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.

I am having 10 metres of mulch delivered. It needs to be moved around the garden, about 20m from pile to where it needs to go. It then needs to be spread out. Need to move some rocks before we lay the mulch. Probably best to have at least two to three people. I know the budget might not get it finished but I need to get the bulk of it spread so I can finish it myself over a couple of weeks.

Spread 17m3 of Mulch around Garden - Landscaping

$800

Westlake QLD, Australia

10th Jul 2025

Getting 17m3 of mulch delivered and would need some strong workers to get the mulch moved around the property and spread out. 2/3 of the mulching is straightforward with flat access for wheelbarrows to get the mulch around. 1/3 of the mulching is at a lower level of the property which involves carrying either the wheelbarrows down the steps or some smaller bins. I purchased 2 x 75L plastics bins from Bunnings if it helps. Attached a few images of the property with a map of the block, indicating in "red" where the much would be dropped off and the "bright green" lines where the mulch has to go. We would like this get done on Thursday the 17th July or Friday the 18th July if possible. Any questions, please feel free to ask for more info.

Not surprised Tito received so many 5 star reviews. Tito and his team did a fantastic job. Great communication, punctual, completed the job detailed and left the site clean. I would highly recommend using his service.
