Questions to Ask Your Tradie

• are you insured for public liability and for damage to property?

• what exactly is included in the price (edging, strimming, disposal)?

• do you charge extra for long or overgrown grass and for narrow access?

• who will carry out the work and do they follow safe working and PPE procedures?

• how will you dispose of green waste and is that included in the quote?

• do you need access to water or electricity at the property?

How to Avoid Surprises

• ensure gates and access routes are clear and unlocked

• move garden furniture, children’s toys and plant pots off the lawn

• secure pets and point out sprinkler heads, irrigation lines and buried services

• agree green waste disposal and any extra charges before work starts
