Question 1

How much do gardeners typically charge?

Accepted Answer

Gardening costs vary depending on the job type, the size of the area and whether plants or materials are supplied. Regular maintenance visits are generally less expensive per visit than one-off tidy-ups or planting work, and after-hours or urgent jobs usually attract higher rates. The live pricing shown on this page reflects current call-out and labour rates for your area.

Question 2

Do gardeners charge call-out fees?

Accepted Answer

Many gardeners charge a call-out fee to attend your property, which is typically separate from hourly labour and materials. For smaller jobs this fee is often factored into a minimum charge, and after-hours attendance is commonly billed at a higher rate.

Question 3

What qualifications should I look for in a gardener?

Accepted Answer

Gardeners don't usually require a government-issued licence in Australia. Instead, look for industry memberships or recognised credentials from bodies such as Greenlife Industry Australia, the Australian Institute of Horticulture, Hort Innovation, and state landscaping associations like QALI, LIAV, LIAWA and LASA, which indicate industry training or professional affiliation.
