"Five stars for Apex Site Works. They just finished resurfacing our driveway with gravel and fixed our sloping issues. The work is top-notch, and they even brought in extra material to make sure the job was done right. Great communication and followed through on every detail until the project was complete. Professional, punctual, and went the extra mile. Highly recommend!""

"Colby was a pleasure to work with, he is friendly, he takes a lot of pride in his work, and very detailed oriented. Our property had a lot of heavy brush, he cleaned out the underbrush saving all of our large trees, cleared the fence lines, as well as adjusted the elevation to allow the water to run off probably. Everyone that drives by stops to tell us how great it looks! Colby will treat you right, he is reasonable, fair and honest!"

Hi, I’m Daniel, owner of Haulbin, a veteran-owned business serving the Houston area.\n\nI handle demolition from bathroom and interior tear-outs to full shed, garage, and driveway removal, and I haul everything away when I’m done so you’re not left with a mess.\n\nWith my own mini excavator and track loader, I also handle land clearing, brush and overgrowth removal, light excavation, and site cleanup.\n\nFor junk removal, debris hauling, and material delivery, I use my own dump truck, so there’s no waiting on rentals or third-party crews.\n\nI’m a U.S. Army veteran, and I carry that same discipline into my work: show up on time, communicate clearly, give honest pricing, and finish what I start.\n\nWhat you can expect:\n\nUpfront, fair quotes\nPunctual, respectful service\nJob site left clean\nMy own equipment, no subcontracting

FAQs for excavation projects in Hockley, TX

Depth depends on the type of installation and the regulations in your area. Water supply lines typically require 24 inches, while drainage pipes are often installed 36 inches below grade. For most general projects, a depth of 12 to 24 inches and a width of about eight inches is sufficient. Sticking to these specs keeps your utilities safe, code-compliant, and easier to maintain later.

When you need to run utilities underground, you’ve got two main options: boring or trenching. Boring employs directional drilling to install utilities without exposing a continuous channel, while trenching requires excavating an open channel to place utilities securely. Directional drilling preserves landscape integrity, whereas trenching provides direct access for installation, albeit with greater surface disruption. This clear comparison helps you select the method best suited to your project.

Plan on 12 hours to dig 100 linear feet when the soil is cooperative and you can work continuously. This timeframe applies when work is performed consistently and methodically. Factors such as rocky soil, tree roots, obstructions, and frozen ground increase the overall duration, demanding extra planning and effort. Comprehensive operational planning ensures that every challenge is managed efficiently and the project is completed on schedule.

If you want your yard to look untouched, laying fresh sod over the trench is the quickest fix. New sod needs 30 to 45 days to root and blend with the rest of your lawn. A local sod pro can provide you with a firm timeline and tips to ensure the grass takes hold and maintains your curb appeal.
