Questions
Common questions from installers.
Does it cost anything to join?
No. Joining the GardenReady installer network is free. Every job comes with a set payout, and you earn it on every job you complete.
How and when do I get paid?
Each job shows its payout when it is offered to you. Once the job is complete, your photos are in, and the customer signs off, your payout is released on our payout cycle. Track it all in your Earnings tab.
What do I need to qualify?
General liability insurance (at least $1M), your own tools and reliable transport, and a service area in the region we cover. You upload your insurance in the portal and we verify it before your first job.
Am I required to call 811?
Yes. Before any digging, you must contact 811 (or your state's one-call center) and confirm utilities are marked. You confirm this in the app before completing a job, it's part of our installer agreement.
Can I turn down jobs?
Always. Every offer is optional. You have 24 hours to accept or decline, with no penalty for passing on work that doesn't fit your schedule.
