They work hard and made sure it was on nice and strand strong enough to keep from wind blowing in or out. It looks great on bottom of trailer. I will hire them again when I need anything else done.

"Where do I start? They will return your phone calls, answer any questions in a courteous & professional manner. Gave us a fair estimate on a fence job & gave us a date when they could do the job. They actually got to us quicker than we expected. Arrived when they said they would, worked hard & didn't leave a mess when they left. Everyone we talked to was courteous, professional and friendly. They did the job exactly how we wanted it done & our horses are happy they can go from their pasture to the barn anytime they want. I would highly recommend Pro Performance Industrial to anyone. We are very happy with the job they did for us & they did it for a reasonable price."

"Two Bearded Men did an amazing job! They did some major grading on my land that I thought would never be able to be leveled and at an incredibly reasonable price. They are just about the nicest people to work with and kept in constant contact with me to make sure I was satisfied with their work. I would recommend them to anyone and cannot say enough good things about them."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

No, a ditch isn’t a trench. A ditch is an open, relatively shallow channel that’s carved out of the ground and used for drainage purposes. In contrast, a trench is a deeper excavation that’s entirely underground. Trenches have many uses, including gas lines, sewage systems, and electrical wiring. Unlike trenches, ditches don’t get filled back in with dirt after they’re dug.

In most areas, you will need a permit for excavation work, even for projects that only involve grading or yard leveling. Permit requirements depend on your local government and the scope of the project, but they are especially common for significant digging or work that could affect utilities or public property. These permits help protect the local topography and prevent drainage issues. An experienced excavation company will typically know whether permits are needed and can often handle the process of pulling and closing them for you. You can also verify permit requirements by contacting your local building department and describing your project.

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.

Digging a bush up by the roots is the most natural DIY method for removing a bush stump. Start by identifying the shrub type and revealing its roots. Cut the shrub to its base and loosen the soil, ensuring no utility lines are nearby. Optionally, treat the base with herbicide, then dig around the roots and cut a circle around the shrub using various tools. Dig a trench, cut the base of the root ball, and finally fill the hole to prevent regrowth. This thorough process ensures complete removal without damaging surrounding areas.

Yes, an excavation company is the best option for land grading and yard leveling. General landscapers might be able to tackle these projects, but an excavation company will do a better job because they’re used to operating the necessary heavy machinery. Landscapers might opt to do the work manually, which takes much longer and could cost you more in labor fees. Finally, excavation companies will understand local regulations and know when you need permits to legalize the work, while a landscaper might not.
