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.
