"We recently hired Price Peak Services to perform some basic landscape services and we are very pleased with the results. From the very beginning, their communication was excellent. They provided a clear, detailed estimate and stuck to it throughout the project. The workers were incredibly professional and punctual. Additionally, they made sure to clean up the workspace before leaving. The quality of their craftsmanship is outstanding, and our yard looks completely transformed. I highly recommend Price Peak Services to anyone looking for a reliable and skilled labor contractor!""

"Our project was large for a residential site. Our backyard slopes down by about 4 feet over a stretch of about 12 feet towards a back fence. This slope extends across the width of the property. We needed a large box/platform built against the back of the property to provide a level area to support a 12' x 16' utility shed. Joshua built the platform using railroad ties on three sides (the forth side was level with the original ground). He secured the ties with rebar into the ground and buried horizontal ties perpendicular to the back wall to secure it and prevent bowing. He filled the box with dirt, compressed it, and topped it with white gravel. He surfaced the outside and top of the railroad ties with screwed-in 2'x6' beams to improve the aesthetics of the box. We also wanted three garden bed boxes built, each 4'x8'x18" high and capped around the top edge with 2x6 beams to provide a place to sit while gardening. Joshua built the boxes off site, them brought them to our backyard to an area roughly 10' x 21' that he leveled for this purpose. He separated this area from our lawn using rounded beams which he put in place using rebar stakes pounded through them into the ground. He brought in a generous amount of pea gravel which he placed around the boxes in the enclosed the area. He filled the boxes with a compost/dirt mix. Positive highlights especially worth mentioning: 1) When the shed platform was complete (but before the garden boxes were finished), the shed was delivered to our property and placed on the platform by workers from the shed company. It was a very tight squeeze getting this large shed on the property, up the backyard grade and placed on the platform. I called Josh and let him know what was happening and he dropped what he was doing to make a special trip out and he helped place the shed on the platform. 2) The equipment used to perform the leveling and build the shed platform was heavy and we had relatively new sod before the work started. The equipment wiped out the lawn and Joshua surprised us with new rolls of sod which he installed when the project was complete. Again, we didn't ask for this nor did he require us to pay for it. 3) I purchased a large water tank and heavy rubber mats to be placed into the shed as wall-to-wall flooring. Joshua didn't hesitate to use his flatbed trailer (and time) to go to Tractor Supply to pick up these purchases for us. He then he used his fork lift to bring these items into the shed. All of which he did without asking for additional compensation, and all with only a moment's notice. We gave Joshua a good tip for his efforts - but he didn't know we were going to do this. His motivation the whole time was to make us happy, and throughout the project he always had a very positive "we're going to make this happen" attitude. Thank you, Joshua, for your hard work and an excellent job."

"I hired Texas Quality Cleaning Services for a move out clean of a 2300sq' house I had rented for 2 years. They provided very efficient cleaning services including cabinets, appliances, floors, walls, window sills, bathrooms, drawer wipe downs, behind and under appliances, windows and so much more. They did an outstanding job and I would definitely hire them again."

FAQs for excavation major grading or resloping projects in Lubbock, TX

The time required to dig a 100-foot trench varies significantly depending on soil conditions and the type of equipment used. Most residential projects using walk-behind trenchers take between two and four hours for this length. Soft soil allows for faster progress, while rocky or clay-heavy ground requires more time. If you're new to operating trenching equipment, allow for additional time to learn the controls and work at a comfortable pace.

Standard trenches measure between 12 and 24 inches deep and approximately eight inches wide, which is within the capability of most walk-behind trenchers. The exact depth capacity varies by model and manufacturer. For specialized projects, such as French drain installation, an 18-inch depth is standard. Always confirm the specific depth capabilities of your rental equipment before beginning your project.

While formal certification isn't always required, basic training is highly recommended before operating trenching equipment. Most rental companies provide operational instructions and safety guidelines when you pick up the equipment. If you're uncomfortable with heavy machinery or have a particularly challenging site, consider hiring professionals. For those proceeding with DIY trenching, start slowly and practice in an open area before tackling your actual project.

For typical residential irrigation systems, a walk-behind trencher is generally sufficient. These systems require trenches between six and 12 inches deep, depending on your local frost line and system specifications. The narrow trenches produced by walk-behind models are ideal for installing standard irrigation pipes. For larger properties or particularly challenging soil conditions, consider a more powerful model.

Contact your local utility marking service before any digging project to identify underground hazards. Remove obstacles, rocks, and lawn furniture from your work area and planned trench path. Mark your intended trench line using stakes or marking paint to ensure straight, properly aligned trenches. Having a plan for soil disposal and eventual backfilling will also streamline your project and minimize rental time.

First-time operators often encounter issues with blade clogging in wet or clay-heavy soil. Hitting unmarked underground utilities can cause service disruptions and create safety hazards. Many DIYers underestimate project timelines, resulting in rushed work or additional rental days. Trench wall collapse can occur in unstable soil conditions. Following manufacturer guidelines, maintaining appropriate speeds, and thoroughly preparing your site can help avoid these common complications.
