Recent Garden Planting reviews in West Melbourne

I couldn’t be more pleased with Paul and the work he undertook to remove some very tough bamboo that had been growing in my yard for over 10 years. Paul was punctual, extremely professional, and well prepared to tackle the task. I would highly recommend Paul and I would definitely use his services again.

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.

Driveway Strip Renovation: Plant Removal & Pebble Laying

$10

Braybrook VIC 3019, Australia

2nd Apr 2026

​I am looking for a reliable person to renovate a dirt strip between two driveways (as seen in the photo). The goal is to create a clean, low-maintenance area that prevents weed growth and provides a solid grounding. ​Scope of Work: ​Plant Removal: Remove the existing hedging plants/shrubs at the top of the strip (near the house wall). Please ensure the roots are pulled to prevent regrowth. I intend to plant small shrubs here later, so the soil just needs to be cleared and leveled. ​Surface Prep: Clear the weeds/dead grass from the dirt strip and level the ground. ​Weed Prevention: Lay a high-quality, heavy-duty weed mat/geotextile fabric across the entire strip. ​Pebble Installation: Supply and lay pebbles (or similar aggregate). ​Note: The strip has a slight slant. I need a solution to ensure the pebbles stay in place and don’t wash away or slide down onto the pavement (e.g., using a stabilizer grid, a specific type of angular rock that locks together, or a small timber/metal edge at the bottom).

Allan did a fantastic job renovating the sloped dirt strip between my driveways. He removed the old hedging plants and roots, then cleared the weeds to create a clean base. To handle the slant, he expertly installed a weed mat and a stabilized the pebbles perfectly in place. The result is solid, low-maintenance, and looks professional. Allan was punctual, tidy, and highly skilled. I’m very happy with the transformation! Highly recommend!

Anthony was difficult to deal with due to his poor communication. An example is not turning up to quote on the day he said he would which makes it hard to manage tenants. Additionally I was trying to match a screening tree & he sent me a fruit tree, it clearly wasn’t this tree. After agreeing to a fixed amount he then added additional cost without asking me prior to the spend, blowing my budget. His work is good when he gets job done.
