What's in a good Gardening quote?

A good quote spells out how the job is priced and what's covered — labour, materials, prep and clean-up — so you're comparing like for like. Check what each gardener's quote covers before you choose.

Worth knowing: getting two or three quotes is the simplest way to land a fair price — and it costs you nothing.

01
Green waste removal
Whether clippings, weeds and prunings are taken away.
02
Task breakdown
Each job listed separately: mowing, pruning, weeding.
03

Species names, pot sizes, and mulch type and depth.
04
ABN and insurance
Both on the quote so you are covered.
05

Frequently asked questions

Hiring gardeners

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.

Is it cheaper to hire a Gardener or do it yourself in Prospect & Walkerville?

DIY can cut upfront costs on smaller jobs, but a professional brings the right tools, finish, and turnaround. Compare quotes from local gardeners in Prospect & Walkerville to see what the job is worth before you decide.

Do gardeners in Prospect & Walkerville do one-off jobs or regular visits?

Both — most gardeners in Prospect & Walkerville handle one-off jobs, and many also offer regular or scheduled visits, often at a better rate than booking each time. Compare local gardeners and ask what a regular plan includes before you book.
