What do mulching services include?

Buying and spreading mulch doesn’t have to take a lot of time, money, and effort—especially when a mulching specialist is within arm’s reach! When you book a mulching service through Airtasker, you can expect your Tasker to take care of this labor-intensive yet crucial part of maintaining a garden. Here’s what a typical mulching service will include: 

Picking and buying the right mulch 

First, the Tasker may assess your garden and determine the kind of mulch it needs. Shredded bark is quite common and easy to apply, for example, but isn’t as nutritious for the soil. Household waste such as grass clippings, leaves, and compost is beneficial for the soil but isn’t great at preventing weeds. Shredded leaves and pine needles are also great for mulching. A thinner mulch made of grass clippings and straw may be easier to use and more suitable for vegetable gardens.  

The Tasker can also help you figure out how much mulch to buy based on the size of your yard, the thickness required, and your budget. You can provide the supply budget and send your Tasker to the garden center. Otherwise, you can book a mulch delivery service to get the materials sent straight to your doorstep.  

Preparing the garden beds

Once the supplies are ready, the Tasker starts clearing the flower and vegetable beds. They’ll tidy up and other debris, then scrape off the old mulch. Next, they’ll check if your beds require watering and an application of herbicide. This is the best time to get the moisture and weedkiller in since the mulch will help hold them. Then, the mulching specialist may uproot any weeds lingering in the garden. 

Spreading the mulch 

Now, it’s time to spread that mulch! The Tasker may put on a layer that’s around 1-4 inches thick—just enough to keep the moisture in and keep weeds out, but not so thick that no water reaches the soil. Ideally, the Tasker should avoid creating “mulch volcanoes,” which can become hotbeds for pests, rot, and diseases that can spread around your garden. 

Take note that for ornamentals, mulch should be at least 3 inches away from the base of each plant. But if you’re growing vegetables, the Tasker needs to apply mulch around the base to help them retain moisture and prevent weeds. 

Mulching trees

Tree mulching has many benefits, so you should consider booking a tree mulching service. A Tasker can spread mulch over the trees in your garden. This process protects young trees, provides much-needed nutrition, and reduces the threat of other plants and weeds. If you have an old or damaged tree, you can also hire a tree surgeon who can safely and correctly prune and treat trees.

Clean-up and mulch front yard (simple tidy-up, not landscaping

$400

Myrtle Bank SA 5064, Australia

23rd Nov 2025

Need someone to tidy and mulch my front yard. This is a quick clean-up only — no landscaping. Jobs required: • Remove leaves, sticks and surface debris • Weed all garden beds (just visible weeds, no deep digging) • Cleanly edge garden beds so the lawn/beds are clearly defined • Lay fresh mulch across all garden beds (around 0.5–1 cubic metre; dark mulch or pine bark preferred) • Light trimming of overgrown plants where needed — only tidy-up cuts, no major pruning • Blow/sweep all paths for a clean finish Yard details: several beds along both sides of the walkway, plus a bigger bed along the fence with mature trees and shrubs. Just needs mulch and a general tidy to look neat until proper landscaping happens next year. Outcome: a front yard that looks clean, mulched and deliberately maintained. You’ll need basic gardening tools (rake, blower, shovel, pruning shears) and a wheelbarrow. You can collect mulch or I can pre-order it from a supplier.

Clear leaf mulch in garden

$150

Littlehampton SA 5250, Australia

16th May 2025

I need leaves and twigs collected from my front garden into big bags so we can drop off at the tip. I usually do this myself but am busy. It will take about 4-5 hours. This is a get down on hands and knees to pull twigs out from under bushes type task, so don't apply if you are not flexible enough to do this or have bad knees. Rakes, scooper, gloves, bags etc will be provided. I had an occasional gardener who left bcse he finished uni and have lost control of the garden situation! If you can show that you are a hard worker and can follow instructions of what needs doing, there will be a lot more work for you ongoing. I don't need someone to come once a week and do an hour, we do our own mowing etc. I need someone to come and stay most of the day and keep coming back until all autumn/winter jobs are done. Our outdoor area also needs throughly cleaning, decobwebbing etc on a regular basis. There's also pruning and deadheading that can be done. We are on 800m2 block so the back garden is bigger than listed but for initial task, it is just the front. Type of gardening: Garden cleanup Size of garden: 50m²-100m² Has green waste bin: Yes
