Who is asking and the timing are inferred from the request by Carevo's classifier, and timing is described in the past tense once a request is more than 30 days old.

What gardener pay looks like

| Weekday | $27 to $32 an hour |
|---|---|
| Saturday | $40 to $48 an hour |
| Sunday | $53 to $63 an hour |
| Public holiday | $66 to $79 an hour |
Casual employees receive a 25% loading on top of these rates (often quoted as roughly $34 to $40 an hour for ordinary casual hours).
How that compares, as of 1 July 2026
$36.22–$40.49
an hour · SCHADS Award minimum, Level 2–3 full-time (Fair Work pay guide)
$73.58
