"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."

Customers say: Quick response

"Project: Interior paint and stain. Henry did some painting, cabinet repair, and cabinet staining for me. He was always punctual, and there every day. The project took 5 days. I especially loved the stain on the cabinets. Toward the end of the project my husband got sick and head to go into hospital. While I was with my husband, Henry finished the project. I was told when I came back, there was a surprise for me. Henry had painted a room I had planned to paint myself. This was a welcome surprise! All who were going to help me with this room were senior citizens, just like me. This was just wonderful, and all our joints thank him! I would highly recommend Henry as he seems to be knowledgeable about everything. His wife Christy keeps things running smoothly from the business end, and always lets you know where the project is at time wise."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Trenching and boring are two distinct methods for installing underground utilities. Trenching involves digging a channel using equipment like an excavator, trencher, backhoe, or shovel. While it is a simpler process, it causes significant disruption to the surface, landscaping, and surrounding ecosystems.

Boring, also known as directional boring, is a less invasive alternative that uses a drill to create a tunnel for utility lines without disturbing the surface. This method is more precise and is ideal for installations that need to go underneath buildings, roads, or bodies of water. Although boring is less disruptive, it is generally more expensive than trenching.

Hardscaping often requires preparation of the ground in the area where the feature is being installed. This can include digging, compacting, and leveling the soil, ensuring adequate drainage, and removing any existing plants. The extent of preparation needed will depend on the type and size of the hardscaping feature being installed.

Water lines are buried at various depths, depending on the type of line. For example, most sprinkler lines are buried between four and 12 inches underground. On the other hand, water mains usually sit between one and 3 feet below ground. However, they can go even deeper in cold climates to prevent freezing.

A perc test can take anywhere from one to eight hours to complete. The total time depends on factors like the amount of excavation required, the depth and width of the holes, and whether multiple test holes are needed. For a single hole, the process of filling it with water and monitoring the drainage rate usually takes less than an hour. Professionals can often complete the entire test in a single day. While it's possible to get results the same day, some companies may take a few days to provide the official report.

How deep your septic system needs to be into the ground depends on several factors. In extremely cold environments, the tank needs to rest below the maximum frost line, which can be up to six or eight feet deep. The standard burying depth for most systems is between a few inches and four feet below ground level. Depth can also depend on the slope of the landscaping and other property variables.
