Gardening in North

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

Gardening jobs you can request

Gardening work can range from regular lawn care to a one-off tidy-up. You can request help with lawns, hedge trimming, pruning, garden cleanup or irrigation. If several tasks need doing, list them together so tradies can consider the whole job when quoting. For example, note whether you want a hedge trimmed as well as garden debris cleared, or whether irrigation work is part of a broader garden maintenance request. Knut is newly available in North, and sends requests to suitable local tradies who cover the area and offer the service.

How to brief a gardening job

Give a clear description of what needs doing, where the property is, and when you would like the work done. Be specific about the tasks: say which areas need attention and whether you want a trim, pruning, cleanup, lawn work or irrigation help. Photos can be useful for showing the current condition or the parts of the garden involved. If you have more than one task, include each one in your request rather than leaving it until later. Knut sends your description to suitable tradies, so useful detail helps them understand what you are asking them to quote for.

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 choose to 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. 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. Check the quote details and what work it covers before booking.

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 one on merit. Gardening does not generally need a trade licence, so you can focus on whether the tradie’s offer fits the tasks you described. Read the quote to check that it covers the work you asked for, and clarify any details that are unclear before booking. 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.
