"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

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.

Concrete blocks are the cheapest way to base a shed. However, the space in between allows critters to go under, burrow, and even damage your shed’s frame. For a more pest-proof option, consider building a shed base with gravel or paver stones. Both options are fairly affordable and easy enough for a DIY project. For gravel, you can build a wooden frame to contain the loose material.

The best way to protect tree roots is to avoid the roots entirely by excavating outside the root radius of the tree. For nearby projects, it’s a good idea to construct a temporary retaining wall. But that’s not always possible, depending on the project and the root system. In these cases, consider using alternative equipment like an auger to tunnel under the ground.

Remember, tree roots can damage nearby cement foundations as they grow. If a tree is close enough to interfere with large excavations, it may be better to remove the tree than risk future problems.

To locate an underground downspout, you should start by identifying where the above ground gutter drains. Look for an entry point, such as a pipe or elbow leading into the ground. Follow the surface path for signs like depressions, landscaping disruptions, or wet areas after rain. You can use a metal detector or plumber’s snake to trace the pipe underground. For deeper pipes, a professional locator tool or camera inspection may be necessary. Visual markers or utility maps can also guide the search.

Depth is not a qualifying component of evacuation. Any human-made cut, cavity, or depression in the earth’s surface is considered excavation. The hole from excavation can be any size, shape, or depth. Excavation is used to create foundations, reservoirs, drainage ditches, and roads. Long, narrow excavations are called trenches and are often used for underground utilities.
