Gardening digging trenches and holes
$500
Heritage Park QLD, Australia
30th Sep 2024
I need 2 trenches to be dug and put root barrier (provided) in at 50cm depth. Trench 1 is L shape, 6m/80cm Trench 2 is C shape 90cm/7m/90cm And need 12 holes to be dug for putting plants in later (no work for putting the plants in just digging the holes only) Hole size is 40cm wide and 40cm deep There are some tools you can use but if you have your own that would be great. More than one person is ok as I'd like the job done quick. Price is negotiable so make a reasonable offer. If we can get this done sometime this week that would be great.

Labourers Needed: Trench Digging for Garden Beds
$500
Carrara QLD, Australia
9th Jul 2024
We are looking for 2 reliable and hardworking labourers to help with digging trenches along 3 garden beds. The trenches need to be 10cm deep to plan for new landscaping, two smaller garden beds are mostly just dirt, the larger garden bed has soil that's a mix of dirt and small-med size rocks. You may encounter old weed matting and drainage which needs to be taken out. The two smaller garden beds will have plants and old roots needing to be taken out too. Some roots may be too deep and require stump grinder for you to assess. See photos. You'll be required to shovel loads through the mesh soil sifter into a wheelbarrow and keep the rocks separate for another project. This might be 1-2 days worth of work.
Fantastic advice and very hardworking pleasant guy! Thanks Steven

Garden trenching
$100
Coorparoo QLD, Australia
14th Jun 2024
Clear side garden bed and ready 6 holes for planting 25L plants. EDITS: Not truly digging a trench (details below). Prefer use of shovels / digging bars / maybe a small auger-like tool to heavier equipment and to be careful of sewer inspection point (details below). ALSO: 1. Updated with photos. Sorry for the original lazy post. The main photo is taken tonight. It shows there are 2 rosemary and some ground flowers to clear. 2. The Christmas Tree further to the back needs to be carefully removed and repotted. It has a bit of blue wood running the width of the trench next to it, to also be removed (it isn't tightly fitted.). This tree is about 1.3 meters tall. 3. All work of this needs to be respectful of the sewer inspection pipe visible in the other photos. I dug around it GENTLY and can see it is enclosed in cement/cement-like material. 4. Garden bed is about 6 meters x 0.7 meters. The six 25L bags need holes about 40cm diameter x 30cm deep where possible. 5. I will be helping with this task -- planning and labour. 6. Feel free to quote an hourly rate. 7. On the job, take (paid) breaks as you need. Type of gardening: Other Size of garden: Under 50m² Has green waste bin: No

Mini Excavator - level an area and dig a trench and more
$500
Mount Gravatt East QLD, Australia
1st Mar 2024
Got a bit ambitious with a DIY project and now keen to finish it off with some help. Corner of the block has a small hill. Plan is to level it a little and use concrete blocks (Linearwall) to build a 2 block high garden bed. Welcome any advice, thoughts on the steps currently: 1. Use mini excavator to level the area 6x4m (roughly 150mm or so deep) 2. Use mini excavator to dig a trench for 5x3m rectangle for blocks (another 150mm deep). 3. Back fill the trench with road base (located on the driveway) 4. Compact and lay blocks 5. Place the dirt back into the garden bed Notes: - Blocks haven't been ordered yet but can be organized before you come. - Please give me a quote for the first two steps only and then for everything. I will be there to assist as well and can bring a friend. - Side of the house has a 1.8m wide access, hope that's wide enough for a mini excavator. - The summer has got this place grown back with greens
Great to work with Thomas, happy to help with various things within the agreed timeframe and drives his excavator very well. Would hire him again
