Q: How much does rototilling cost?

• <div><p>The average cost to have rototilling done on your property is around <b>$250</b>, and most homeowners pay between <b>$100 and $350</b>. The total for your rototilling project will depend on the area you need tilled, the quality of the soil, how many roots and shrubs are in the area, and the accessibility of the area. Anything that increases the time to till your soil&mdash;like hard clay soil, small entrances to the area that require the use of smaller tools, and roots running through the ground&mdash;will all increase your costs.</p></div>

Q: How long does a perc test take?

• <div><p>A perc test takes an average of around two hours, but it can range from one hour up to around six hours. Perc tests that require wider or deeper holes and those that require multiple holes dug throughout your property will take longer because there&rsquo;s more excavation involved. The actual filling of the hole and monitoring to gauge the rate of percolation should take under an hour per hole.</p></div>

Q: How do I fix a small slope in my backyard?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-do-i-fix-lawn-depression.htm">Fixing a depression in your lawn</a> is a DIY for small dips, divots, or slight slopes. You can either remove sod and earth to lower the uneven ground or add premixed topsoil and reseed the lawn to raise it. You can also hire a yard grading company near you for professional help.</p></div>

Q: Can I do rototilling myself?

• <div><p>Yes, you can rent a rototiller for around <b>$60</b> per day and do the work yourself, but it&rsquo;s not recommended. Tilling is more of an art than a science, as tilling too deep can be detrimental to your soil structure and the organic matter that is beneficial to plants and shrubs, and tilling too shallow won&rsquo;t properly introduce fertilizer or break up the soil for rooting plants. Additionally, tillers are powerful machines with sharp blades to cut through small roots and soil, so they are inherently dangerous to use. It&rsquo;s usually worth it to hire a professional rototiller.</p></div>

Q: How do you landscape a steep slope on a budget?

• <div><p>Many ways to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/tips-landscaping-your-lawn-budget.htm">landscape a steep slope on a budget</a> exist. Avoiding expensive retaining wall construction is the first step. Consider creating a rocky slope with boulders or large stones, or think about planting perennials that return every year with a single investment. Transplanting small trees from elsewhere on your property is also possible and can help to stabilize steep slopes without purchasing new ones. </p></div>
