Gardening in Inner East

Knut is preparing gardening coverage in Inner East. Requests and bookings open at launch.

Gardening jobs you can request

A gardening job can be a regular or one-off task. You can request help with lawns, hedge trimming, pruning, garden cleanup or irrigation. Be clear about the outcome you want: for example, whether you need a lawn cut or a particular hedge trimmed. For a cleanup, note which areas need attention and what you want done with the garden. If irrigation is the issue, explain what needs checking or changing. These details help tradies understand the scope before they quote. You can include photos when you describe the job, especially if they show the areas or work involved.

How to brief a gardening job

Describe what needs doing, where the work is, and when you would like it done. Break a larger job into its main tasks, such as lawn work, pruning and cleanup, rather than relying on a general description. Add useful details about the areas involved and the result you are looking for. Photos can help show the condition of the garden or the specific work you mean. You only need to describe the job once through Knut. It sends the request to suitable local tradies who cover Inner East and offer the service, then compares the quotes received.

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. The tradie's quoted price for the work is paid separately from Knut's booking fee. Tradies keep 100% of their quoted price, and Knut does not charge them to quote. Review the quote and the work it covers before booking so you can decide whether it fits your job. The booking fee is paid to Knut at booking.

Choosing and checking a tradie

Knut matches on the service, area, availability and reviews of the tradie. It compares the quotes it receives and recommends the one that best fits the job, on merit; you can consider the quote and its scope before you book. Gardening does not generally need a trade licence, but you can still check that the proposed work matches what you asked for and ask the tradie to clarify any unclear details. Once booked through Knut, you can message the tradie and follow progress in one place. Property managers, real-estate agencies and facilities teams can also use Knut for maintenance across many properties.

Knut's booking fee

Requesting quotes is free. When you book, Knut adds one booking fee, shown before you pay, and never more than $150. The provider keeps 100% of their quote.
