"Had a backup a few days before and wanted to determine if it was a simple clog or cesspool related. They sent out a tech (Jimmy) the same day. He located both cesspools and walked me through my options. He was honest and patient, answering all my questions along the way."

"????? Amazing service from ZenR Junk Removal! I had junk piled up in my garage from the floor all the way to the ceiling, and ZenR Junk Removal came in and completely transformed the space. They were professional, hardworking, and made the whole process incredibly easy. Now my garage is finally cleared out, and my dogs actually have a clean, comfortable place to sleep because I converted the entire garage into a massive doghouse for them. Seeing the finished space and knowing my pups can enjoy it makes me so happy. I highly recommend ZenR Junk Removal to anyone who needs reliable, efficient, and friendly junk removal service. They truly go above and beyond!"

The Junk in My Trunk crew called us early on the day of the appointment to let us know when they would arrive and to confirm directions.  They showed up when they were expected and cleared out all the unwanted items in the house.  They were cooperative and cordial throughout the process, and cleared out items including mattresses, sofas and couches, and a refrigerator that was in the basement.  They filled every inch of the 12-yard truck and as a result I felt that I got very good value for the price.  I would not hesitate to use this service again or recommend them.

"I couldn’t be happier with my decision to have a pool excavation done in my backyard! From start to finish, the entire process exceeded my expectations. Steven was prompt, professional, and incredibly skilled. Steve and his team took great care to ensure minimal disruption to the surrounding area and completed the project on time. The excavation itself was impressive—everything was done with precision, and the site was left clean and tidy afterward. It’s amazing to see how much more space I have now, and I’m already making plans for how I’ll transform the area. Whether it’s for a new landscape, outdoor seating, or just more room to enjoy my backyard, I feel like the possibilities are endless. If you’re considering pool excavation or any type of excavation job I highly recommend high idle excavation It’s a game changer for your outdoor space, and I’m so glad I took the leap!"

"Jon and his team were true professionals. You could tell they really care about the quality of their work. He was up front and clear about costs throughout the project. His communication was fantastic, frequently texting or calling with updates or questions. Jon was on-site and taking part in the project for the majority of the time. We completely renovated a backyard with an inground pool coping, porcelain pavers, kitchen, stoop and fire pit. Jon provided great advice and exceeded expectations."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Digging a bush up by the roots is the most natural DIY method for removing a bush stump. Start by identifying the shrub type and revealing its roots. Cut the shrub to its base and loosen the soil, ensuring no utility lines are nearby. Optionally, treat the base with herbicide, then dig around the roots and cut a circle around the shrub using various tools. Dig a trench, cut the base of the root ball, and finally fill the hole to prevent regrowth. This thorough process ensures complete removal without damaging surrounding areas.

To drill a shallow well, you may be able to use a drive well point. This is a tapered point that is driven into the ground. A drill bit at the end of PVC pipe may be another option to consider. A lot of the cost depends on what tools are available near you.

There is no standard depth for burying a septic tank; they are typically buried anywhere from 4 inches to 4 feet underground. The final depth depends on several factors, including the depth of your main sewer line, the height of the bedrock, soil type, local regulations, and the property's landscape. If you plan to grow grass or plants over the tank, a depth of at least 4 to 6 inches is recommended. Deeper tanks can be more difficult to locate, but a septic professional can help find it for you.

Call 811 to locate and mark the gas lines at least three days before digging. In many areas, you can dig within 18 inches of the lines, though in some locations, the distance may be further. Check local regulations, as you may need a utility company representative onsite when digging. Document your calls to 811 and precautions taken to avoid gas lines. A homeowner can be held liable for hitting a gas line in some cases, but contacting the proper authorities and following all guidelines can offer protection.

In most areas, you will need a permit for excavation work, even for projects that only involve grading or yard leveling. Permit requirements depend on your local government and the scope of the project, but they are especially common for significant digging or work that could affect utilities or public property. These permits help protect the local topography and prevent drainage issues. An experienced excavation company will typically know whether permits are needed and can often handle the process of pulling and closing them for you. You can also verify permit requirements by contacting your local building department and describing your project.
