STEP 02
The initial consultation requires an onsite meeting to inspect the garden, discuss what you require and provide advice with respect to the gardening.
​
There is a fee charged for the initial consultation of $165 including GST.
​
​If you accept our estimate, this fee will be fully refunded to you by deducting it from your first invoice.
STEP 03
A proposal can then be prepared that sets out the recommendations and provides estimates of the fees to deliver the required services.
The quote is an estimate only and is provided to give an indication of the costs which could be plus or minus 30%. This is not a lump sum quote.
An indication of when the job could commence will also be provided as a part of the proposal.
STEP 04
The job will commence at the scheduled time and an invoice will be raised at the completion of the job that reflects the actual hours worked and materials supplied.
For larger jobs a schedule of progress payments will be provided and you will be invoiced accordingly.

INVOICE &
TERMS
Before we, The Sustainable Gardener, undertake any further work, we will need confirmation from you that you accept our rates and terms.
A tax invoice is sent via email and payment can be made by bank transfer, credit/debit card or BPay.
If you pay your bill with a credit/debit card via our EFT terminal or the MYOB gateway (including BPay), we will share the merchant surcharge with you by levying a fee of 1.8% of the invoice total on your next bill. This represents less than the fee charged to us by any method or card issuer. We appreciate your understanding that it is difficult for us to absorb these costs and remain viable.
Our payment terms are strictly within 7 days of the work being undertaken and/or materials being purchased.
Our policy is to not provide further services until the account is paid.
