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.

Garden tidy up: hedge trimming, jasmine shaping, weeding and planting

$600

Glen Iris VIC 3146, Australia

12th Oct 2026

Looking for an experienced gardener to tidy up a medium sized backyard and side garden in Glen Iris. Budget shown is a placeholder, open to all quotes. The work is: 1. Trim the large hedges along the fence line flat on top and straighten the sides (one section is 3m plus with some dead growth poking out the top). 2. Shape and tidy the jasmine along the back fence, and refasten any runners that have come loose from the trellis and fence fixings. 3. Trim and straighten the jasmine growing on the brick wall beside the deck. Some of this is at height, so a ladder or platform is needed. 4. Weed and clear the flower beds (leaf litter, grass runners and weeds, including the beds beside the steps and along the side path). 5. Plant new plants in the cleared beds. Plants can be supplied by you or we can agree a list. 6. Remove all green waste. Optional extras, please quote separately if you can do them: cutting back the low tree branches overhanging the deck and clothesline, and stripping the ivy off the metal patio railing. Photos of each area to follow. Flexible on dates. Please quote for labour and green waste removal, and note separately if you'd supply the new plants.

Malvern East VIC 3145, Australia

9th Oct 2026

We’re seeking an experienced landscaper or small team to refresh our backyard in Malvern East and create a cohesive, lush and practical outdoor space. We want to retain the colourful fence mural and work with the existing layout Scope of work: 1. Deck and steps • Inspect boards and supports, repair or replace damaged timber. • Clean, prepare, sand as needed, then oil/stain the deck and steps for a consistent natural finish. 2. Lawn • Assess patchiness, including shade, soil and drainage. • Prepare, level and repair or replace with suitable natural turf. 3. Plants and garden beds • Weed, tidy and thin existing planting. • Retain suitable established plants and add cohesive, lush greenery suited to the conditions. • Simplify pots and use layered planting to soften the space. • Clean and refresh concrete planters; quote any repairs or refinishing. • Prioritise low maintenance and suitability for a young child and dog. 4. Lighting • Install warm, subtle lighting to highlight plants and the fence. • Include concealed lighting beneath the proposed bench and, where practical, the deck steps. • Include suitable outdoor fittings, concealed cabling and any required electrician. 5. Built-in bench • Build a timber bench beneath the mural between the concrete planters. • Incorporate the existing low concrete trough/base if suitable. • Match the deck finish and allow for concealed lighting underneath. Ideally, one person or team will manage the project and coordinate any additional trades. Please provide examples of similar work, availability and an indicative breakdown of labour, materials and rubbish removal, including exclusions and whether a site inspection is required for a firm quote. We’re open to staged options and suggestions, but want a cohesive finished backyard.
