They should've dug a trench, like NASA does.

Apparently they can't trench deep at the Boca launch site because of a high water table.

Ah yes, in contrast to the Florida swamps with their famously deep water tables... /s

NASA in Florida builds a hill to house the flame trench and puts the launch pad on top. Same should be done in Texas.
