"This was my first time using Angie’s list. Put in the request for lawn maintenance, and Damien called me in less than 10 minutes. No other contractor reached out within 48 hours. I knew Damien was the man for the job. Came by my house and took a look at everything, and he offered to go above and beyond and do some additional weed pulling and hedging. Knocked it all out of the park. I highly recommend using Damien and his crew for your landscaping needs. 5 stars!"

"I needed a TV mounted, so I got in contact with Freeman’s Handyman Service. They did an Amazing job of mounting my TV to the brick over the fireplace. I was more than satisfied with their work and how they cleaned up afterwards. I would gladly recommend them and call them back to do more work."

FAQs for rototilling projects in Start, LA

The average cost to have rototilling done on your property is around $250, and most homeowners pay between $100 and $350. 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—like hard clay soil, small entrances to the area that require the use of smaller tools, and roots running through the ground—will all increase your costs.

Yes, rototilling has many benefits. Rototilling is a great way to aerate the soil in your garden, introduce fertilizer, and remove weeds from your soil to prep it for planting, so it is very often a worthwhile expense. You can get by without rototilling if you’re willing to use manual tools, but the work will take much longer and is very labor-intensive. If you’re looking to prepare your garden for planting or your soil for new grass growth, rototilling is relatively inexpensive and almost always worth the money.

Yes, you can rent a rototiller for around $60 per day and do the work yourself, but it’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’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’s usually worth it to hire a professional rototiller.
