"For a 6000 sf lawn reconstruction from rocky excavation leftovers with 30 cy of loam. Marc fit me in next day. His equipment , skills, and attitude are top notch. In 5 hours he removed the bad excavated material, graded, prepped, and distributed the loam - ready to seed. He was excellent and very cost competitive."

"As a rookie in this area of landscaping, I needed an honest, understandable person to explain and explore my options for redesigning my yard which has a hill, old trees and other features that made it a real challenge. Robbie patiently provided this guidance without any pressure and was happy to explain ways in which I might reduce costs. This felt more like a partnership and I am grateful to have a professional I can trust to do a quality job. Thank you!"

"Rodolfo and his crew were great to work with, and his crew and associates did a fine job on our upstairs rental apt. Work included insulation, new windows on the sunporch, repairs of water damage in the bathroom, painting of the entire apt (colors chosen by Rodolfo - the place looks great!), and other work as needed. We are glad we found Pro Performance Construction to do the job!"

Customers say: Quick response

"Removed all overgrowth from more than one acre of property, some which was 2-3 feet tall, removed small trees growing in areas not wanted; removed leaf accumulations against the foundation; trimmed large trees around the inside perimeter of the yard to so one can walk under them; chipped and removed all of the cut-down brush. Company did everything asked, for a very reasonable price; workers were efficient and friendly. Several neighbors commented on the excellent work, and the much improved look of the yard."

"The best money we've spent on our home outside - went from overgrown & overwhelming - to a magazine cover. A true transformation. I now understand all the 5star reviews - he works all jobs himself, w/ a little help from immediate family (no crew). He loves what he does, takes the time to do things right, listens / checks-in to be sure we are happy with decisions along the way. I went with every suggestion made. Eventually, I gave full reign with a 'surprise me' response to his suggestions :-). I would trust him to do any landscaping job. Would recommend to my mother! I now LOVE pulling into our driveway now - looks stunning!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Preparation involves site assessment, clearing debris, grading surfaces, and compacting soil to support stable construction.

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.

The cost to repair a crawl space runs between $1,500 and $15,000, depending on the extent of the damage. Major flooding or water repairs can cost up to $10,000 for removal and repairs. If you simply need to clean your crawl space, expect to pay between $2,000 and $6,000 for a major cleanout. Replacing a crawl space beam due to rot or damage can cost between $1,500 and $5,000, while removing and replacing damaged insulation costs between $1,000 and $4,000.

Yes, you can excavate in the winter, but it might make the job harder. Frozen ground is harder to dig, and snow or ice can make the work site more hazardous. A contractor may need special equipment and techniques, such as ground-thawing methods, to break through frozen soil. Although winter excavation is possible, it may take longer and be more costly than excavating during warmer months.

Maintain open communication and address issues as they arise, ensuring contract terms cover potential delays.
