"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."

"I needed a major clean up in the area surrounding my house: overgrown weeds, young trees, vines all needed removal and Perez earths capes did a fabulous job! Cleaned all out and added dirt and mulch to flower bed areas. Hardworking crew. Good clear communication and pricing congruent with competitors estimates. Highly Recommend!"

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

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.

Yes, you can technically make a crawl space liveable, but the only way to do so is by converting it into a basement. While some crawl spaces are big enough to walk through and store large items, they lack appropriate insulation and space to be liveable.

A walk-behind trencher can cut through roots as long as they’re not too thick, making a project much easier than digging with a shovel and other hand tools. Assess your terrain and the number of trees in the surrounding area to determine if a walk-behind trencher will ease the job. Digging a trench by hand is much more time-consuming and labor-intensive. 

You can dig 60 to 80 linear feet by hand per day depending on the depth. Digging a 100-foot trench by hand will take you two work days, but it can take longer if you have heavy or rocky soil. If you’re digging a deep trench or one that’s over 100 feet, consider renting a mechanical trencher, such as a walk-behind or ride-on, or calling a pro for help. 

Preparation involves site assessment, clearing debris, grading surfaces, and compacting soil to support stable construction.
