Find an experienced garden planting specialist in Melbourne

Hi there - looking for someone with solid plant knowledge (ideally horticulture or experienced gardening background) to assess and help stabilise a few potted balcony plants, particularly a Japanese maple that’s recently shown signs of stress. I’ve already done an initial rehydration and moved it into a more protected position, but would really value an expert eye to: – Assess overall plant health and root condition – Advise on whether any further repotting or intervention is needed – Light pruning if appropriate – Provide guidance on positioning (sun/wind) and ongoing care – General check of other balcony plants (incl. monstera – staking/positioning, and overall care advice) This is more about plant health and ongoing care guidance rather than general gardening or landscaping. Ideally looking for someone confident with potted trees / Japanese maples. Located in Collingwood. Flexible on timing over work hours. Thanks! Type of gardening: Other Size of garden: Under 50m² Has green waste bin: No

On my outside balcony, I have a planter box filled with palms that I need disposed of the thing is you’re going to have to dispose of them through the house and down the stairs so I need somebody who can do it and create as little mess as possible. I need this job done before 4 pm today! Honestly, it’s not a very big job at all. It’s easy fast money. All I need is for the area to be left clean and no dirt to be tracked through my house and for the plants to be disposed of.

I'm looking for someone with gardening and basic carpentry experience to help plant climbing vines along my timber fence on the deck/entertaining area. What's involved: The deck runs along a timber paling fence (approx. 6–8m long). The deck board closest to the fence will need to be carefully removed to allow planting of vines in the soil beneath (the gap between the deck and the fence base is visible in the photos, with the drop off approx 30cm). Piping connected to a nearby tap already exists but assistance with extending this will also be needed. Once the vines are planted and positioned, the deck board will need to be refitted and screwed back down neatly. The vines themselves I can either supply or happy to discuss options with you. I'd also like the vines tied or trained onto the fence palings to get them started. Specific tasks: Carefully unscrew and remove the deck board closest to the fence Prepare the soil underneath (loosen, add compost if needed — or advise what's required) Plant climbing vines at appropriate spacing along the fence line Train and loosely tie the vines to the fence to encourage upward growth Extension of preexisting watering piping Refit and screw the deck board back into place
