❷ Grass / Weed Removal

The next step is to remove all existing weeds and grass in preparation for the roto-tilling process. Debri will be removed from the area and disposed of properly.

❸ Dirt Roto Tilling

We loosen up the ground with a Professional Roto-Tiller Machine about 3 -4 inches deep. This will help create a faster Root Formation & Deeper Root System.

Then we Power Rake the Ground to remove any Grass & Weeds. This is also where we concentrate on getting the right grade levels for proper drainage and smoothness.
