Accredited Landscaping and Gardening Services in Australia

Norwest, NSW, April 13, 2016 (Newswire.com) - An accredited landscaping and garden service provider ensures that the service provider is competent and meets standards specified for Australia. There are lots of immigrants these days who claim to have all sorts of gardening experience (and may well do), but knowing something about plants, or something about working with soil is just not good enough to create a garden or landscape that catches every visitors eye. Also, soil, weather and plants in Australia are not the same as say in Burma or Bangladesh.

The term “landscaping” either involves working with earth and installing garden ornaments and garden plants or; rearranging the topography of a selected area and may include construction of pergolas, retaining walls, ponds, fences etc.

In the former case, the service provider has to have a landscaping licence while in the latter case, he needs to possess a structural landscaping or restricted builders licence.

In some places in Australia a trade license is required depending on the financial scope of the work. In NSW for example, a landscaping licence is required for any work that costs over $200. In addition, if a retaining wall, paving work, a pergola and other outdoor structure is needed, a Structural Landscaping licence is required.

In Victoria, any work (including landscaping) valued at more than $5,000 requires a builders registration card. Registration with the Building Practitioners Board is the equivalent to a trade licence in other states. A landscaper in Victoria should hold a Domestic Builder -- Limited (DB-L) registration card with a further designation for the type of work they are authorised to carry out.

Australian laws apart, there is another and far more important reason why one might not want to hire unaccredited service providers for one's landscaping and Lawn Mowing Businesses for Sale NSW; there is more to gardening and landscaping than meets the eye.

Gardening is not just about knowing plants and what kind of nutrients they need. Gardening is also about knowing soil conditioning, mulching, and dealing with pests especially the Australian army worms, grubs, nematodes and the bill bugs.

Pruning is deceptively simple. But it involves know how to prune and how much one can prune without hurting the plant itself. It also about knowing how to plan a hedge and selecting the right type of hedge for one's location and one's property and also about knowing which plants and trees will look lovely in summer and which will look lovely in winter. One don't want one's garden to look good in only one particular season.
