    Phil came and installed 2 wicking beds for me. They're really fabulous. 🤩 I’m so happy with them and with Phil! He did such a great job, from helping me decide the best place to put them, , and then building and filling them. I would highly recommend Phil and his wicking beds to anyone thinking about getting them. It's going to make growing my vegetables so much easier and also cheaper with the saving on water. Thanks Phil!😄

    Phil did a great job installing 4 wicking beds at our home in Castlemaine. He adapted his design to our space and joined the beds together to create 2 large beds that shared a reservoir. Communication was great and he arrived and installed them on the agreed date. He checked back in a number of times to ensure they were working and that there were no leaks. The wicking beds are already producing lots of beautiful produce and friends have commented on how great they look. Thanks Phil!

    The install was fantastic, professional, and hassle-free. Thanks to Phil’s incredible soil mix, we’ve grown amazing vegetables with ease. He was an absolute pleasure to deal with: friendly, knowledgeable and knows a thing or two about gardening. The wicking beds were ready to go straight away. Just add your seeds or seedlings and you’ll be enjoying fresh, homegrown veggies in no time. Highly recommended!

    Earlier this year I had 2 wicking planter boxes installed by Phil. I was more than happy with the boxes, price and service. I now rarely have to buy vegetables as I find the 2 boxes provide more than enough for 1 person. Highly recommended.

Gardening costs & guides

Frequently asked questions

How much do gardeners typically charge?
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.
Do gardeners charge call-out fees?
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.
What qualifications should I look for in a gardener?
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.
