Common gardening jobs

Gardening jobs can range from regular lawn work to a one-off tidy-up. You can request help with lawns, hedge trimming, pruning, garden cleanup or irrigation. If several tasks need attention, list each one so tradies can consider the full scope when preparing a quote. For a garden cleanup, describe what you want cleared or tidied rather than relying on a general label. For irrigation, note what needs attention and whether you want a repair or other work. Knut sends your request to suitable local tradies who cover the area and offer the service.

How to brief your gardening job

Describe what needs doing, where the job is, and when you would like it done. For lawns, say what work you want included; for hedges or pruning, identify the plants or areas that need attention. If the job involves more than one part of the garden, mention each task. Photos can be useful, particularly when they show the area or issue clearly. Include any details that could affect the work, such as access or what you want left untouched. A clear description gives tradies useful context when they consider the job and send quotes.

Costs 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. If you book, you pay the tradie's quoted price for the work and Knut's booking fee at booking. Customers pay Knut one booking fee: 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. Make sure you understand the tradie's quote and the booking fee before you confirm.

Choosing and checking a tradie

Knut matches on the service, area, availability and reviews of the tradie. You can consider the quotes received and choose the option that suits the job; the recommendation is based on merit. Gardening does not generally need a trade licence, but you can still ask a tradie about their experience with the work you have described and clarify what their quote includes. 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.
