Questions to Ask Your Tradie

• are you insured for public liability and for working at height

• will you check for nesting birds or protected species before cutting

• do you expect to need scaffolding or a cherry picker and how is that charged

• how will cut material be disposed of and is waste removal included in the quote

• will you provide a written quote and timescale for follow‑up control or repair work

• do you use herbicide for regrowth control and what precautions do you take for neighbours and pets

How to Avoid Surprises

• clear access to work areas and move garden furniture or cars from driveways

• check for bird nesting season (typically March–August) and delay work if nests are active

• confirm parking or permit arrangements for any vehicle or scaffold needed

• let the tradie know about nearby power lines, underground services or fragile roof coverings

• secure pets and notify neighbours if work affects shared boundaries
