Where’s the job?

Scope of Works

• Mow lawn and tidy edges

• Clear leaves, sweep paths and unblock drains/gullies where safe to do so

Typical Cost

Time on Site

Most routine front or back garden maintenance visits take 1–4 hours depending on garden size and condition; larger clearances, turfing or planting can take a full day or more. Factors that extend time include heavy overgrowth, high volumes of green waste, restricted access, poor weather and the need for specialist plant or multiple operatives

Questions to Ask Your Tradie

• Are you insured for public liability and accidental damage

• What does the call‑out fee cover and how do you charge for time over the minimum

• Do you supply plants, turf and materials or should I provide them

• Will you remove green waste and how is disposal charged

• Do you need water or electricity on site and where should I arrange access

• What PPE and measures do you use for ticks, sharp tools and safe working at height

How to Avoid Surprises

• Ensure clear access and a nearby parking space for the van or small plant

• Point out hidden services, sprinkler systems and boundary lines before work starts

• Secure pets and children away from the work area

• Agree green waste removal method and any skip or tipping charges in advance

• Confirm if working‑at‑height equipment or permits are needed for tall hedges or trees
