"My sprinkler system stopped working and Heros had great ratings, so I called and was able to get an appt for that day. The diagnostic cost was only $69 and that fee would go towards the cost of repairs. Ram showed up on time and was so pleasant, polite and professional. He worked diligently and persistenly to diagnose the problem. I was so pleased with his knowledge and could tell quickly that Heros was trustworthy, so I didn't even bother to get more bids. The team that completed the repairs was Ram, Jimmy and Kevin. They did not rush through their work and ensured the system was working properly before leaving. With every communication I got the same person, Karla, and she too pleasant, polite and professional. She sent the quote within 24 hours, called with a reminder the day before the work started and followed up with emails. This is a WINNING company that provides excellent customer service, has knowledgeable and professional employees and very reasonable prices!"

"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

There are several different factors that influence how long it takes to excavate. For a foundation, it could take anywhere from three days to three weeks. It can take even longer if you face weather-related delays or an inaccessible site that’s riddled with boulders and rough terrain. It may also take longer if you have clay soil, which is more difficult to dig.

Most professional excavation teams will charge between $8 and $15 per cubic yard. Calculate the cost by finding the volume of your pool—width x length x depth—and dividing it by 27. Then, multiply the price by the cubic yards from your equation. Budget for complications like a rocky lawn, hard-to-access pool area, or high local labor prices.

Hardscaping often requires preparation of the ground in the area where the feature is being installed. This can include digging, compacting, and leveling the soil, ensuring adequate drainage, and removing any existing plants. The extent of preparation needed will depend on the type and size of the hardscaping feature being installed.

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.

How deep your septic system needs to be into the ground depends on several factors. In extremely cold environments, the tank needs to rest below the maximum frost line, which can be up to six or eight feet deep. The standard burying depth for most systems is between a few inches and four feet below ground level. Depth can also depend on the slope of the landscaping and other property variables.
