Get matched with top rototilling pros in Chantilly, VA

Q: How much does rototilling cost?

• <div><p>The average cost to have rototilling done on your property is around <b>$250</b>, and most homeowners pay between <b>$100 and $350</b>. 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&mdash;like hard clay soil, small entrances to the area that require the use of smaller tools, and roots running through the ground&mdash;will all increase your costs.</p></div>

Q: How long does grading or re-sloping take to complete?

• <div><p>Typically 1-3 days, depending on property size and terrain condition.</p></div>

Q: Why hire a professional for grading or re-sloping?

• <div><p>Ensures proper drainage and ground stability, preventing soil erosion and foundation issues.</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>

Q: Do I need to remove grass before leveling?

• <div><p>For minor unevenness, you don't necessarily need to remove grass before leveling. You can apply a topdressing mixture to fill in low areas and even out the surface. However, for more significant unevenness or deep depressions, it might be necessary to temporarily remove the grass to ensure proper leveling and soil compaction. After filling and leveling, you can replace the grass or consider reseeding the area.</p></div>
