Why We Never Skip the Rotovator
Many 'budget' landscapers will simply scrape the weeds off your old lawn and roll new grass directly on top of the rock-hard dirt. This guarantees poor drainage and weak root systems. To build a lasting lawn, the subsoil must be physically broken apart and infused with oxygen.
What goes into rotovating?
Rotovating heavy North East clay by hand is nearly impossible. It requires hiring professional, heavy-duty petrol rotovators or utilizing mini-diggers with specific attachments. The cost involves:
- Machinery Hire & Transport: Bringing commercial-grade equipment to your property.
- Labor Time: Safely operating heavy machinery to churn the earth to a depth of 6-8 inches, breaking up the clay pan.
- Fuel and Maintenance: Heavy digging burns through fuel and wears down equipment blades quickly.
