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! 

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. 

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. 

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.

Basic Ground Levelling for Dome Structure 2 * 4.5 metre square areas

$700

Cheltenham VIC 3192, Australia

15th Nov 2024

We’re looking for someone with experience in ground leveling for a quick and straightforward job. We need two areas located near each other, each about 4.5 square meters (total 9 square meters), levelled so that we can lay down a single layer of plastic pallets. The ground just needs to be stable and level, as we plan to place dome structures on top of the pallets. The ground is already close to level, so this should be a simple task for someone with the right skills. We estimate about 16 pallets will fit across both areas. Requirements: Experience in basic ground leveling. Able to ensure a stable, flat surface for pallet placement. Let us know your availability, and we’ll discuss a time that works. Type of gardening: Other Size of garden: Under 50m² Has green waste bin: Yes

Edithvale, Victoria, 3196 Australia

My landscaper has left me high and dry. I need turf laid at 7am on 8th November. It has already been delivered. Final touch up if levelling required. A laser level is required for the job. 126m2. Everything is ready to go...just some spot levelling a then laying turf. I am looking for a qualified and experienced turf layer not just a labourer. This is an urgent task otherwise the grass will be very stressed by noon on Saturday. I am more than capable of helping once the soil is level and ready to lay the turf.

In a time of need, Andrew came to rescue. His work was precise and excellent. Highly recommended.

Hi Super easy job and probably about an hour of time for an experienced person I have a small courtyard area which is about 4m x 4m I need an experienced landscaper to help me get that area perfectly level so it’s ready to lay some turf I don’t need any soil added or removed it’s just getting the area flat and ready to go. I have had a go myself but can’t get it spot on. You must have some experience in doing this. I have some basic tools here but great if you have your own strong line, timber and levelling rake to get the job done right first time. Job ready to go. Thanks.
