Questions to Ask Your Tradie
• Do you include disposal of grass cuttings in the price
• Are you insured for third‑party damage and public liability and can you supply proof
• What equipment will you bring and will it fit through the gate or down steps
• Do you charge extra for long/overgrown grass, slopes or safety considerations
• Will you need access to electricity or water and do you require a parking space close by
• Can you provide a written quote and confirm any extras in advance
How to Avoid Surprises
• Ensure gates and paths are clear so equipment can reach the back garden
• Tell the tradie about steep slopes, hidden steps, ponds or trip hazards before they arrive
• Confirm parking arrangements near the property to avoid delays or extra call‑out fees
• Move toys, pots and garden furniture off the lawn or mark fragile items clearly
• Let the team know about pets and keep them secured on the day
• Check for any estate or council rules on green waste or noise before booking
