot more dirt coming out than I had figured on!” she exclaimed more than once. A rock also came out that was so large even our somewhat muscular operator couldn’t budge it by hand!

If a pool isn’t level enough it can collapse, not a good thing.

Tricia had traced an eighteen foot circle, so our operator dug that out first. Dig, measure and laser to check level, he repeated those steps many times until the specified area was “correct and within tolerance.”

While I snacked on a few beetles that had crawled out of the hole, our operator did some side scoop work to enlarge the circle and chamfer the sides so a wall wouldn’t be necessary.

(I am not without manners by the way. But when I offered Tricia an exceptionally fat, juicy and lively beetle, for some inexplicable reason, she politely refused. Her loss, my gain : )

Finally, the Mud Monkeys operator smoothed out the dirt spoils so they incorporated nicely into Tricia’s landscape with only minimal hand work remaining.

“Could you move that big rock and place it by the shed on your way out?” asked Tricia.

Done!

Job time was approx. 4 hours, Tricia paid at the discount coupon rate for a pool leveling job, truly a bargain, smiles all around as our operator left to do his next job of the day!

And that’s the way it was on May 15th, 2018, Mud D. Monkey signing off!

Culvert Installation in Davidson County, Nashville.

By Roving reporter, Mud D. Monkey

I was right in the middle of a perfectly ricky roo day when the boss lit up my Monkey Phone:

“That culvert installation story on Old Hickory Boulevard is breaking now and you need to cover it,” the vexatious old Orangutan practically screamed in my left ear.

“It’s a Mud Monkey customer needing their driveway extended ten feet to the right side for easier entrance to the property, this is absolutely huge!” he added.

I shook my head slightly in mock defiance, debating whether to rebel for real, but quickly decided to cover the assignment anyway, I am in pursuit of the Excellence in Journalism Award, you know.

Upon arriving, I witnessed a chaotic scene. The Mud Monkeys’ Bobcat Man was gingerly lifting an 1,800 lb. 10 foot long concrete culvert from a funky little homemade trailer the customer had picked it up in herself after purchase.

Dave the Mud Monkeys driver was struggling to guide the lift chains, the machine making that annoying beeping noise as it was backing up.

And the customer, Becky, obviously terrified her life changing concrete culvert was going to drop and break, was yelling, “Through God all things are possible!” ….just pure chaos.

Within thirty seconds of arrival I assumed full lotus position just to calm my nerves.

And stayed there.

Except for when I took these hopefully self-explanatory pics of the awesome job the Mud Monkeys guys did:

And that’s the way it was, September 18th, 2018, roving reporter Mud D. Monkey signing off.

Do nominate me for The Excellence in Journalism Award here

By the way, Mud Monkeys does sell, deliver and install culverts to replace old, collapsing ones or to extend what you have to achieve additional swing room entering. And Mud Monkeys is:
