"Recently we contracted the “XTRA CARE LANDSCAPING & DESIGN INC” for repair/replacing of our old driveway. The work was done in the best possible way from the very beginning to the end . We had a great help from the company in designing the project for the reasonable price ( it was better than in other companies , we consulted with before). Mr. Cleber Rodrigues, the president of the Company, proposed the project and supervised the work until the finish of the construction. The technical drawing for obtaining the permit was provided promptly and Mari was very helpful in coordination with project manager CJ. All corrections were done, and it was great communication between CJ and the Field Inspector from Permit Department. The work started on time as it was scheduled. The crews: Marcos and his team, were very nice, professional and responsive, going along with all our requests, even if it wasn't included in the initial plan. They started working every day at 8am and worked the full day with minimal disturbances for us, thoughtfully thinking about our convenience (we are working from home these days). Every day they cleaned the surrounding territory, covering the materials, when the rain was expected, and thoroughly cleaned everything when the project was finished. The communications with the office and with project manager was extremely easy and effective. Mari and CJ were promptly responded to e-mails and phone calls. We are very satisfied by the quality of work, service, and friendly atmosphere we felt during the entire period of the project. We received really "XtraCare" from the company. The only inconvenience, we can think about, is that all passerby people are asking us now "who built this awesome driveway?" We are certainly recommending the XTRA CARE LANDSCAPING & DESIGN INC !"

"I hired Baumann's Lawn and Landscape to fix my front lawn. The soil was mostly clay and sand and covered in weeds. They killed and removed all the vegetation, tilled the soil, brought in new topsoil, conditioned/fertilized, and then laid sod. The crew was fast, efficient, polite, and did an amazing job (hopefully this site allows me to upload photos after writing this). The work was done in 3 separate days and took less than 2 weeks from the initial phone call to the finished installation. The price is what you would expect for this level of work and that much sod (sod is not cheap). They're not over-priced but it's not Bob's discount landscaping either. You'll get your money's worth for your project. Baumann's will be my #1 choice for future landscape projects."

"I have extensive damage to my lawn due to moles, so I needed to have the whole lawn reseeded. I decided to have the lawn aerated with their two direction aerator and then seeded. They said your lawn would be thick come spring time and would have very few if any weeds. They were right, grass even grew in shaded areas that would never take shade seed. They left you with a small bag of sun seed and small bag of shade seed to touch up any areas that need some attention. Very happy with the results. I used a little of the shade seed in the spring and that was all."

FAQs for rototilling projects in Silver Spring, MD

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.
