Top tips
Hiring a gardener, without the regret.
Four moves that separate a smooth job from a nightmare.
Weight Miscalculations
Wet grass can be three times heavier than dry grass. Ensure your quote accounts for weight if the weather has been poor.
Contamination
Mixing stones, plastics, or general litter with grass waste can result in the entire load being rejected at the composting facility or charged at a higher "general waste" rate.
Access Issues
Failure to mention narrow side gates or long distances from the lawn to the van can lead to unexpected labour surcharges.
Hidden Pests
Old piles of grass waste can house rodents or wasps; inform your tradesperson if a pile has been sitting for a long time.
Costs & timeline
Know what it costs. Know when it ends.
