Questions to Ask Your Tradie

 

• Do you include grass collection and disposal in the price or is that extra?

• Are you insured for third‑party damage and do you carry public liability cover?

• Do you charge extra for long/overgrown grass or restricted access?

• What equipment will you use and will that affect my lawn or borders?

• Can you confirm start time, access arrangements and estimated job duration?

• Will you treat moss or weeds and do you use chemicals that I need to be aware of?

 

How to Avoid Surprises

 

• Clear toys, furniture and plant pots from the lawn before arrival

• Ensure gate width and access route are suitable for equipment and tell the tradie about narrow gaps

• Provide a parking space near the property or let them know about permits and drive restrictions

• Point out sprinklers, buried irrigation or fragile plants before work starts

• Let the tradie know about pets and keep them secure during the job
