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
