"I prefer this type of service where a group of people come in, do their job quickly and efficiently, then leave. Lisa has done a great job training each of her crew members to do their own job well. When they leave, my house is like I want it to be. Lisa is very professional and is customer oriented. It is important to her that her crew does a good job and she leads by example. I am pleased with this service."

"Mary Helen and her entire team did an excellent job installing my sprinkler system featuring Irrigreen smart sprinklers. From the quote to the installation, everything exceeded my expectation. Every step of the process was communicated well and with professionalism. Special shout out to Ramiro and Kevin. If you are looking for a quality sprinkler installation, these guys will take good care of your lawn. They even improved my fiber internet installation by carefully digging up the fiber to dig the sprinkler trenches, and then performing a better burying of the fiber at a deeper depth. Thanks Hero’s Lawn Care of Southeast Houston."

"The guys from Heroes worked quickly and completed installing a new irrigation system in my back yard in one day. They were personable and tried to interrupt our daily lives as much as possible. The price was very fair. The guys from Hero’s returned following hurricane Beryl and cleared my backyard of storm debris. They told me they were doing this at no charge for their customers since their regular work was interrupted by the effects of the storm. I highly recommend Hero’s."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

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.

Directional drilling is complex and requires training to use the advanced machinery. It can be challenging to monitor the position of the drill since there’s no direct line of sight. Directional drilling can also be more expensive with a cost of $10 to $30 per linear foot compared to $5 to $12 per linear foot for trenching. 

Trenches are typically 12 to 24 inches deep and 8 inches wide. However, the required depth depends on the specific project and local ordinances. For example, a French drain may need to be 18 inches deep, while a water pipe might require a depth of 24 inches and a drainage pipe 36 inches. Your city or county may have specific regulations, so it's wise to consult with an excavation professional to determine the correct depth for your project.

A trench that is less than 5 feet deep often doesn't require a protective system. Most residential trenches will not go this deep (the typical residential drainage trench is just 18 inches deep). In the event that an excavator needs to dig more than 5 feet beneath the surface, a protective system is required unless the excavation is in entirely stable rock.

Excavation and grading are both generally necessary for designing your foundation, and leveling the ground where your foundation will go. These steps can also prepare the area by removing vegetation and anything else that could interfere with your home’s foundation.
