Trash N Dash is Greater Houston’s friendliest and best priced junk removal service. We offer attic & garage clean outs, hot tub removals, and light demolition of storage sheds, decks and fences. As leading Junk Removal professionals in the industry we offer free estimates, upfront pricing and some of the lowest minimums in town. Our service area currently includes Houston and its surrounding suburbs including but not limited to Baytown, Bellaire, Conroe, Deer Park, Friendswood, Galena Park, Highlands, Humble, Jacinto City, Katy, League City, Missouri City, Pasadena, Pearland, Porter, Spring, Stafford, The Woodlands, Kingwood, Atascocita, Seabrook, Cypress, Sugarland and Alief. If your area was not mentioned, please feel free to gives a call! WE ARE INSURED. We are also accredited by the BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU and hold an A rating. Please feel free to check out our reviews anywhere on the web, they' re great! At Trash N Dash we don’t just talk trash we back it up with the best possible service to all of our customers. Our goal is to ensure that every customer is more than satisfied with our service so that they will always think of Trash N Dash in the future.

"Do not use this service!!! We hired them to remove a desk and two bookshelves when we were moving out of our apartment. When we went into the backyard for a moment to grab something, we returned in the house to find they had thrown out four antique chairs belonging to our landlord which they were explicitly told not to take. On top of that, they broke the chairs immediately to throw in the truck so they were completely unsalvageable. When we talked to the managers about it, their stated policy is that they will only reimburse items they destroy by mistake if you are standing there watching them do it, you tell them not to destroy the item, and they refuse to stop. They also insisted we were lying about telling them to not take the chairs, and because Trash N Dash does not give you any paperwork or contract we apparently have no recourse. Not only are we now being charged hundreds of dollars for these antique chairs by our landlord but Trash N Dash left broken glass and sharp screws in our driveway when they left that we had to clean up. Ultimately, Trash N Dash is extremely unprofessional and has cost us a lot of money."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

A walk-behind trencher can cut through roots as long as they’re not too thick, making a project much easier than digging with a shovel and other hand tools. Assess your terrain and the number of trees in the surrounding area to determine if a walk-behind trencher will ease the job. Digging a trench by hand is much more time-consuming and labor-intensive. 

The digging depth will depend on the size of the trencher you use. Even smaller units can dig up to 4 feet deep, which is plenty for a DIY job. However, much larger trenchers can reach a depth of 18 feet and are better used by a team of pro contractors, not a single DIYer. As with all home improvement projects, use the right tool for the job and proceed with caution.

It takes two to three hours to trench 100 feet with a mechanical trencher or 10 to 12 hours if digging with a shovel. The total time to dig a trench depends on the depth, width, soil type, terrain, trencher type, and your level of experience. Digging in clay or rocky soil takes longer than soft ground.  

Most residential basements are 8 to 10 feet deep. You can dig deeper depending on building codes, but it does become more difficult. You’ll likely need to install stronger foundation walls and additional supports to handle the increased load. Depending on the water table, you may also need a water management system. Clay soil can support a deeper foundation than sandy soil. A structural engineer will be able to tell you the maximum, feasible depth.

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.
