Frequently Asked Questions

What makes Kokobeo different from other platforms?

Our escrow payment system is the key difference. Unlike platforms where you pay directly to contractors, Kokobeo holds payment securely until you approve work. Combined with verified professionals, transparent pricing, and dispute resolution, we provide unmatched protection for every gardener you hire.

How do milestone payments work?

For larger projects, you can set specific milestones (e.g., 25% after planning, 50% after halfway completion, 25% after final inspection). Payment releases from escrow as each milestone is completed to your satisfaction. This keeps you in control throughout the project.

Is there a fee to use Kokobeo?

Getting quotes and browsing professionals is completely free. A small service fee is added when you hire a gardener, which covers our escrow protection, platform maintenance, and customer support. The fee is clearly shown before you commit to any hiring decision.

How much does it cost to hire a gardener in Berkeley?

In Berkeley, typical rates range from 86-138 per hour, depending on experience and job complexity. Emergency services typically cost 173-346. Get free quotes from multiple professionals to compare exact pricing for your specific needs.

Are all professionals on Kokobeo licensed and insured?

Yes. Every gardener on our platform is verified, licensed (where required by CA law), and carries appropriate insurance. We conduct background checks and verify credentials before approving any professional to join Kokobeo.

Can I hire for recurring services?

Yes! Many customers set up recurring arrangements for regular maintenance, cleaning, or ongoing services. You can establish a schedule with your gardener, with each appointment protected by escrow. This ensures consistent quality even for routine work.

How does Kokobeo's escrow payment system work?

When you hire a gardener through Kokobeo, your payment is held in a secure escrow account. The funds are only released to the professional when you approve the completed work. This protects you from paying for incomplete or unsatisfactory service, while ensuring the professional gets paid fairly for quality work.

What's the difference between hourly and fixed price hiring?

Hourly hiring is perfect for jobs where the scope might change or for ongoing maintenance. You pay only for actual hours worked, tracked in real-time. Fixed price is better for well-defined projects where you want to know the total cost upfront. Both options include full escrow protection.
