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.

Hi there, We’re looking for a landscaper for a pretty basic job in Bentleigh East. We’ve received a quote which I’ll leave a photo of below for reference on what needs to be done. To clarify, we are selling our house and need the following done to fix up the front yard and make it look exactly like it previously did. Current grass trimmed back as far as possible, new soil laid on top and then new grass laid on top. We don’t want exisiting soil/grass dug up and removed as this will cost more. We want white pebbles lining the outside of the grass (as pictured). This is what our front landscaping looking like but it’s all grown out/over and needs to be redone. The side trees the line the front driveway have mulch around them, this needs to be tidied up with some new mulch added. This is a townhouse and our neighbour wants their garden done too. So you would the chance at doing a second job. So to clarify, we basically want the front landscaping to look as it was (pictured below). Needing this done ASAP. Thank you!

We’re installing a concrete slab in our backyard so need the area dug out in preparation: Job includes: 1. Dig out 8m x 5m section of backyard approx 100mm deep (approx 2.5-3 cubic meters of soil). 2. Wheelbarrow removed soil to skip located in front yard. Notes: - Access down sideway of house (about 20m) is only wide enough for wheelbarrows, no machinery. Wheelbarrow and shovels provided. - I will supply skip bin but if you can dispose of soil yourself, happy for you to quote extra price for soil removal. - Stringlines/pegs will be set out to help get rough idea of level. - Don’t require 100mm dug out for the whole area. Due to the slope in the yard some areas just need just the grass removed.

Artificial Grass Installation

$400

Bentleigh VIC 3204, Australia

10th Mar 2025

I’m looking for someone to help install brand-new artificial grass at my property as soon as possible. Job Details: The area that needs to be covered is roughly 13.3 meters in length, with the widest section measuring 2.3 meters and the narrowest section measuring 1.3 meters. I have purchased brand-new 40mm thick artificial grass, which is big enough to cover the intend area. In addition, I have also bought: •Joining tape for securing the grass at the seams. •U-pins (or turf pegs) to hold the grass in place. •A weed membrane (or protective underlay) to be laid underneath the grass. I understand the installation will possibly require multiple joins, which is fine with me, as long as they are done neatly and securely. Tasks Include: 1. Removing the existing natural grass. 2. Supplying and laying necessary materials, including crushed stone and sand, to level the surface. 3. Hiring any required equipment for proper leveling. 4. Replacing the existing garden edge. The current edge is made of plastic; I prefer to replace it with durable wooden edging to enhance stability and achieve a cleaner look. 5. Clearing the area after installation. While I have a green bin available for some waste, any remaining rubbish should be removed by the installer. Access Information: The area can be accessed through the garage, with a standard door leading to the space. If you have experience with similar projects and can do the job as soon as possible, please get in touch with a quote. Looking forward to hearing from you!
