Finding a Gardener in Abbotskerswell: Nobody likes to see their garden looking a little the worse for wear, so fetching in some outside help is always a possibility if you can't find the time to spare. It is generally advisable to opt for a professional Abbotskerswell gardener, as opposed to the "geezer down the road" who does a bit of gardening. Whilst formal qualifications are not a requirement for gardeners, a professional is likely to have a wider range of knowledge than that "fellow down the street" and will have a reputation to uphold.
You certainly don't want your cherished garden to be in any way mistreated by an ignorant or uninformed "gardener" who is just in it for a buck. So, try to find a local Abbotskerswell gardener who is trustworthy and reliable. If you've got trees, plants and shrubs needing special attention, this will become more important still. Never compromise, get yourself a decent Abbotskerswell gardener.
Gardens are all about routine maintenance, with jobs to be done fortnightly or monthly, even with smaller gardens. Gardener visits will generally need to be more regular in spring and summer, with jobs being done more frequently. Among the most common jobs needing to be done in Abbotskerswell gardens are hedge pruning, weeding, mowing lawns and general cleaning. Jobs like cleaning driveways, decking installation, fence repairs and waste removal are also something most Abbotskerswell gardeners will tackle.
Decent gardeners will come at a premium, so don't expect them to work for peanuts. Charges generally start at approximately twenty pounds per hour. Depending on the state of your garden it is likely that your gardener will need more than just one hour to make an impression. To make it worthwhile and to make an impression, gardeners normally like to put in two to three hours at a time. This is understandable when you factor in travelling time, loading/unloading, and waste disposal.
Asking for money up front is not normal for gardeners (unlike builders), so be extra careful if they do. Don't be surprised if your gardener asks for cash payment, this isn't unusual, but of course only when the work is finished. Agree on an acceptable form of payment before work starts and always get a receipt once the bill has been paid.
Let the gardener know about your precise expectations before any work begins. Your gardener is there to help you, so if you have any doubts about plants or their positioning, ask for advice. Taking away all the garden waste such as hedge clippings and lawn trimmings may not be included in the service, therefore you should establish whether your gardener will do this or not. Garden waste can be tricky to get rid of.
Working outdoors can be tough and thirsty work, so make sure that there is the offer of a cold or hot drink to help the day along. This type of kindness is always welcome and your gardener may show his/her gratitude by doing a great job on your garden. Having regular discussions with your gardener helps you to keep abreast of the latest ideas, and also develop a friendly relationship. This does not mean you should pester them with constant wittering which will simply hinter them and slow down the work rate.
