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.

Complete Backyard Landscaping - Levelling, Planter Boxes and Grass

$5

Deanside VIC, Australia

28th Aug 2024

Hello, I am seeking quotes for completing the landscaping of my backyard. The task involves labour and effort estimation, with the possibility of future front yard work based on performance. Task Details: Backyard Dimensions: Approximately 13 metres x 14 metres, with an existing 3x3 shed (as shown in the photo). Plantation Boxes: Construct 600 mm wide plantation boxes along the back and right sides of the property (400 mm high). The boxes should be reinforced both internally and externally. Fill the boxes with quality soil. Levelling and Grass Preparation: Level the remaining area of the backyard. Prepare the soil and lay natural grass across the levelled area. Sleeper Box: Construct a 300 mm wide sleeper box along a 15-metre stretch, to be prepped for pot plants. Rock Bed: Level a 20-metre stretch with a 300 mm wide box next to the fence and fill it with decorative rocks. Additional Requirements: The landscaper is responsible for providing a detailed list of required materials and offering recommendations on the best options. All necessary tools, including a bobcat, should be provided by the landscaper. Removal of one section of the back fence will be required to allow access for the bobcat and soil delivery. The job needs to be completed as soon as possible. Note: Depending on the quality and efficiency of work completed in the backyard, there is potential for additional work on the front yard. Please feel free to ask any questions or request further details. Thanks, Tejas Type of gardening: Other Size of garden: 150m²-300m² Has green waste bin: Yes
