We work throughout Cape Elizabeth, South Portland, Portland, and Scarborough, providing lawn care, seasonal cleanups, planting, and landscape design. Our team also specializes in hardscape installation, including patios and walkways, and offers dependable snow services during the winter months. With a focus on sustainability, we use regionally suited plants and thoughtful design to create outdoor spaces that look great and support the local environment.

Let us help bring your landscape to life with care, creativity, and respect for the place we call home.

"Last summer I had the pleasure of working with Garden Guys for a landscape installation project at my home. From start to finish, the entire process was smooth, professional, and exceeded all my expectations. The team was incredibly attentive to my ideas and needs. One of the things that stood out to me were their general attitudes. They seemed to have a great time doing the work at hand were very friendly to me and my wife. That is not always the case with landscape companies. They installed a variety of plants, shrubs, and trees, all of which are growing in beautifully. We were able to incorporate blooming all season which has been a very nice thing to have. We have a hardscaping project scheduled for next summer and we are very excited. We are getting a new patio on the backside of our house. I highly recommend Garden Guys to anyone looking for top-notch landscaping services."

"DON"T HIRE THIS MAN, BAD NEWS: When he came, I told him about a sump pump and asked him to please watch out for it and not bulldoze dirt over it. Guess what, clogged it. Had a back up and it flooded my finished family room. Not to mention, my lawn is all weeds, he never came back to fix it. never pulled the stumps, which was part of the contract, had to hire someone else. Big waste of money. If he tells you he guarantees his work, don't believe him."

"DuFort did not do a good job. In the spring I was constantly calling for when they would show up. The weekly mows were finally consistent then came a price increase. I have never received a price increase in the middle of the season. When I received the increase on a bill it was more than he said. I sent emails but no response. He did the fall cleanup in very early November when the leaves were still on the trees. Needless to say, I am in the process on now trying to find someone to do a fall cleanup. I do not recommend this company. Maybe he was better in previous year but not for me."

FAQs for rototilling projects in South Portland, ME

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.
