What do garden planting services include?

A tidy, well-tended, and beautiful garden can uplift the atmosphere of your home. If your yard is a mess and you don’t know where to start, you can book a skilled and experienced gardener to get the job done. While the range of skills and services vary from Tasker to Tasker, here’s what you can expect when you book a standard garden planting service on Airtasker:

 

Basic gardening tasks

Your Tasker can get on top of your garden’s health and appearance. From watering and feeding your plants to trimming large shrubs and trees, you can hire a gardener to keep your greenery in tiptop shape. They can also help remove weeds and trim hedges in your garden. 

 

Shrub and tree planting

Planting shrubs and trees can be challenging! Planting services near you can help you select prime and healthy specimens for your yard. Moreover, the gardener can plant them using proper and professional techniques. This way, you can avoid damaging your other plants, pipes, and underground wiring that may get in the way. 

 

Installation services

Are you looking to revamp your garden? Garden planting services near you may also install key decorative fixtures in your yard. Whether it’s a bird bath bench or a sculpture, you can have your Tasker safely install any fixture to enhance the look of your garden. Do note that if you intend to install a fountain, well, or anything that requires plumbing, your Tasker may have to work with an experienced plumber.

 

Yard waste removal and cleanup

If you’ve just weathered through a storm or moved into a new home, your garden might need a major cleanup. The task can be pretty overwhelming, but not to a Tasker! They can help remove branches, old fencing, broken glass, corrugated iron, or any other junk.

 

Simple landscaping

A garden planting service can help you achieve the garden of your dreams. This service can include designing and installing walkways, planting, mulching, weeding, and pruning plants for them to reach optimal health. Your Tasker can also help you select flowers and plants that will thrive in your climate and still add vibrancy to your home! What’s more, a plant repotting service near you can help transfer your plants to larger, more beautiful pots.

Balcony Plant removal, clean up, replanting / repotting

$1,500

Kew VIC 3101, Australia

16th Jul 2025

Removal of dead plants and balcony planter box weeds; repotting of plants into new larger suitable balcony pots, replacement of dead plants with suggested alternatives, replanting sustainable plants in planter boxes. Budget provided of $1500 includes an estimate of approx $750-1000 for some new plants, will be flexible on paying additional cost for total proposed new plants but the removal of weeds and dead plants / repotting should not cost more than $500-750 as there are only about 4 stand alone plants that need anything doing + the outer-edge planter box that runs along one side of the balcony glass balustrade (about 40cm wide x 4m long). Large balcony but minimal plants / space to actually tidy. Breakdown of Budget is therefore ranging from $500-$1500 to allow for a quote for work only ($500-$750 if no plants / only small plants / seeds to be provided for planter box) and up to another $500-$1000 for plants if you will recommend and provide. Pots may or may not be needed on top (if any XL pots required) depending on what is suggested, but approx 6-7 empty medium sized pots (and 1-2 M-L pots) are available already - happy to purchase up to 3 XL pots myself in addition to the quote depending on what is recommended. You will see in the second photo the 2 very battered magnolia trees in the black pots (pots that are too small, and a total of 3 magnolias in black pots that need attention) - I have also attached additional photos showing the balcony previously, to show the style of plants that used to be in some of the medium white pots (they were conical/beautifully preened and shaped until I was away & the watering system broke and they died/went brown). I would like this style again. I believe they can be obtained from between $100-$250 each depending on your contacts / plant maturity so $1000 on few of these should be sufficient? Hope this info helps! Type of gardening: Weeding, Garden cleanup, Other Size of garden: 50m²-150m² Has green waste bin: No
