About this landscaping referral service

Yes Right Pty Ltd (ABN 91 664 546 061) runs Mickleham Landscaping as a referral website for yard and garden jobs in Mickleham, Craigieburn, Kalkallo, Greenvale and Beveridge. It is set up around the work that comes up on estate lots in this part of Hume: a first front and back yard, boundary retaining walls, paths, turf and planting. You describe the yard, and an independent landscaping provider who covers the area reads it and decides whether to quote.

Yes Right Pty Ltd does not do landscaping. There are no landscapers on staff, no bobcats or excavators, no building registration and no depot in Mickleham. The site has no reviews or finished yards of its own to point to. The pictures show the type of work each guide covers, not yards built after an enquiry here.

How an enquiry moves from the form to a landscaper

1. On the quote form you give your suburb, how to reach you and what you want done to the yard.
2. Those details may go to an independent landscaping provider covering your part of Mickleham or the nearby suburbs, so that business can reply.
3. Before it decides to quote, the business may want photos of the ground, measurements of each area or a visit to the lot.
4. Accepting a quote creates an agreement between you and the provider, not with this website.

No provider is promised to be free, to reply by a certain time or to take on every yard. The form is not the right place for urgent or emergency work.

What sits with the landscaper, not this site

Price, contract, payment stages, materials, workmanship and warranty are all settled between you and the provider who quotes. The same goes for building permits, engineering, and any registration or insurance the work legally needs. Before signing, get a written scope that covers:

• the square metres of each lawn, bed, path or paved area
• products by name: turf variety, paver range, sleeper type and the plant list
• how the base, soil and drainage will be prepared
• whether rubble and excavated spoil leave the lot
• exclusions, and how any extra work gets priced

Registration checks for landscaping in Victoria

Whether the provider must be registered depends on the job. On its landscaping page, the Building and Plumbing Commission (BPC) says landscaping is domestic building work if it forms part of building or renovating a home, and that retaining structures and fencing generally count as domestic building work too. Once the contract price is above the threshold on that page, an appropriately registered building practitioner has to do the work, and above a higher figure domestic building insurance is required as well.

One registration class the Commission lists for this work is Domestic Builder (Limited to the construction of structural landscaping). Retaining walls have their own class, Domestic Builder (Limited to the construction of retaining walls). Before you sign, look the provider up on the Commission’s practitioner register by personal name, trading name or registration number. A water feature or drain that connects to mains water or stormwater is plumbing work, and that part needs a licensed plumber.

Also confirm the business’s ABN, ask whether it holds public liability insurance, and find out who will actually be working on your lot.

Where to start

For a house just handed over in one of Mickleham’s new estates, read new home landscaping first, then retaining walls if the lot steps down at a boundary and paving and paths for side paths and a patio. Those three are the jobs that come up most in the new estates. Published Melbourne price ranges and a checklist for comparing quotes are in the landscaping cost guide. When you know what you want, send the job details.
