"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."

"Very respectful and friendly. Needed to have a site cleared for construction and they were able to accommodate my needs as I lived on the property at the time of clearing and grading. I was more than satisfied with the results and time it took for them to complete the job."

"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!"

"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."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

There are several different factors that influence how long it takes to excavate. For a foundation, it could take anywhere from three days to three weeks. It can take even longer if you face weather-related delays or an inaccessible site that’s riddled with boulders and rough terrain. It may also take longer if you have clay soil, which is more difficult to dig.

Digging out a basement takes anywhere from a few days to a few months. Most projects take at least two to five weeks, but it could take several months if you encounter obstacles. This project takes longer if you need to brace or raise your home before the excavation. Digging out a basement in new construction can take as little as three days.

Excavations take a few days or up to a few weeks. The time it takes to excavate an area depends on the size of the area, the type of soil, the type of excavator, and even the time of year, since winter can make digging up the ground more difficult.

Some two-in-one tools and machines do both jobs, and those could be the right solution for smaller residential projects. However, the phrase “use the right tool for the job” definitely applies to digging. For the best results, get two separate tools for your trenching and landscape edging projects or call a pro to take care of everything for you.

There are many ways to cut through roots when digging, especially if your trencher doesn’t seem to be removing the roots. First, use a shovel to expose the roots. Then, use gardening shears to clear out smaller roots or a reciprocating saw to remove larger plant roots. If you plan on keeping the plant, avoid cutting any roots over 2 inches thick.
