"They did a great job helping me repair water damage in faux wood panel flooring. They also helped repair wood trim. They gave me an accurate and reasonable estimate, showed up as scheduled, and finished the job in a reasonable time. Recommend!"

"We found Super Junk Houston on Home Advisor. I was able to get a quote on the phone within a few hours of reaching out and we were able get on their schedule for the next day. We got a call ahead to make sure we were ready. The crew was prompt on the time they said (thank you!), grabbed everything we needed hauled away, and even swept the garage where we had everything. Looked SO much better when they left. Thank you so much!"

"I recently hired Sam?s for landscaping and couldn?t be happier with the results. From the first consultation, the team was professional, punctual, and clearly knew what they were doing. They listened to exactly what I wanted and offered great suggestions I hadn?t even considered. The work itself was top-notch ? clean, detailed, and finished on schedule. My yard has never looked better, and several neighbors have already asked who did it. Pricing was fair and transparent, with no surprises along the way. I?d highly recommend Sam?s to anyone looking for quality landscaping done right. I?ll definitely be using them again."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

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. 

A joint utility trench, or joint trench, is a long, buried ditch on a property that contains two or more utility lines rather than running the lines in multiple trenches. Some utilities, like gas and electric or electric and communication lines, are better suited to joint trenching, while others, like water and sewer, are not allowed to be in the same trench.

It can take several weeks for the ground to settle after removing a tree, and the soil under larger, more mature trees can take months. The deeper the tree has been ground under the soil, the longer it will take to settle. However, this extra depth can help you plant new landscaping sooner because you’ll have more space for fresh soil.

The best method for digging a trench depends on the scope of the project. For a short, shallow trench (less than 2 feet deep) in light, soft soil, digging by hand may be sufficient. However, digging by hand is labor-intensive, so consider the effort required. A machine trencher is the better option for longer trenches (over 100 feet), deeper ones, or when dealing with difficult soil conditions, such as rocky or hard ground, or obstructions like tree roots. A machine can save significant time and energy in these situations.

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.
