I have been doing excavation, grading, and leveling work for over 35 years. Over the last few years I have also completed several xeriscape projects, park strip facelifts, and smaller sod installation jobs. It is important to not only get the job done, but to get it done right and exactly how you want it. I will customize each project to your individual needs, paying close attention to details. I value honesty and integrity in all aspects of my business, and my focus is on quality work. I will never cut corners. Please feel free to contact me today!

"These guys are amazing to work with. Very quick to respond and answer any questions you have."

"Francisco and Flaco did an absolutely amazing job preparing our yard for our deck. They graded the area and removed all the overburden, moved our sprinkler valves, dug the holes for and poured footings for three support posts, and then poured a concrete slab for storage as well as the rest of the footings for the deck. They were prompt, kept their work area clean, communicated well, and were willing to work with the fact that I recently had knee surgery and had dogs that needed to use the yard periodically during the day. They also did a fantastic job of cleaning up the yard and power washing the driveway when they were all through. I would highly, highly recommend Knockout Landscaping for any job that you have upcoming. Pricing was very reasonable and they went the extra mile to make sure everything was just as we wanted."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

To locate an underground downspout, you should start by identifying where the above ground gutter drains. Look for an entry point, such as a pipe or elbow leading into the ground. Follow the surface path for signs like depressions, landscaping disruptions, or wet areas after rain. You can use a metal detector or plumber’s snake to trace the pipe underground. For deeper pipes, a professional locator tool or camera inspection may be necessary. Visual markers or utility maps can also guide the search.

In most areas, you will need a permit for excavation work, even if the project only involves grading or yard leveling. Excavation permits help protect the topography in your area and can avoid issues with poor drainage. In most cases, your excavation company will know whether or not permits are required and will even pull them and close them out for you before and after the job. You can also verify whether permits are necessary by calling your local building department and explaining the proposed project.

It takes one hour to dig a 10-foot trench by hand. Use a trenching shovel with a sharp tip and a long head. Plan for more time if your soil is heavy or rocky. Consider renting a trencher if you’re digging a long or deep trench or if you have challenging soil or terrain. 

While you can save some money by digging your own pool, you may end up paying more in construction equipment rental fees in the long run. You could, however, focus your DIY energies on lowering the cost of leveling your lawn for your pool or filling in surrounding landscaping after construction.

Yes, trenchers can go through gravel. Gravel is made up of smaller, softer rocks that certain trenchers are able to cut through. Just be sure to use a rock wheel trencher or chain trencher, both of which are made to cut through rocky landscapes and gravel pathways without dulling the teeth or chain.
