Finding a Gardener in Cogenhoe: You should never be ashamed to ask for assistance if your Cogenhoe garden is a bit lacklustre and you simply cannot find the time to tackle it yourself. It is tempting to call on the "fella down the street" who helps out your neighbour, or you could actually bring in a proper Cogenhoe gardener. Though quite often you will find that a professional gardener in Cogenhoe doesn't hold any horticultural qualifications, he or she will probably be considerably more knowledgeable than your average "fellow down the street". At the end of the day you will have to choose.
It is not too much to ask that any gardener treats your garden, plants and contents with a degree of respect. So, your main objective must be to find a trustworthy Cogenhoe gardener who has a reputation for doing an excellent job. When you have a garden containing trees and shrubs needing expert care, this is even more important. Get yourself a good gardener, don't just settle for any old one.
Even if you only have a small garden, there are lots of jobs that need doing on a regular basis. The frequency of visits by your gardener will increase throughout the spring and summer and may not be necessary at all in winter. Typical jobs that folk with gardens in Cogenhoe require are hedge pruning, weeding, mowing lawns and general tidying. Bigger tasks such as waste removal, garden fencing, patio installation and driveway cleaning can also be handled by the majority of gardeners.
Decent gardeners do not come cheap, the "guy down the road" might do your gardening for £10 or £12 an hour, but a professional will probably charge nearer to £20 per hour. Usually gardeners will not be happy doing just one hours work. Visits spanning 2 to 3 hours are about the average for Cogenhoe gardeners. You must take into account travelling time, loading and unloading equipment and visits to the tip with your waste.
It should never be necessary to pay your gardener in advance of doing the work, give short shrift to anybody who asks for this. An exception can be made when a big project like fencing or decking is involved, and lots of materials have to be purchased. Quite often a gardener will ask to be paid in cash once the work is complete and that is of course fine. Always insist on a receipt whether you pay by cheque, card or cash, proof of payment is important in case of any future arguments.
Make certain the gardener knows what your expectations are for your garden, job lists can help make everything clearer. 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. Make sure that all twigs, weeds and lawn cuttings will be removed and disposed of afterwards, certain gardeners don't do this. Being left with large quantities of garden waste is something that you need to avoid.
It is customary to offer your gardener a hot or cold drink, though many bring their own refreshments. Considerations like this will always be appreciated and will often result in a better standard of work. Go out and talk to your gardener now and again to keep a friendly rapport going and also to pick their brains. As with most things in life, moderation is the key. Keep chats short and to the point so that they can get on with what they are there for.
Cogenhoe Garden Design
Sometimes when searching for a gardener you will find people advertising as "garden designers" and for many this is a vocation in its own right. Quite a few gardeners have expertise in this area of gardening, while the rest stick to the more mundane tasks. It would pay you to ask your gardener if they have the confidence to do this. If not you'll have to look for a specialist.
Tree Surgery Cogenhoe
With a good knowledge of shrubs and trees, some of the better gardeners in Cogenhoe will be happy to do some essential tree surgery jobs every now and then. Whilst your local Cogenhoe gardener should have the appropriate skills to undertake pruning and cutting back, for any important work it is advisable to use the professional services of a trained tree surgeon.
Tree damage to property and electricity lines isn't at all unusual, and this can quite easily occur if trees are allowed to become overgrown. Additionally footings, driveways, sewer pipework and terraces can be irreversibly damaged by tree roots, so keeping a close eye on any trees that are on your land is a no brainer. If you are concerned that these or other problems are being triggered by trees on your property in Cogenhoe, speak to your gardener first for advice.
