Gardening in Western Sydney

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

Gardening jobs you can request

Gardening work can include mowing or otherwise maintaining lawns, trimming hedges, pruning plants and cleaning up a garden. You can also request irrigation work. If the job combines several tasks, describe each one so tradies can understand the full scope and quote accordingly. For a cleanup, mention the areas to be worked on and what you want done there. For ongoing or repeat maintenance, say that in your request and outline the tasks you need handled. Knut is for connecting you with tradies; the work itself is carried out by the independent tradie you choose.

How to brief your gardening job

Describe what needs doing, where the property is, and when you would like the work carried out. List the tasks rather than relying on a broad description such as “tidy the garden”. For example, specify whether you need lawn work, hedge trimming, pruning, a cleanup or irrigation. Add useful photos to show the areas and current condition; photos can help tradies understand the request. If there are several areas or tasks, include them all in the one job description. 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. Knut compares the quotes it receives and recommends the one that best fits the job, on merit. If you 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 scope in each quote so you can compare what work is included.

Choosing and checking a tradie

Knut matches on the service, area, availability and reviews of the tradie. Compare the quotes you receive against the tasks you described, and check that the proposed work covers the areas you want attended to. Gardening does not generally need a trade licence. If you have a question about what a quote includes or how the work will be approached, ask the tradie before booking. When you book 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.
