Questions to Ask Your Tradie
• What exactly is included in the price and do you charge a call‑out fee?
• How will you dispose of green waste and are skip or haulage costs included?
• Do you use herbicides and can you provide the product details and safety data?
• Are you insured for public liability and do you carry waste carrier registration?
• Do you bring tools and a second person if needed for heavy clearing?
• Can you show references or photos of similar tidy and weed‑removal jobs?
How to Avoid Surprises
• Clear access and mark any buried services or sprinkler heads

• Tell the tradie about pets, ponds and areas you want left untouched
• Agree disposal method and any extra charges for heavy or contaminated waste
• Ask for a written quote that lists materials, labour and waste costs
