Remove 1 Inch of Topsoil From Garden Path – 6m x 0.7m

$150

Fulham Gardens, South Australia

19th Jul 2025

I need someone to scrape and remove about 1 inch (approx 2.5cm) of topsoil from a garden pathway so I can lay some weed mat and fresh stones. The path is roughly 6 metres long and 0.7 metres wide. The job involves: • Scraping off the top layer of dirt evenly along the path • Removing and disposing of all soil and debris Important: • No paving or relaying is required – I’ll take care of that later. • Access is straightforward. • Must bring your own tools (shovel, wheelbarrow, etc.) and be able to remove the soil offsite. Please include your availability and confirm if you can take the soil away. Thanks!

Efficient and good execution.
