Gardening in Melbourne South East
Knut is preparing gardening coverage in Melbourne South East. Requests and bookings open at launch.
Common gardening jobs
Gardening jobs can cover routine lawn care, hedge trimming and pruning, as well as clearing up a garden that needs attention. You can also request help with irrigation. If you need more than one task done, include each one in your request so tradies can consider the full scope when quoting. Knut is newly available in Melbourne South East for these services. Whether the job is a single task or a combination, describe what you want done and share photos if they would help explain the work.
How to brief your gardening job
Start with a clear list of the work: for example, whether you need lawn care, hedge trimming, pruning, a garden cleanup or irrigation. Say where the job is, when you would like it done and what you want the finished work to cover. Photos can help show the tradie the areas or tasks you mean. If there are several parts to the job, separate them in your description rather than leaving the tradie to guess. Knut sends your request to suitable local tradies who cover the area and offer the service.
Costs and Knut's booking fee
There is no charge to request quotes. Once you choose to book, you pay Knut one booking fee: 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. The quoted price is set by the tradie; Knut does not charge tradies to quote, and they keep 100% of their quoted price. Knut compares the quotes it receives and recommends the one that best fits the job, on merit.
Choosing and checking a gardening tradie
Knut matches on the service, area, availability and reviews of the tradie. When you receive a recommendation, consider whether the quoted work covers every task in your request and whether the timing suits you. Gardening does not generally need a trade licence, but you can still check the tradie's reviews and discuss any parts of the job that are unclear before booking. After booking 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
