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

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, it’s always a good idea to fertilize your lawn before a major leveling project. This step gives your grass the nutrients necessary for healthy growth, helping it recover and replenish itself faster. However, you should do this at least three weeks in advance, as the leveling process can disturb the newly-applied fertilizer.

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.

Many ways to landscape a steep slope on a budget exist. Avoiding expensive retaining wall construction is the first step. Consider creating a rocky slope with boulders or large stones, or think about planting perennials that return every year with a single investment. Transplanting small trees from elsewhere on your property is also possible and can help to stabilize steep slopes without purchasing new ones. 

Periodic checks for erosion and proper drainage function ensure lasting results.
