Labourer to back fill 20m long trench
$360
Balhannah SA, Australia
14th Apr 2024
We need a labourer to backfill a 20m long trench with gravel/metal screenings over a layer of geofabric sheeting and a tube pipe. This will require someone to have their own trailer to collect the gravel from our local sand and soil supplier 8 km away. 2 tonne of soil in total is estimated for the job (might not need that much). The cost of this job is for labour and petrol for each trip to supplier and not materials (we will organise this separately). This needs to be done by Wednesday 17 April.
I need some trenches filled in with loam
$500
Burnside SA 5066, Australia
6th Mar 2024
Sorry to all who have replied, the council has to send another aborist to assess trees before we can do any work so time frame has probably pushed out significantly. We have a vac company making some trenches (to do root investigations). Yet to confirm date for this. The following day I will need a couple of laborers to refill the trenches with loam. Happy to pay per hour for time. I will post photos of the trenches once they have been done.

Trench digging

Melrose Park DC SA 5039, Australia
19th Jan 2023
I've received some feed back and so will try to improve my explanation: I need two French trench's dug in my garden and separate to that about 1.5 ton of dirt removed from the property. The trenches, 1 behind a 7 foot hedge(13mtrs) the other in front of the shed garden bed (7mtrs). I am thinking about 200wide x 400mm deep. But am open to recommendations. No access for machinery other than hand equipment. The dirt that needs removal is a) the over burden from the trenches and b) a pile at the back of the yard. -

Stepping stones through lawn and trench dug
$500
Adelaide SA, Australia
25th Apr 2021
Laying bluestone pavers/stepping stones (0.4mx0.6m) through a flat lawn to an outdoor courtyard. The length of the lawn to the courtyard is ~10.8m, each paver is 0.4m long and we are looking to alternate 0.4m of lawn between each paver i.e. 0.4m paver and then 0.4m lawn. 28 pavers to be laid in total, laying x2 wide. All materials supplied. Before the pavers are laid we also require a 500mm trench dug under where the pavers will be to run some conduit.
Unacceptable quality of work: Quite a simple job (laying stepping stones through a lawn area) however Daniel was unable to complete the job to a satisfactory standard. We had issues with the pavers (stepping stones) not being level, odd distances apart and uneven amount of base material underneath - which resulted in pavers lifting if you stepped on the wrong edge. My guess is Daniel believed this was a very easy task (albeit priced at $600 labour, which works out to 1.5 days according to Daniel’s day rate) and arrived to the job on a Friday afternoon which gave himself only half a day to finish. End result is the pavers he started on first are perfect, the ones he was working on in the dark are very poor. It’s not all negative - I can complement Daniel on his good communication and wanting to do the right thing - we settled on lowering the quote to 1/3 the original price (thank you for being flexible) and I’m in the process of arranging a professional landscape company to fix the job.

We have a 10 metre long trench which we dig to fill with soil for planting bamboo. It now need to be backfilled with approx 2.5m3 of compost and soil (already on site) (My husband started the job but now work is too busy and he can't find time to finish) There are then 8 bamboo which need to be planted in the trench (we can do or you can) There are also 2 planter boxes to be filled with soil which will hold 1 bamboo each. Would love to have job completed next week. Photos of trench, planter boxes and soil attached.
Brilliant job and fabulous communication. Thank you so much!!!
