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
