We sell and install exterior building materials from ground to rooftop. We also do custom design work for home and yard, turn your backyard into a show stopping oasis

"Contracted HomePro to build a sunroom and install siding. Signed contract about Labor Day. After several " trips to measure:" work finaly started the week before Christmas. Never knew who would show up as there was 2 crews working. Salesman kept coming by to collect money even though contract called for payment at completion. Owner came out at completion and made several promises that were never fulfilled. Job was shoddy and less than professional. On completion found several contractors that could have done the job cheaper (our fault). If interested in HomePro investigate them completely."

Rototilling questions, answered by experts

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, such as sod installation and erosion control for comprehensive site improvement.

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.

Hardscaping often requires preparation of the ground in the area where the feature is being installed. This can include digging, compacting, and leveling the soil, ensuring adequate drainage, and removing any existing plants. The extent of preparation needed will depend on the type and size of the hardscaping feature being installed.

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’s foundation, you could even end up with foundation leaks or structural damage due to poor yard grading.
