Where’s the job?

Scope of Works

• Clear designated beds and remove dead plants, weeds and surface debris

• Remove turf or old shrubs where agreed and prepare area for replanting

• Improve soil by forking, adding compost/topsoil and grading as needed

• Remove green waste and leave site tidy; wear PPE and manage soil/compost safely

Typical Cost

Time on Site

Most small replant jobs (one or two beds or a small front garden) take 3–6 hours; larger projects or whole‑garden replanting typically take 1–2 days depending on crew size and soil condition

Questions to Ask Your Tradie

• Do your price and any call‑out include clearance and green waste disposal

• Are plants, compost and mulch included or charged separately and can I choose suppliers

• What guarantee do you give on planting and do you offer a follow‑up visit for failures

• How many people will be on site and what time will you arrive and finish

• Will you need access to water or mains power and where should I park for deliveries

• How do you handle unexpected finds (large roots, contaminated soil, hidden services) and additional costs

How to Avoid Surprises

• Confirm exact access, parking and delivery point for soil and plant drop‑offs

• Agree which plants and sizes are supplied so you know material costs in advance

• Decide beforehand who removes green waste and where it will be left for collection

• Point out underground services and fragile paving to avoid accidental damage

• Let the team know about pets and secure garden gates to keep crew safe

• Check any communal or leasehold rules if working on a shared space or front garden
