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>

Q: Is rototilling worth it?

• <div><p>Yes, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-rototilling-can-help-your-plants-thrive-spring.htm">rototilling has many benefits</a>. 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&rsquo;re willing to use manual tools, but the work will take much longer and is very labor-intensive. If you&rsquo;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.</p></div>

Q: How do professionals handle uneven terrain during aeration?

• <div><p>Professional equipment adapts to different terrains, ensuring thorough aeration across all lawn areas.</p></div>

Q: Why is grading a yard important?

• <div><p>Yard grading is a key component of proper drainage because runoff naturally moves with respect to gravity. If you have low spots in your yard, rain and snowmelt will settle there and oversaturate the soil, promoting root rot and fungal growth. If the low spots are near your home&rsquo;s foundation, you could even end up with foundation leaks or structural damage due to poor yard grading.</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>
