"We called Precision excavation in hopes to get our 5 acres cleared and graded before having a new fence put in, Daniel the owner was amazing to work with, he gave us fast responses, came out the next day for a free estimate, and really took care of and listened to what or view was for our yard. He was so informative and let us know exactly what we needed to get our yard looking amazing! Not only did he complete the tasks we were looking for but also helped us drill holes for new fencing to be put in, Thank you so much to Daniel and Precision Excavating for giving our home a new beautiful look and keeping us under our budget on the project we highly value your business and will recommend all to use your services!"

"Our project was large for a residential site. Our backyard slopes down by about 4 feet over a stretch of about 12 feet towards a back fence. This slope extends across the width of the property. We needed a large box/platform built against the back of the property to provide a level area to support a 12' x 16' utility shed. Joshua built the platform using railroad ties on three sides (the forth side was level with the original ground). He secured the ties with rebar into the ground and buried horizontal ties perpendicular to the back wall to secure it and prevent bowing. He filled the box with dirt, compressed it, and topped it with white gravel. He surfaced the outside and top of the railroad ties with screwed-in 2'x6' beams to improve the aesthetics of the box. We also wanted three garden bed boxes built, each 4'x8'x18" high and capped around the top edge with 2x6 beams to provide a place to sit while gardening. Joshua built the boxes off site, them brought them to our backyard to an area roughly 10' x 21' that he leveled for this purpose. He separated this area from our lawn using rounded beams which he put in place using rebar stakes pounded through them into the ground. He brought in a generous amount of pea gravel which he placed around the boxes in the enclosed the area. He filled the boxes with a compost/dirt mix. Positive highlights especially worth mentioning: 1) When the shed platform was complete (but before the garden boxes were finished), the shed was delivered to our property and placed on the platform by workers from the shed company. It was a very tight squeeze getting this large shed on the property, up the backyard grade and placed on the platform. I called Josh and let him know what was happening and he dropped what he was doing to make a special trip out and he helped place the shed on the platform. 2) The equipment used to perform the leveling and build the shed platform was heavy and we had relatively new sod before the work started. The equipment wiped out the lawn and Joshua surprised us with new rolls of sod which he installed when the project was complete. Again, we didn't ask for this nor did he require us to pay for it. 3) I purchased a large water tank and heavy rubber mats to be placed into the shed as wall-to-wall flooring. Joshua didn't hesitate to use his flatbed trailer (and time) to go to Tractor Supply to pick up these purchases for us. He then he used his fork lift to bring these items into the shed. All of which he did without asking for additional compensation, and all with only a moment's notice. We gave Joshua a good tip for his efforts - but he didn't know we were going to do this. His motivation the whole time was to make us happy, and throughout the project he always had a very positive "we're going to make this happen" attitude. Thank you, Joshua, for your hard work and an excellent job."

"I hired Texas Quality Cleaning Services for a move out clean of a 2300sq' house I had rented for 2 years. They provided very efficient cleaning services including cabinets, appliances, floors, walls, window sills, bathrooms, drawer wipe downs, behind and under appliances, windows and so much more. They did an outstanding job and I would definitely hire them again."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Consultation with the local government helps identify necessary permits, avoid project delays or legal issues, and protect project integrity.

If you don’t have a crawl space but have a partial basement you want to make deeper, you can expect to spend a little less—between $40,000 and $90,000 on average. However, if you’re not adding new finished square footage, you won’t see much in the way of ROI.

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.

Your contractor should handle dust control during the project. It's best to speak with your contractor beforehand to check if they plan to cover your furniture, protect your vents, or use fans to redirect dust. Eliminating drywall dust is a particularly large challenge during construction, so always take this into account during your planning phase.

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.
