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
• park within easy reach or confirm a parking space for the van
• 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
