Dig Trench in flower bed
$350
Northbridge NSW, Australia
15th Jul 2024
We are looking for someone to dig out the soil from our flower bed so that we can prepare to plant a hedge. Please see photos attached of the flowerbed. Â The dimensions of the flowerbed are 8.0m long x 0.9m wide x 0.3m deep. There is some bedrock down one end of the space, so the total dig will be a little less than these dimensions and you will need to dig around the rock. Â The soil is to be placed on a tarp on the concrete block next to the flower bed, see photo. Â You will need to bring your own tools, we have a shovel you can borrow but it is not very large.


Sonny was fantastic ! Will be using his services in the future. Highly recommend.

There is a small garden area in my backyard, and I need someone to come and dig up a trench that is about 3-4m long, 40cm wide and 40cm deep so that I can plant things there. There is a lot of old mulch and roots in the soil that need to be removed from the property, so you will need a wheelbarrow and a trailer to take away the organic matter.

In the photo, the trench will be against the back wall - Due date: Needs to be done on Wednesday, 23 August 2023
