Questions to Ask Your Tradie

 

• How will you dispose of the grass waste — local green waste centre, composting on site, or commercial disposal

• Do you include disposal fees in the quote or charge them separately

• How many operatives will attend and what equipment will you bring

• Do you have public liability insurance and a waste carrier registration if taking waste off site

• Will you need vehicle access, a skip permit or council permission for parking

• How do you handle mouldy or contaminated waste and will that incur extra charges

 

How to Avoid Surprises

 

• Clear a path and move fragile pots or furniture away from the work area

• Reserve a parking space or advise the tradie about parking restrictions and access to the property

• Tell the tradie about gates, steps, narrow access or low-hanging obstacles before the visit

• Confirm whether you want material composted on site or removed to avoid unexpected disposal fees

• Secure pets and remove children’s toys from the working area

• Check if you need a skip permit or permission for use of communal space and tell the tradie in advance
