T&C Underground does great work. They were proficient, professional, and got the fiber line under my driveway without touching a single flower bed. Cleaned up after themselves and were done before lunch.
Underground utility work done right.
Directional boring, fiber installation, and vacuum excavation across southwest Missouri. Missouri 811 compliant. Restoration included.
Six ways we go underground.
From a single fiber drop to a multi-phase subdivision build.
Directional Boring (HDD)
Conduit and pipe under driveways, roads, and yards — no open trench.
See HDD detailsFiber-Optic Installation
Mainline routes, drops, and subdivision builds. Mule tape pre-installed.
See fiber detailsUtility Plowing & Trenching
Vibratory plow for shallow runs. Open-cut trenching for tie-ins and deeper work.
See plow + trench detailsVacuum Excavation & Potholing
Pressurized water, vacuum truck, clean hole. Know what's there before boring near it.
See vac-ex detailsSkid-Steer Dirt Work
Site prep, backfill, pad prep, spoil hauling. Fits through a 6-foot gate.

Seed, sod, asphalt patch. Built into the bid — not an afterthought.

Reviews from homeowners, developers, and ISP contractors across the 417.
Had them out for some foundation dirt work and a water line. Professional crew, kept us informed the whole time. When they were finished you could barely tell they had been here — the cleanup looked great.
We needed fiber run under the road to a new spec home. T&C had the bore done in half a day. No mess, no drama. The conduit and mule tape were exactly where we needed them for the splice crew. Will use again on the next phase.
Chris and his crew are the real deal. They pulled 811, showed up when they said they would, and bored under a long paved driveway without a single crack. Yard restoration was better than I expected.
Used T&C for vacuum excavation before a road crossing. They daylighted three utilities I didn't even know were in the path. That right there probably saved me a week of delays and a call to the gas company.
Super easy to work with. Quoted the job fast, explained exactly what they were going to do, and did it. Getting internet buried to our outbuilding seemed complicated but they made it simple.
I manage a small subdivision build outside Nixa. T&C handled all the fiber conduit for the whole phase — about 40 lots. Production was steady, paperwork was clean, and they coordinated well with the other trades on-site.
We had a water line that needed to cross under the driveway without tearing it up. They came out, gave an honest bid, did the work in one morning, and the asphalt patch on the end pits was clean. Very satisfied.
Needed skid-steer work on a small property — pad prep and backfill after a retaining wall went in. They were in and out in about four hours, charged exactly what they quoted, and the grade was perfect.
Getting a fiber drop to our rural home was a headache with every other contractor. T&C figured out the bore path, pulled the permit, did the job, and by 3pm we were done. Grass seed on the path, straw over it. Honest people.
Missouri 811 ticket pulled. Every utility marked before we move.
Steerable drill head advances underground. No open trench above.
HDPE conduit pulled back in a single run from exit pit to entry pit.
Seed, straw, or asphalt patch. We don't leave until the site looks right.
The way underground work should be done.
Missouri 811 on every job
We pull the locate ticket at least three working days out on every project. No exceptions.
Restoration in every bid
Seed, sod, and asphalt patch are line items, not afterthoughts. The job isn't done until the site looks right.
Subdivision specialists
Multi-lot fiber buildouts, road crossings, utility coordination with other trades. We work off site plans.
Mediacom subcontractor
ISP production runs, last-mile drops, mainline conduit. Clean paperwork and production sheets on every phase.
Bore vs. open trench.
For most residential and commercial crossings, directional boring wins on every dimension that matters.
Open trench
- Entire surface must be excavated
- Kills grass, landscaping, and pavement
- Traffic disruption for road crossings
- More labor to backfill and compact
- Restoration cost is separate and often higher
- Weather delays during open excavation
Directional bore (what we do)
- Only small entry and exit pits
- Lawn, driveway, and pavement stay intact
- No road closure needed for most crossings
- Single-pass installation under obstacles
- Restoration is fast: backfill two small pits
- Works in wet or frozen ground conditions
