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.

Careful Garden Weeding, Path Mulching & Tidy Up
$150
Kew VIC 3101, Australia
19th Oct 2026
I am looking for a reliable and careful gardener to help tidy up my backyard in Kew. My garden is quite full of delicate potted plants and flowers, so this job requires careful hand-weeding rather than using a whipper snipper. Main Tasks: 1. Weeding & Tidying: Carefully hand-pull weeds across the garden without damaging the surrounding potted plants and nursery stock. 2. Path Setup: There is a very small dirt pathway between the plants. I need you to clear the weeds/grass from this path, lay down a weed mat, and spread mulch over it. (I have already purchased and will provide both the weed mat and the mulch). 3. Soil Loosening: If time permits, move aside some pots and loosen the soil in a few garden beds to prepare them for planting. What I will provide: Weed mat Mulch Green waste bin on site for disposal (Please let me know if you can take away the green waste for an extra fee) What you need to bring: Gardening gloves Hand weeding tools A spade or garden fork for soil loosening This looks like roughly 4 to 5 hours of work for one person. Please let me know your experience and when you are available. Thank you! Type of gardening: Weeding, Other, Garden cleanup Size of garden: 50m²-150m² Has green waste bin: Yes
