WHY HIRE A PROFESSIONAL FOR GARDEN TILLING?
While small rototillers work for tiny beds, most gardens benefit from commercial-grade tilling equipment. Our machines till deeper and more evenly than consumer-grade tillers, breaking through compacted clay and hard pan that smaller machines just bounce off of.
Professional tilling saves you hours of backbreaking work and delivers better results. We can till new garden areas from scratch — turning grass or bare ground into a ready-to-plant garden bed in a single visit.
We also handle annual spring tilling for established gardens. Many of our customers schedule us each year to turn their beds before planting season, mixing in compost and amendments while we're at it.

BENEFITS OF PROFESSIONAL GARDEN TILLING
Better Soil Aeration
Tilling loosens compacted soil so roots can grow deeper and access more water and nutrients.
Weed Removal
Turning the soil buries existing weeds and breaks up root systems, giving your plants a clean start.
Amendment Mixing
We can till in compost, lime, fertilizer, or other soil amendments evenly throughout your garden bed.
Raised Bed Prep
Whether you have in-ground beds or raised beds, we prepare the soil to the right depth and texture for planting.
GARDEN TILLING PRICING
Garden tilling in Upstate SC typically ranges from $75 to $300+, depending on garden size, soil conditions, and whether amendments need to be mixed in. We offer free estimates.
Factors That Affect Price:
- • Garden size (sq ft) — Larger gardens take more time
- • Soil conditions — Hard clay or rocky soil requires more passes
- • New vs. established — Breaking new ground takes longer than annual tilling
- • Amendments — Mixing in compost or lime adds minimal cost
- • Accessibility — Fenced yards or tight spaces may affect equipment access
