"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

Hard soil could be a sign of overly dry dirt, either from poor drainage or drought. It's important to test the nutrient levels, density, and drainage capacity of your soil to see if it's absorbing water properly. Begin by adding a light layer of water and observing how long the soil retains moisture. If you experience a good deal of runoff, you may need to aerate your lawn, apply a wetting agent, or hire a professional for a closer look.

No, fire blight does not survive free in the soil but instead is carried through insects, animals, rain, or wind during the spring. Keep in mind that it can also spread on tools, which is why you should always disinfect them in between cuts.

Trenching is not the same as boring. Boring uses a drill to make a tunnel for underground utilities, but trenching involves digging with an excavator, trencher, backhoe, or shovel. Boring is more precise and expensive, and it’s best for installing utilities underneath buildings, roads, and bodies of water. Trenching is simpler but can cause more disruption to landscaping and ecosystems.

There are many ways to cut through roots when digging, especially if your trencher doesn’t seem to be removing the roots. First, use a shovel to expose the roots. Then, use gardening shears to clear out smaller roots or a reciprocating saw to remove larger plant roots. If you plan on keeping the plant, avoid cutting any roots over 2 inches thick.

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.
