"I recently hired Precision Excavating for a project and couldn't be more satisfied with their service. From start to finish, Daniel the owner and operator demonstrated professionalism, expertise, and a commitment to quality. Daniel arrived on time, completed the work efficiently, and ensured the site was clean and safe. His attention to detail and ability to handle unexpected challenges was impressive. Communication was clear throughout the process, and the final results exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend Precision Excavating for any excavation and land clearing needs!! Thanks Daniel!"

"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

Downspouts should be buried at least 5 to 10 feet away from your foundation. This can vary depending on your local building codes, soil type, and property slope. The main goal is to ensure water is directed away from your foundation.

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. 

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.

Sewer lines can be buried anywhere from 18 inches to 8 feet deep, with a common average depth between 18 and 30 inches. The exact depth depends on local factors like climate and soil type. In colder regions, pipes must be buried deeper (below the frost line) to prevent freezing, sometimes as deep as 8 feet. The digging depth can also impact the cost of sewer line replacement. To find the specific depth for your property, you can check the building plans for your system, which should be on file with your city or local sanitation department since permits are required for installation.

Trenchers can dig holes as narrow as 4 inches or as wide as 4 feet. Check the specifications of the trencher you rent or buy to determine how wide it will cut into the landscape. Better yet, let the excavation company know how wide you’d like the trench to be, and they can help you choose the right trencher for the job (or do it for you).
