Where’s the job?

Scope of Works

• clear loose litter, leaves and surface debris from the pathway and parking space

• remove or cut back overgrown weeds and vegetation including roots and edging growth

• sweep and clear loose gravel, moss and detritus; use a power brush or pressure washer if requested

• lift and re-bed a small number of loose paving slabs or block pavers and re‑compact joints where needed

• remove and responsibly dispose of green waste, rubble or contaminated material and leave the area tidy

• report any larger defects (sinkage, drainage blockages, oil stains) and provide a separate repair quote

Typical Cost

Time on Site

Typical small path or single parking space clearing takes 2–6 hours; larger areas or heavy vegetation can take 1–2 days. factors that extend time include poor access, deep-rooted growth, structural repairs needed to paving or kerbs, time to dry after pressure washing, and waiting for skip or parking permissions

Questions to Ask Your Tradie

• does your quote include waste removal and any tip or skip fees

• what equipment will you use and will you need a water or electrical supply on site

• are you insured and do you hold a waste carrier registration for removing material

• can you provide a separate estimate for any paving or drainage repairs you find

• will you need a parking bay suspension or permits and who arranges these

• what chemicals do you use for weed control and are they safe for nearby planting and drainage

How to Avoid Surprises

• clear vehicles and personal items from the area so work can start straight away

• provide on‑site parking or organise a temporary parking suspension for the van and skip

• point out underground drains, cables and any previous repairs before work starts

• agree disposal route and skip/van costs in writing to avoid surprise charges

• secure pets and gates and let the tradie know about neighbour access or estate rules

• check whether the tradie will wear PPE and how they handle any contaminated waste
