Finding a Gardener in Carterton: When your Carterton garden starts looking rather droopy and under the weather, it is either time to get your gardening togs on or time to call in some expert help. It's often easy to just bring in the "fella down the street" who does odd jobs and gardening on the side, but think carefully, would a proper gardener be a better choice? Though quite often you will find that a professional gardener in Carterton doesn't hold any horticultural qualifications, he or she will probably be considerably more knowledgeable than your average "fellow down the road".
You certainly want a gardener who will treat your garden with respect and not cause it any harm or damage. So, your main objective must be to find a trustworthy Carterton gardener who has a reputation for doing an excellent job. If you've got trees, plants and shrubs needing special attention, this will become more important still. Retain the services of the best you can afford and don't take chances.
The thing about gardening is that there are always jobs that need doing routinely, even on small gardens. In spring and summer you should organise more frequent gardener visits as the jobs that need doing increase. The list of the most common gardening jobs will come as no surprise and includes the likes of weeding, mowing lawns, trimming hedges and general tidying. Many gardeners will also be happy to take care of jobs like decking installation, repairing fences, cleaning driveways and waste clearance
The rates charged by professional gardeners varies widely but if you are paying an hourly rate of about £20, that is reasonable. You may find that your gardener will not be prepared to put in just an hours work. Most will want to put in at least 2 to 3 hours at a time to make it worth their while. Bear in mind the fact that they have travelling time to and from your home, and they may need to visit the local dump to dispose or your garden waste.
Be wary of "gardeners" who ask for payment in advance, no genuine Carterton gardener would do this. An exception to this rule of thumb would be with more extensive tasks for example garden fencing when being asked for a deposit for materials is quite normal. It isn't uncommon for a gardener to ask to be paid in cash, though only after the gardening work is completed to your satisfaction. Remember to get a receipt whether you pay the gardener by cheque, card or cash, this negates later disputes.
Before work starts prepare a plan of expected tasks with the gardener, this will help them to live up to your expectations. Once your gardener starts you will have an expert at your fingertips, make the most of it and get plenty of advice and guidance. Ensure that the gardener will take away lawn cuttings, weeds and twigs afterwards, not all do this.
If you are at home while the gardening is being done, keep your gardener supplied with drinks. Such kindnesses are much appreciated and will likely be repaid by extra efforts on your behalf. It is useful to always have a friendly relationship with your gardener, so try to have regular chats with him/her, sharing ideas and opinions. However, avoid incessant prattling which will only annoy the gardener and impede his/her progress.
