What do levelling services include?
Yard levelling involves creating a smooth surface on your piece of land. It almost means the same as grading services, which refers to the sloping of a yard away from the foundation of a home. Both are important when you want to have a beautifully maintained lawn, and avoid soil erosion and other drainage problems in your garden space!Â
There are different methods to level or grade your yard depending on its natural grading, soil makeup, vegetation, and general needs. Here are the most common ways that you can expect from yard levelling and grading services near you:
Soil mixture installation
For this method, you may need to have your grass mowed first and detach your lawn as needed. When it’s ready, your Tasker can dig up the grass in the sunken area of the lawn. They can mix topsoil, sand, and compost and then use this soil mixture to fill the sunken areas and holes. Once done with filling out the holes and divots, your Tasker can cover your entire lawn with about 1/4 to 1/2 inches of the mix to even out the land. Keeping this layer thin is important because putting too much can choke your grass. Then, you can run your sprinklers and water your lawn to help the soil mixture settle in, filling air pockets and revitalising your property. Taskers can use a soil compactor and make sure the underlying remains compact and keep your new lawn flat.Â
Taskers can also offer sod installation to stimulate regrowth and make your lawn or yard look pristine again. You can use regular grass seed or topsoil for the aftercare, but it's better to ask if laying sods can be done, as well.
Bobcat machinery
When your Tasker uses a versatile piece of machinery like Bobcat for a garden levelling project, it allows them to scoop and move dirt easily. If you book yard grading near you, you may be required to put up barriers around the perimeter of your operation. When your space is ready, your Tasker can start using the Bobcat to shave off parts of your unlevel yard, starting at an area that is as level as possible. As your Tasker levels your yard, they can create benchmarks and check out its grading. If needed, they can adjust low spots with low soil, while the excess soil will be sent to the spoils pile. The Bobcat can still be used to tamp down the ground. Once done, your Tasker can call a dump truck to have the excess dirt removed.Â
Excavation
Booking yard grading services near you may not just involve filling holes into level the land, especially if you’re planning to build a structure on it. Your Tasker can first clear out vegetation and tree roots. Then, they can start digging holes to create low-lying areas using a bulldozer or backhoe to be involved. The dirt removed while your Tasker is digging can be used to back-fill around the new structure. Afterwards, the richer topsoil that was also removed can be used to overlay the fill dirt, so that grass and shrubbery can grow well on your newly-graded yard. Take advantage of this method to remove unwanted or contaminated soil if needed.

Dig up and remove soil and level the ground
$500
Ascot Vale VIC, Australia
13th Oct 2025
The job is on the side of the house, covering an area of approximately 5 m². As shown in the photos, part of the area has already been dug up. The soil needs to be removed to a depth of at least 10 cm to be at the correct height to enable bricks to be laid. Once the soil has been removed, sand will need to be spread out and compacted down, sloping away from the house towards the fence ready for the bricks to be laid. Please note this job doesn't involve laying the bricks. The area should be dug right up to the existing house and fence without disturbing or damaging the house or fence, or the pipes that run along the house. Please refer to the photos showing what soil has been removed to date. All the excavated material needs to be removed from the site. Some soil has already been bagged in bags, which will also need to be taken away. There are about 10 bags that have soil in them and will need to be removed as well as the soli that is dug up. Access: There is side access to the area from the front of the property through a gate (shown in the photo with the bagged soil). This access is narrow and does not fit a wheelbarrow any wider than 60cm.

Move 3 potplants approximately 10 meters (outside on street level)
$60
Fitzroy VIC 3065, Australia
22nd Aug 2025
I need 3 large pot-plants repositioned - it will probably take 10-15 minutes max. The 3 pot plants need to be moved from the artificial grass area to around the corner (see picture) totalling approximately 10 meters (same ground level). To move the 3 pots, you will need a trolley with straps so the pots can be moved (preventing scratches or snapping of the cactus in one of the pots). They need to be moved with a trolley to be carefully pushed / or pulled up the street gutter. Please see the picture. In summary: The 3 pots (in the 3 red squares in the picture) just need to be moved from the artificial grass area and moved to the section with the other plants (the final positioning is not strict - anywhere along that skinny footpath is fine). The 3 pots need to be moved away from the artificial grass area. Thank you.
