How a garden job goes from posted to paid, for the homeowner who needs the work done and the gardener who does it.
Post your job, compare quotes from verified local gardeners, and pay through GreenHand.
Describe exactly what you need: lawn mowing, hedge trimming, a full garden redesign, or anything in between. Add your location, budget range, and preferred dates. It costs nothing.
Verified gardeners in your area see your job and send competitive quotes in rands. Read their reviews from other South African homeowners, see how much experience they list, and message them directly before you decide.
Accept the quote that suits you and pay through GreenHand. Your money is held safely under Payment Protection while the job is done. The gardener is paid when you approve the work. The gardener checks in with GPS when they arrive and checks out when they leave.
Your payment is held while the job is done. The gardener is paid when you approve it, or 72 hours after they mark it done. If something is wrong, raise it before approving.
Before a gardener can quote, we check their ID, their proof of address and their photo, and an admin approves them. Experience is what the gardener tells us, so ask about it in your messages.
The gardener checks in with GPS when they arrive and checks out when they leave, so you can see when the work happened even if you were out.
