"Juan and his crew replaced a large amount of the sod in my front yard. Both their labor and materials are superior. In all my years of home ownership, as far as contractors go, they rank at the very top in all categories!!! The work they do is high quality, they don't cut any corners. For example, I had sod replaced; and not only did they remove the proper way, with a sod cutter... they even removed extra dirt to ensure they dug far enough down to remove and all the weeds and their seedlings. In addition, they also tilled the areas. When they saw excess water in one area, they didn't just lay the sod over it, they took time to verify whether there was a leak. This included digging several inches in both depth and width on a 106 degree day with a shovel, before laying the sod. Luckily, no leak was found, but they still added drainage rock. My yard had a large sunken area, and they added extra soil to properly grade the slope. Not only did they put fertilizer both under and on top of the new sod, they also put it on the existing sod (that I wasn't replacing). All the while they are doing this work; they continuously kept the yard, sidewalk and street meticulous. After the sod was laid, they edged it. The sod they use is delivered fresh daily from Houston. I have never seen such beautiful new sod. On a 106 degree day, the sod was actually green, and not flat!!! It's almost impossible to see any seams where they laid the sod. They came when they were scheduled, kept me informed when they were on their way, and had great communication during the project. Once the sod was laid and rolled, they had me turn on the sprinkler zones to ensure they were providing good coverage, and also to determine how often and how long the lawn needed to be watered for the first two weeks. They provided me with specific watering instructions, as well as how to care for the lawn in the future. Fantastic company! By the way, this is the first review I have ever taken the time to write."

Small jobs welcome

Customers say: Quick response

"It's hard to find reliable, trustworthy repair people of any kind. Well, I found H&K and the reviews led me to hire them. I cannot stress how impressed I was with Henry's attention to detail, pride in his work and friendliness. He explained what it would take to do the job and the cost. I had to have a bridge cabinet cut down to fit a combination microwave/vent hood over the range. He did this expertly and even helped install the microwave/vent hood. He also had to do some electrical to that same cabinet. Our job also included tile backsplash on two walls. Henry went way above just doing a good job, he went the extra mile to make sure the wife and I were satisfied..................... WITHOUT ASKING or pushing him, like some contractors you run in to. If you need any home repair done, H&K would be one of the first, if not the first, to contact for a bid. I won't bother getting quotes from another. Once I find a good contractor for what I need, I stick with them, and I have their card in my select few of various contractors I trust. Thanks again Henry, and Kristy, you guys are great!!"

Excavating FAQs, answered by experts

Excavations take a few days or up to a few weeks. The time it takes to excavate an area depends on the size of the area, the type of soil, the type of excavator, and even the time of year, since winter can make digging up the ground more difficult.

Prior to excavation, you should prepare the dig site and call 311 before you sign anything.

To get your site ready for excavation, you should move anything in the area that isn’t affixed to the land. You can save money on the excavation by removing hardscaping, including walkways, decks, concrete patios, and paver patios.

Before you carry out any digging, you should call 311 to confirm that there are no utility lines running through your excavation site. Skipping this step could lead to severe injury and property damage if your excavator hits a water, sewage, or gas line.

There are several methods to hollow out a tree stump, and the best one depends on your tools, experience, and priorities. Common methods include using a chisel and hammer, a chainsaw, or burning.

  • Chisel and Hammer: This is often considered the easiest approach for those with limited tools or experience, though it is the most time-consuming.

  • Chainsaw: Using a chainsaw is the fastest method, but it comes with significant safety risks, especially for inexperienced users.

  • Burning: This can be an effective method, but it is not recommended unless you can first drill holes into the stump. Without holes, the stump will be difficult to light and may not burn completely through.

A power drill with at least a ⅜-inch diameter bit can make the job quicker and easier, regardless of the primary method. While you can use a chisel or chainsaw without a drill, it will require more time and effort. Always wear protective goggles and thick gloves, as splinters are an inevitable risk.

Slab foundations are more affordable than crawl spaces because they require minimal excavation, as the slab sits directly on the ground or on footers that only sink a few feet into the ground. Crawl spaces require excavation of the entire footprint of the home to several feet below the surface. Not only does that mean higher labor costs, but more materials are necessary for the concrete foundation walls.

Some two-in-one tools and machines do both jobs, and those could be the right solution for smaller residential projects. However, the phrase “use the right tool for the job” definitely applies to digging. For the best results, get two separate tools for your trenching and landscape edging projects or call a pro to take care of everything for you.
