What does landscaping include?

When you book your landscaper, it’s important to let them know in your task exactly what work you need to be done - from simple maintenance services to a complex landscape design for your outdoors. That way, they’ll be able to make you a fair offer and bring along the right tools for the job. 

Not sure where to start? If you need a range of general landscaping services, grab a notepad and pen, then go for a wander outside. Make a note of anything that needs tidying up, trimming, or removing. Then make sure you include these tasks in your listing. 

Another way to think about your landscaping is to break it down by the type of specialised skill or service you need, such as installing a water feature or irrigation system, designing garden beds, or planning the landscape of your pool area. Here are some of the jobs you might give to your landscaper and what you can expect to happen during the process.

Planning

When you’re undertaking a BIG change, it’s important to lay the groundwork with some planning first. A garden designer will help come up with ideas and map everything out on paper before you get started on your garden space makeover. Or you might hire a landscape architect to plan a larger commercial landscaping project in your local community or public outdoor space.

Earth and rocks

Don’t break your back over your backyard landscaping - no matter how little or how much you need to do. You can hire earthmoving contractors to do your trench digging, levelling, and even your pool excavation or boring excavation. They’ll bring the all tools and equipment needed to dig and move the earth so you (literally) don’t have to get your hands dirty.

Gardens

Planning a nice new garden bed to grow your own veggies, flower beds, shady trees, or just want to reduce the amount of ground you have to mow in your yard? Get some help with your garden landscaping and garden edging to get the project off your to-do list and done sooner. That way, you can get on with the fun bit in landscaping - planting!

Water

Where there are plants, there’s water. Make sure your plants get water when they need it (without having to remember to hose) with a drip irrigation system or a sprinkler system installation. Or make your garden more beautiful with a garden pond or water features. Either way, getting your water systems sorted is so much quicker and easier with an extra pair of hands or a landscaper near you who knows what they’re doing.

Trees

Trees are wonderful things, but sometimes, a tree’s gotta go. If you’re not experienced, you should never do chainsawing, stump grinding, wood chipping and mulching, or land clearing yourself. That’s something you should leave up to an experienced landscaper with the right equipment and background to get the job done properly and safely. 

Building and installations

A big component of landscaping is installing things to make your space more functional and beautiful. Things like retaining walls, artificial grass installation, landscape lighting, or even garden benches to sit on. It’s always best to get a landscaper to help when it involves heavy lifting or specialist equipment. Garden landscapers can help you get your installations done safely and help you start enjoying your space much sooner.

Landscaping Front Yard

$3,000

Mulgrave VIC, Australia

28th Jun 2025

Landscape front yard The front yard currently has the following: - Old concrete path (happy to keep if required) - Patchy grass - Rocks laid across half the yard - Plants that have been pulled out or are dead - White fence Looking to overhaul the current yard with landscaping that requires lower on-going maintenance. I'm flexible with timing.

Remove old garden bed sleepers and move rocks.

$100

Cranbourne VIC 3977, Australia

28th Jun 2025

I need some help clearing out part of my backyard. Job includes: Dig up and remove 6 old rotten sleepers still in place (currently bolted together – I have a ratchet tool to undo them easily)2 small bolts per join. Move these sleepers plus another 6 that are already dug up into my driveway (~25m away) Move a pile of good red gum sleepers (already cut into manageable chunks) into the driveway as well. Move some star pickets to the driveway. Move volcanic rocks from around a small fish pond to the front yard (~35m away). You’re welcome to take any rocks you’d like, as I’ll be listing them for free on Marketplace. Notes: The ground is very soft at the moment so digging is easy, just need to pull away some dirt and grass. I have shovels, wheelbarrows, and other tools you may need for the job. Access is straightforward through the side gate. Ideally looking for someone to do this weekend.

Ron got here fast, was friendly and efficient. Couldn't be happier.

Site level

$300

Cranbourne VIC 3977, Australia

27th Jun 2025

I need someone with a Kanga, Dingo, or similar small earthmoving equipment to level an area approximately 6m x 7m in my backyard. Details: Access is via my carport, with a gate clearance of 2m high. There is a narrow space to get past an avocado tree which must not be damaged. The area was previously occupied by garden beds (sleepers will be fully removed before your arrival). Most of the soil has already been taken out, and the ground is fairly flat, but it needs to be completely level for the installation of new wicking beds that will be connected. If the ground isn’t perfectly level, the water distribution in the beds will be affected. There may be a small amount of excess dirt to remove from site, but it will be minimal. Photos: I’ve included a photo showing the area before the old beds were removed to give you an idea of the space. I have also shown the access route. Please comment with your experience, equipment type, and availability. Thank you

Help Build Garden Beds and light Carpentry work -also random type work

$400

Hallam VIC, Australia

20th May 2025

Hey!! We are completing a renovation project and have just had the front and rear gardens lightly scraped back and ready for garden beds. Nothing fancy - just length of treated pine plinth so we can plant out and fill with bark or mulch. Doesn't need to be spectacular - but looking for a neat finish to help tidy the garden up. There are 3 x Areas. The front yard, the side and the rear. We will supply ALL timber and material - but just needing a hand getting it looking nice. Also - on the side/underneath the deck in the rear - it is open/exposed and we wouldn't mind either plinth or decking applied to the wall to hide this part underneath the deck. All in all - just needing a helping with some very basic landscaping. Allocating $400 for the day - I couldn't imagine it taking longer than 5-6 hours tops as the plinth is in spans of 5.4m You'll need to use own tools - house is vacant/unattended so looking for someone to help just get it done - and get it done right.

Fantastic work Brice! Came along with a Can-do attitude and really helped get the job done… even when I changed up what I needed! Highly recommend!!! Thanks again

Labourers required to move mulch and soil

$5

We require 2 labourers to shift 3m³ of mulch and 3m³ of soil. Mulch on one day and soil on another due to delivery logistics. All wheelbarrows, shovels and gloves will be supplied.
