Common gardening jobs

Knut covers a range of routine gardening tasks in the Northern Beaches area. This includes maintaining lawns, trimming hedges, pruning trees and shrubs, clearing debris and litter from gardens, and setting up or repairing irrigation systems. Each job type is defined by the specific work required, whether it’s keeping grass healthy, shaping foliage, removing dead growth, organising a tidy garden space, or ensuring water flows correctly through the garden.

How to brief a gardening job

To get started, describe the job clearly: what needs doing, the exact location, and the preferred timing. If possible, add photos that show the current state or any problem areas. This helps tradies understand the scope and provide accurate quotes. Once you submit the brief, Knut sends it to local tradies who offer gardening services in your area, and you can review their proposals through the platform.

Costs and Knut’s booking fee

Knut charges a simple booking fee when you confirm a tradie. The fee is 5% on smaller jobs and tapers to 2.5% on larger jobs, with a maximum charge of $150.00. There is no cost to request quotes from tradies. After you choose a tradie, you pay the quoted price for the work directly to the tradie, while Knut’s fee is collected at the same time through the booking process.

Choosing and checking a tradie

Knut matches customers with tradies based on service type, location, availability, and review history. The platform shows each tradie’s ratings and comments from previous clients, helping you assess reliability. While a trade licence is not generally required for gardening in this area, Knut verifies the tradie’s profile and encourages you to read reviews before confirming a booking.
