"Very sloppy work. The asphalt started breaking up within 6 months. After about another 8 ;months later they did come back and put in more asphalt but didn't dig out the old material to do a good professional job. Within another 3 months the asphalt started breaking up again and they refuse to come back and correct their very unprofessional work. The owners kid also started cussing at me like he actually knew what he was doing. These people do not know how to apply asphalt. They are truly fly by nighters.."

"Best Tex Plumbing was sent to our home by our home warranty company. They told us we needed new pipes under our home because our pipes were old and would have problems due to their age. On August 5th Best Tex Plumbing “replaced” our pipes under our home for $2000.00. They did not pull a permit and did not give us a receipt from their company. I suppose they do this to limit their liability with no paper trail. Here we are three months later. We had a stoppage at the washer. The home warranty company sent another company out who said all the plumbing was installed incorrectly and did not have the appropriate parts for pipes under a home. I called another plumbing company out for a second opinion. They agreed that the plumbing installation was wrong. Now we need new plumbing again. Please do your self a favor and do not do business with Best Tex plumbing. They talk a good game and reassure you they work with integrity. This could not be further from the truth! If I could give them a ZERO, I would."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

The average cost for pool excavation is $2,500. This cost can range from $450 to $4,500, depending on the pool shape and size, time of year, and any need to move buried utilities. 

When excavating for your pool, you might have to move existing utilities. You can expect to pay an additional $15 to $25 per linear foot to move gas lines. To move a septic system, it’ll cost an additional $2,000 to $20,000. A pool that is 10 feet by 12 feet averages $450 to excavate, and a 20-foot-by-40-foot pool averages $3,020.

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).

Yes, you can install a trench drain if you already have concrete in your yard or garden. While it can complicate some aspects of the job and slightly run up the cost, it is doable. Residential trench drains can be easily retrofitted to outdoor areas with concrete without having to remove excessive amounts of your patio, pool area, or decorative walkways.

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.

The depth of a septic tank’s drain lines is between 18 and 36 inches underground. These pipes are filled with perforations and surrounded by sand, gravel, or a combination of both, as both materials help filter wastewater. While some pipes are buried closer to the surface, this can create problems unless the soil is compact and doesn’t shift much.
