"I had a drainage issue around a building on a concrete pad on my property. Jake, the proprietor, visited, assessed the issue and made a plan to put channel drains in the concrete pad to drain the water. He was able to put two well placed drains in the areas needing drainage. We have since had two heavy rains. No water has collected and the drains functioned perfectly. Price was very reasonable and Jake was a pleasure to work with. Highly recommend!"

"It is hard to find a team that is well managed. Kameron is a great manager of his team. He is a strong leader and his business has great communication. He is also very knowledgable and has great resources that help him be creative in his projects. He took on a very challenging home drainage issue I had that required putting perimeter drainage around two sides of my house. I had a leaking basement and a home that a very difficult rock in the depths of the earth. The project needed to be modified to meet the unique needs of ground conditions and Kameron and his team worked with the challenges and I appreciated the work they did very much."

"Fantastic. I could not be more pleased with Proficient Gradeings solution, execution and completion of the work He and his crew Did for me. From the start I knew I was in capable hands. Alberto LISTENED to the problems I was having that was destroying a large dirt bank behind my house. His SOLUTION made perfect sense and I had a cost estimate and time schedule the very next day. Alberto arrived on time, ready to work with needed materials and equipment. Even with some additional work I added on the work was completed on time and there was no mess left. I have already hired Proficient grading to come back and do another unrelated job for Me and I have no doubt it will be done correctly, on time and on budget."

1st Response Plumbing and Flood Damage Restoration in San Diego. Plumbing, Water Damage Repair. Locally owned and operated and has been in the plumbing industry for over 15 years. First Response Flood Damage & Plumbing was founded on the principals of high quality and speedy plumbing service for both residences and businesses. We have made it our mission to be the most available and widely used plumber for our San Diego neighbors.

"These guys accepted a service call via my home warranty company for a well pump that wasn't functioning. They came out to inspect it. 24 hours passed and no estimate was received. I called and texted with no response. Keep in mind that this is the well that provides water to my house. I start calling the home warranty company and they cannot get a response either. Another 24 hours pass and they finally respond to let us know they don't service wells. Why the F did you accept the service call for a well pump, then come out to inspect the well pump, only to tell us you don't service wells 48 hours later? Steer clear of these guys!!!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Call 811 to locate and mark the gas lines at least three days before digging. In many areas, you can dig within 18 inches of the lines, though in some locations, the distance may be further. Check local regulations, as you may need a utility company representative onsite when digging. Document your calls to 811 and precautions taken to avoid gas lines. A homeowner can be held liable for hitting a gas line in some cases, but contacting the proper authorities and following all guidelines can offer protection.

A crawl space can be as little as 42 inches below the grade of your house, but this is not always recommended in flood-prone areas. At a minimum, there must be at least 16 inches of clearance between the ground and the floor joists to access the space in an emergency.

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.

Because decomposed granite is a durable material, a crushed rock or gravel base is optional as long as the DG is properly installed and compacted. However, installing a base is a good idea because it will ensure proper drainage and stability and act as a weed suppressant (although you may still occasionally have to pull weeds). Installing an adequate base can also increase the durability of driveways and walkways. If you forego the paver base or gravel underneath, line the area with landscaping fabric to avoid weeds.

It all depends on the scope of the project. A trencher can certainly save time and energy, but you might not need to dig that deep in the first place. Aside from the depth of the trench, the quality of the soil matters. If it’s light, soft soil, you might try a shovel first. However, if the soil is rocky and hard or there are obstructions in it, like tree roots, a machine trencher might be the better option.
