Finding a Gardener in Benfleet: You should never be ashamed to ask for assistance if your Benfleet garden is a bit lacklustre and you simply cannot find the time to tackle it yourself. It is generally advisable to opt for a professional Benfleet gardener, as opposed to the "fellow down the road" who does a bit of gardening. While you don't need horticultural qualifications to be a gardener, most professional gardeners in the Benfleet area will have a lot more knowledge than that "bloke down the street" is likely to have. That of course is a decision that you will have to make.
Everyone likes their garden to be looked after properly and by a gardener who knows his/her stuff. This means that finding a local Benfleet gardener who does a good job and can be trusted should be your aim. Trees and shrubs may require expert management, meaning this is more important than ever. Don't allow a cowboy to ruin your garden, hire a decent one at the outset.
Whether your garden is large or small, there will always be jobs that need attending to on a routine basis. It is essential to get these jobs done even more frequently when spring and then summer arrives. The more commonplace place tasks that need doing in Benfleet gardens are likely to be general cleaning, grass cutting, weeding and trimming hedges. Most professional Benfleet gardeners will also help with patio installation, fence repairs, waste clearance and cleaning driveways.
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. One hour in your garden is not very much and the average gardener will need to spend more time than that to get much done. Certain Benfleet gardeners will want 2 or more hours work each time they visit your garden. It is not just a case of working on your garden, they need to allow for travelling time and visits to the local rubbish tip.
Be extremely suspicious of any Benfleet gardener who requests money up front before doing the job. Once your garden is finished you should expect to be asked for payment in cash, because most gardeners prefer this. Whether you pay by card, cheque or cash, insist on a receipt, this will prevent later disputes over payment.
Before any work commences make sure your gardener is clear about what needs to be done and has a plan of action to complete it. Your gardener will be there to give you advice and guidance on any aspect of your garden, so make the most of his/her knowledge. Not all gardeners like to take away the waste and lawn clippings, so check that yours does.
It is customary to offer your gardener a hot or cold drink, though many bring their own refreshments. These acts of kindness can go a long way and may even result in a better quality of job. Engage in some conversation with your gardener whenever you get the chance so that you can build a friendly relationship and benefit from their knowledge and ideas. Occasionally is the key word with this approach however, don't hold them up by standing over them and nattering all day long.
