Gardening in South Sydney and St George

Knut is preparing gardening coverage in South Sydney and St George. Requests and bookings open at launch.

Gardening jobs you can request

You can request help with lawn work, hedge trimming, pruning, garden cleanup or irrigation. Be clear about the outcome you want: for example, whether you need a particular area tidied, hedges trimmed or irrigation work carried out. If the job has several parts, list them together so tradies can consider the full scope when preparing a quote. Knut sends your request to suitable local tradies who cover the area and offer the service. You describe the job once, then compare the quotes received before choosing who to book.

How to brief your gardening job

A useful request explains what needs doing, where the work is, and when you would like it done. Describe the areas involved and the tasks you want completed, such as lawn work, pruning or irrigation. Photos can help show the current condition or the parts of the garden you mean, if they are useful for your job. Mention each task rather than relying on a general description like “tidy the garden”. A clear brief gives tradies information to consider when quoting and helps you compare quotes on the same scope of work.

Costs and Knut's booking fee

There is no charge to request quotes. Customers pay Knut one booking fee when they book: 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 booking fee is paid to Knut at booking; the tradie's quote is for the gardening work. Tradies keep 100% of their quoted price, and Knut does not charge them to quote. Review the quote and the job details before booking so you understand what work it covers.

Choosing and checking a tradie

Knut matches on the service, area, availability and reviews of the tradie. It compares the quotes received and recommends the one that best fits the job, on merit; you can review the options before booking. Gardening does not generally need a trade licence. Check that the quote reflects the tasks you described, and use Knut to message the tradie if you need to clarify the scope. After booking, 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.

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.
