"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

Preparation involves site assessment, clearing debris, grading surfaces, and compacting soil to support stable construction.

The average cost of excavation is approximately $3,200, with typical projects ranging from $500 to $15,000. Depending on the contractor, you may be charged between $50 and $200 per cubic yard or an hourly rate of $40 to $180 for an excavation specialist. The total cost is influenced by several factors, including the project size, the amount of soil to be removed, and the soil's condition. Hard soil, tree roots, or excessive rocks and clay can increase the price, potentially adding $200 to $1,200 to the final bill. Other factors that can drive up costs include the presence of nearby structures that complicate the work or tight spaces that require manual excavation instead of heavy machinery.

Slab foundations are more affordable than crawl spaces because they require minimal excavation, as the slab sits directly on the ground or on footers that only sink a few feet into the ground. Crawl spaces require excavation of the entire footprint of the home to several feet below the surface. Not only does that mean higher labor costs, but more materials are necessary for the concrete foundation walls.

It’s possible to transplant trees as tall as 50 feet when an experienced tree planting service uses the right equipment. However, a tree with a trunk larger than two or three inches in diameter needs to be handled by a professional in order to yield successful transplanting results. Consulting a tree planting professional is the best way to tell if your large tree can be safely transplanted.

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.
