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 Quote Request – Front Yard Gravel Parking Area

$10

Ferntree Gully VIC 3156, Australia

24th Oct 2026

Hi there We're looking for a landscaper to help us complete our front yard landscaping in Ferntree Gully. We've already installed new fencing and completed some DIY gravel landscaping, but have decided to redo the gravel area and extend it to create a space suitable for parking a car. We're looking for someone to undertake the following work: **1. Removal and preparation** - Remove the existing small pink/peach gravel (approximately 8mm). - Remove the existing weed membrane. - Remove the remaining grass and vegetation. - Excavate soil to the depth required for a properly constructed vehicle parking area. - Remove and dispose of unwanted soil, vegetation and materials. **2. Groundwork and foundations** - Prepare and level the area, maintaining appropriate drainage away from the house. - Supply and install a suitable compacted crushed-rock road base to support vehicle parking. - Install appropriate geotextile separation fabric where required. - Compact the base and prepare for the decorative gravel. **3. Edging and retaining** - Assess whether a small retaining wall or substantial reinforced edging is required due to the existing slope. - Supply and install edging suitable for retaining gravel and withstanding vehicle use. - Ensure the finished area integrates neatly with the existing driveway (level for a car to easily drive onto) **4. New gravel** - Install approximately 20mm warm white mixed decorative stone across the prepared area. - We've sourced the decorative stone ourselves (https://www.gardengear.com.au/product/20mm-white-ice-pebbles/) but require assistance ordering correct amount **5. Finishing** - Leave the area level, stable and suitable for parking a standard passenger vehicle. - Clean up and remove construction waste. We're looking to arrange a site inspection and have attached photos of the area. Thanks

Absolutely fantastic experience from start to finish! Such a lovely, hardworking and professional team who genuinely take pride in their work. They were friendly, reliable, easy to communicate with and went above and beyond to make sure everything was completed to a high standard. Also left everything immaculate - total legends!

Backyard re-mulching – approx. 4 m³ over 3–4 visits

$10

Ringwood North VIC 3134, Australia

7th Oct 2026

Backyard re-mulching – approx. 4 m³ over 3–4 visits I’m looking for someone to supply and spread regular garden mulch throughout the garden beds in my backyard in Ringwood North. I estimate around 4 cubic metres in total, covering approximately 80 m² at a depth of ~70-100 mm. The actual quantity and depth can be confirmed after reviewing photos or inspecting the site. I’d like the work completed over 3–4 separate visits, ideally around 1 cubic metre at a time, rather than having all 4 cubic metres delivered at once. This will avoid a large pile outside the house and minimise daily-life disruption. Timing is flexible, so this could suit someone fitting smaller jobs around their existing schedule. Please quote an all-inclusive price by "per cubic metre", covering mulch supply, delivery, moving it into the backyard and spreading it. If weeding, weed treatment or other preparation is needed, please include this in your rate and explain what is covered. Please also specify the type of mulch you would supply. The listed budget is a placeholder, as the final scope and price may need to be confirmed after a site inspection. I’m happy to provide more photos and access details. Please include your price per cubic metre and estimated total for 4 cubic metres across the separate visits. PS. I’m familiar with mulch prices per cubic metre, as many garden suppliers publish them. I’d prefer you to include your labour in an all-inclusive price per cubic metre, rather than charge by the hour or task, as that makes it easier for me to understand and calculate the total cost. Thank you. Type of gardening: Garden cleanup, Other Size of garden: 50m²-150m² Has green waste bin: Yes
