Top Gardening related questions
A gardener is an expert in caring for gardens, including plants, lawns, weeding, pest control, and yard work. They help with any gardening tasks, from planting new garden beds and lawn mowing to maintaining existing ones. They take charge of regular garden maintenance, so the flora in your property remains beautiful all year round.Â
Hiring a professional gardener will give you the best result for your gardens while saving you time. Professionals use smart tools combined with years of experience to take the best care of your plants and gardens. Their landscaping and garden care know-how can give you peace of mind that your plants are in good hands.Â
Gardeners don’t need specific qualifications, but they may have completed studies in horticulture or landscaping. However, your gardener will need good knowledge, experience working with plants, and a reasonable physical fitness level.
Most gardeners will bring their own equipment, including lawnmowers, whipper snippers, leaf blowers, and safety gear. But some gardeners prefer to use the equipment provided at your home. It’s best to check with your gardener to see their approach, so you’re both prepared.
Weekly gardening maintenance and lawn mowing on a regular-sized suburban block may take anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 hours. But if you need a major gardening service or have a larger block, you can expect your gardener to need more time.
You can expect to pay between $50-$200 when you hire a gardener through Airtasker. More complex gardening work can cost more. But the cost will depend on what tasks you need to do, your location, the size of your property, and how long the gardening will likely take. Be sure to provide all the necessary information about the task to set the right expectation when booking a Tasker.
Top Pruning related questions
Start by cleaning your shears with water and a brush. Dry off the shears, then use sandpaper to remove any traces of rust. Next, file the shears using a diamond hand file. Make sure to hold the blades away from your body and use single smooth strokes. Finally, remove the burrs (thin metal folds) that have formed, then apply lubricant. You can also book a local sharpening specialist to do all this for you!Â
Start by removing any rust from the shears. You can do this by soaking the shears overnight in white vinegar. Then, mix warm water with dish soap or bathroom cleaner and scrub the dirt away using steel wool or a wire brush. You can also dismantle the shears to clean them thoroughly. Then, rinse the shears and dry them with a towel.Â
Some pruning basics include:Â
Never prune in late summer or fallÂ
Remove around 1/3 of the plant’s growthÂ
Cut just above a branch or budÂ
Don’t cut flush with the bark or branchÂ
Don’t do stub cutsÂ
Prune regularlyÂ
The rules of pruning may vary from case to case, and there are many guidelines to consider. If you aren’t 100% sure about what you’re doing, it’s best to leave your plants to an experienced pruning specialist.
If done correctly, pruning helps and does not harm trees. This is because proper pruning can help a tree’s structural integrity and lessen the risk of falling branches. But beware of over-pruning your trees, as this can stress, damage, and eventually kill your plant or tree. You can avoid risks like these by getting an experienced pruning specialist to work on your plants.Â
The ideal time to prune trees can vary. It’s usually best to prune your trees and shrubs during the late autumn or winter months. Plants are typically dormant during this period, making them less prone to pests and disease. However, some shrubs and trees may also need to be pruned in the summer. You can check with a local pruning specialist if it’s the right time of year to prune back excess growth.Â
Some Taskers may be skilled in both pruning and weeding tasks. If you need someone who can do both, please specify this detail in your task post. Then, you may confirm with a Tasker whether they have the necessary skills and tools. Alternatively, you may create a separate request for weeding services near you.
Top Garden Cleaning related questions
Cleaning a garden is a pretty simple and straightforward process. Most garden cleaning jobs can take anywhere between two to four hours, with the exact time varying depending on the size of your garden and the scope of work. If you want to know how long your service will take, you can ask your Tasker, and they'll gladly give you a rough estimate.

What do gardening services include?
Gardening services range from basic mowing and maintenance to full landscape gardening help. Here are some of the most common gardening services near you and what you can expect from each when you hire a gardener:
Garden maintenance & lawn mowing
Regular garden maintenance is important to keep your property neat, under control, and looking its best. Whether you need a one-off tidy-up, maintenance while you’re away on holiday, or regular upkeep, a gardener can help.
Lawn mowing will start by clearing the area with a general garden tidy-up. Then your gardener will mow all grass areas, including your front and back lawn and footpath. Then they’ll use the brushcutter to whipper snip any edges. Garden services can also include pruning your trees, trimming hedges, raking leaves, or clearing away garden debris.Â
Weeding & pest control
Gardens can struggle to flourish thanks to problems like weeds and pests that eat or crowd out your plants and lawn. Don’t worry - garden services can take care of this problem. As part of garden maintenance, local gardeners can help by weeding your lawn by hand or spraying lawns with herbicides that kill the weeds without affecting the type of grass you’re growing.
Your gardener will also work to prevent weeds in the future by mulching around plants over a layer of newspaper or cardboard so weeds can’t go through. Your gardener will treat unwanted pests using pesticides, tailoring the treatment to keep your home and garden free from spiders, caterpillars, cockroaches, and ants.
Garden planting
Need to fill out your garden bed or plant up a new section in your garden? Your gardener can help choose the right plants that will grow well in your garden. They’ll consider factors like optimum plant positioning, sunlight levels, moisture levels and rainfall, seasons, native vs. introduced species, maintenance needs, and more. They’ll choose plants for your garden that suit your landscaping design but also match the level of care and maintenance you (or your gardener) can provide.
Lawn restoration
If your lawn’s been overrun by weeds or it’s looking a bit dead or bare in patches, your gardener can help with law restoration, too. They can level out any holes, aerate to encourage healthy growth, add nutrients, spread the correct seed variety, and adjust the pH of your soil.
They’ll choose the right variety of lawn to lay turf or seed your lawn. Finally, they’ll water it all in, ensuring you know proper lawn care measures between visits, or set up irrigation for daily automatic watering.
