Where’s the job?

Scope of Works

• Walk the garden and agree areas to be mown and weeded

• Mow lawn to agreed height and tidy edges with a trimmer

• Strim hard-to-reach areas and around flower beds and fencing

• Hand-pull larger weeds and apply spot weedkiller where required using PPE

• Collect and bag grass cuttings and larger weed debris and remove for disposal

• Treat moss or bare patches and advise on follow-up seed or feed if requested

Typical Cost

Time on Site

Most single-visit jobs take 30 minutes–2 hours depending on lawn size and weed density. Factors that extend time include severely overgrown turf, lots of manual weed removal, steep or awkward access, and wet weather which slows mowing and increases cleanup time

Questions to Ask Your Tradie

• Are you insured and can you provide proof of public liability cover

• What exactly is included in the price and do you charge per visit or per hour

• Do you use pesticides and if so which products and what precautions do you take

• How will green waste be dealt with and are disposal charges included

• Do you offer regular maintenance packages and is there a discount for repeat visits

How to Avoid Surprises

• Ensure clear access and move obstacles such as pots, toys and garden furniture

• Confirm parking arrangements or where a van can stop to unload equipment

• Tell the tradie about irrigation heads, buried cables or delicate planting to avoid damage

• Secure pets and notify neighbours if you plan to use chemical treatments in shared spaces

• Check for any communal garden rules or landlord permissions before booking work
