Gardening in Inner Melbourne
Knut is preparing gardening coverage in Inner Melbourne. Requests and bookings open at launch.
Gardening jobs you can request
You can ask for help with lawn work, hedge trimming, pruning, a garden clean-up or irrigation. A request can cover one task or several, such as tidying the garden and trimming hedges in the same visit. Be clear about which areas need attention and whether there are particular plants or parts of the garden you want left alone. If you are unsure how to describe a task, explain the result you want and include photos where useful. The tradies who receive your request can quote for the work they offer.
How to brief your gardening job
Give the location, a description of the work and when you would like it done. For lawns, explain which areas need work; for hedges or pruning, identify what needs trimming and how much. For a garden clean-up, mention the areas to tackle and the tasks you have in mind. For irrigation, describe the issue or the work you want completed. Photos can help show the size and condition of the garden, the plants involved or any visible irrigation problem. Sharing these details in one request helps tradies understand what you are asking them to quote for.
Quotes and Knut’s booking fee
There is no charge to request quotes. Knut compares the quotes it receives and recommends the one that best fits the job on merit; the tradie’s quote is the price for the work. If you book through Knut, you pay Knut one booking fee at booking: 5% on smaller jobs, tapering to 2.5% on large jobs, and never more than $150.00. Tradies keep 100% of their quoted price, and Knut does not charge them to quote. You can message the tradie and follow progress in one place after booking.
Choosing and checking a gardening tradie
Knut matches requests on the service, area, availability and reviews of the tradie, then compares the quotes received. Check that a quote covers the tasks you listed and ask the tradie about anything you are unsure of before booking. Gardening does not generally need a trade licence, but it is still worth confirming that the tradie offers the specific service your garden needs. If you manage properties for an agency, facilities team or property portfolio, Knut can also be used to organise 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.
