Gardening in Frankston and Peninsula North

Knut is preparing gardening coverage in Frankston and Peninsula North. Requests and bookings open at launch.

Common gardening jobs

Gardening work can cover regular lawn care, trimming overgrown hedges, pruning plants and trees, clearing garden mess, or work on irrigation. When requesting help, say which tasks you want done and whether there are several parts to the job. A garden cleanup might involve different work from routine lawn maintenance, so a clear list helps tradies understand what you’re asking for. If you need irrigation work, describe the issue or the work you have in mind. Knut connects customers with independent local tradies who offer the service and cover the area.

How to brief a gardening job

Describe what needs doing, where the job is, and when you’d like the work done. Be specific about the tasks: for example, explain which areas need mowing, which hedges need trimming, or what needs attention in a cleanup. For pruning, describe the plants or areas involved as best you can. If the request is about irrigation, explain what you’ve noticed or what you want changed. Photos can be useful for showing the state of the garden or the work involved. You only need to describe the job once; suitable local tradies can then respond with quotes.

Costs and Knut’s booking fee

There is no charge to request quotes. Customers pay Knut one booking fee when they book: 5% on smaller jobs, tapering to 2.5% on large jobs, and never more than $150.00. You also pay the tradie’s quoted price for the work. Tradies keep 100% of their quoted price, and Knut does not charge them to quote. Compare the quotes you receive and consider what each includes before deciding which one fits the job. The booking fee is paid to Knut when you book through the platform.

Choosing and checking a tradie

Knut matches on the service, area, availability and reviews of the tradie, then compares the quotes it receives and recommends the one that best fits the job, on merit. Read the quote carefully and check that it covers the tasks you described. If anything is unclear, message the tradie before booking. Gardening does not generally need a trade licence, but you can still check the tradie’s profile and reviews and ask questions about the proposed work. After booking, you can message the tradie and follow progress in one place.
