Questions to Ask Your Tradie
• How often would you recommend visits for my lawn size and condition?
• Is fertiliser, weed control or overseeding included or charged extra?
• Do you remove green waste and how is it disposed?
• What equipment will you use and do you need access to power or water?
• Are you insured for accidental damage and can you provide a liability certificate?
• Can you provide references or photos of similar lawns you maintain?
How to Avoid Surprises
• Ensure clear access and a parking spot close to the garden
• Move toys, plant pots and lawn furniture out of the way
• Point out buried irrigation pipes, sprinklers or shallow cabling before work
• Confirm access to an outdoor tap and a mains power socket if needed
• Let the crew know about aggressive dogs or keep pets indoors
• Agree in advance any chemical treatments and ask for product details
