Highly recommend! They did an amazing job at demolishing a shed and removing concrete. I’m so happy with how everything turned out. Great communication from start to finish, always had a positive attitude, and were extremely hardworking. You can tell they really care about doing the job right. I truly appreciated all their hard work and would definitely hire them again!

Alberto and the team (Edgar) were incredible. Great value. I’ve been putting off a project for years and they took care of it in two days. Very humble professionals and very and working. I’d highly recommend them to anyone!

Thumbtack customerApr 2026

These guys were able to come out within a couple days of initially contacting them, squeezed the bobcat through an unreasonably tight area (I have a lot of plants around my house) without damaging anything, got the work done quickly, and it is exactly what I needed. Very impressed with how it came out.

‼️‼️RETAINING WALL PRO‼️‼️ Alberto was professional, punctual, efficient, honest - he hit every wicket possible and will be recommending him to everyone I know. Pictures posted from after to before Back story: House has been flooding every rain season since we bought. Massive project that I’ve wanted to do but haven’t gotten around to. Link up with Alberto and he gave me a fair quote. When the labor started to stack up, he worked with me on pricing to keep it affordable. What started as a French drain in the middle of my backyard turned into a 60 foot retaining wall with a French drain behind. I couldn’t be more pleased.

Alberto was so easy to work with. He was very responsive and answered all of my questions. He was very accommodating to my schedule and got the job done in no time. I’m extremely happy with his work and the area I needed leveled is perfect. And no mess was left behind. Thank you again for your help and getting this part of my project done for me. The kids are going to love the pool area! You rock!!

Alberto and his team did a fantastic job from start to finish. Scheduled a quote and showed up on time and answered all my questions. Great communication throughout. He gave me two options with his opinion on what was possible. He cleanly demoed front entrance that was sloping up and the next day his team poured stamped concrete to match the slabs on the side. His team was very detailed in getting the slope just write and the end result was fantastic. I am recommending Alberto to my sister for her backyard patio project. I had quotes from three other companies and Alberto’s quote was the best.

I reached out to Alberto and his team after being strung along by another local grading company for 6+ weeks. Alberto came out to assess same day and had the project complete in less than a week. The team works fast and cleared and graded my entire front yard in about 8 hours. His pricing is incredibly fair given the quality of work and great communication. Will definitely use Proficient again for future yard projects.

Had 7 yards of hard clay soil from installing a French Drain to be removed and slope graded to prevent rainwater collection along the foundation. Alfonso was friendly. knowledgeable and a skilled operator of the skid bucket. Highly recommended.

Julie L.Apr 2025

Alberto and his team were fantastic to work with. They took the time to help us figure out the best way to overcome some obstacles in our project and were absolutely meticulous in the execution. I can’t recommend them highly enough. Don’t bother looking any further - hire them. You won’t be sorry.

Great professional work! Very efficient and does not leave any mess behind. Highly recommended.

Proficient Grading is the rarest of contractors you would be so lucky to hire. Alberto has the rare quality of truly caring about my project, the timeline, the budget, and understood what it took to get the job done. He went above and beyond and provided solutions to get the job done. Strongest of recommendations from a property manager of 23 years with an emphasis on renovations.

Alberto did a great job of clearing and hauling away dirt from a recent renovation I had got done. He gave a very reasonable quote compared to my regular handyman and also did a great job cleaning up after.

Holl y.Feb 2024

I got three different quotes to remove about 500 sq ft of concrete from my yard and they were all at an extremely high rate. This guy quote was very reasonable and quoted me what I originally expected to pay for a job like this. He was quick to respond to my post and he did the job in just a few hours all by himself. I'll definitely hire him again for my next yard clean up!

Trina G.Feb 2024

I came in contact with Proficient Haulers at the right time. Within an hour of my post, Alberto reached out. He came to my place within a few hours. He gave a solid estimate and he was able to complete the job in the same day. I had so much dirt in my yard that I wanted to get rid of. I was very happy with his work ethic, professionalism and punctuality. I see before and after pics posted!
