"Marc went above and beyond when installing a yard drainage system in our side yard. He was quick to give us a competitive quote, easy to work with, and got a complicated job done fast. I would highly recommend him for homeowners looking to modify the slope and or drainage plan for their plot."

"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

It’s possible to transplant trees as tall as 50 feet when an experienced tree planting service uses the right equipment. However, a tree with a trunk larger than two or three inches in diameter needs to be handled by a professional in order to yield successful transplanting results. Consulting a tree planting professional is the best way to tell if your large tree can be safely transplanted.

Depth is not a qualifying component of evacuation. Any human-made cut, cavity, or depression in the earth’s surface is considered excavation. The hole from excavation can be any size, shape, or depth. Excavation is used to create foundations, reservoirs, drainage ditches, and roads. Long, narrow excavations are called trenches and are often used for underground utilities.

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.

Skunk digging looks like a series of small, cone-shaped holes on a lawn or around the perimeter of a home, porch, deck, or shed. The holes that skunks dig when searching for grubs tend to be no more than four inches in diameter and may be up to four inches deep.

There is no standard depth for burying a septic tank; they are typically buried anywhere from 4 inches to 4 feet underground. The final depth depends on several factors, including the depth of your main sewer line, the height of the bedrock, soil type, local regulations, and the property's landscape. If you plan to grow grass or plants over the tank, a depth of at least 4 to 6 inches is recommended. Deeper tanks can be more difficult to locate, but a septic professional can help find it for you.
