Get matched with top rototilling pros in Malibu, CA

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 long does grading or re-sloping take to complete?

• <div><p>Typically 1-3 days, depending on property size and terrain condition.</p></div>

Q: Is a 20% slope too steep for a driveway?

• <div><p>While some areas may allow for a slope of up to 20%, this is often the maximum slope for driveways, with a few exceptions of up to 25%. Other regions may have a maximum of 12%, 15%, or 18%, so check with your local building department to ensure you&rsquo;re laying a driveway that is up to code for your location. </p></div>

Q: What environmental factors should be considered in lakefront landscaping?

• <div><p>Environmental considerations include native plant selection, wildlife habitation, erosion prevention measures, and managing water runoff patterns to protect the lakefront ecosystem.</p></div>

Q: Do you have to be careful when putting landscaping over a leach field or drain field?

• <div><p>You should exercise care when deciding <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/landscaping-around-your-septic-system.htm">how to landscape over a leach field</a> for your septic system. You typically want lightweight materials that won&rsquo;t damage the drain field&rsquo;s perforated pipes. When adding plants to the area, select plants with shallow roots, such as grass or flower gardens. Trees with deep roots could damage the pipes in the field.</p></div>
