Finding a Gardener in Croydon: You should never be ashamed to ask for assistance if your Croydon garden is a bit lacklustre and you simply cannot find the time to tackle it yourself. So, you could contact the "guy down the street" who somebody told you about or alternatively get in touch with a professional Croydon gardener who will likely do a better job. The thing is that the "bloke down the road" will know how to mow your lawn and trim your hedge, but probably not much else, whilst a professional will have more in depth knowledge.
If you cherish your garden you will want a gardener with some savvy, who appreciates what you have and looks after it correctly. So, your aim should be to find a gardener in the Croydon area who can be trusted to do a good job on your garden. When your garden features certain shrubs, plants and trees needing particular care, this will be even more essential. Don't put up with "rogue trader" gardeners, choose a dependable one.
Gardens are all about routine maintenance, with jobs to be done fortnightly or monthly, even with smaller gardens. You will need to book in more regular visits by your gardener in the spring and summer as these jobs pile up. Typical jobs that Croydon people need doing in their gardens include: weeding, mowing lawns, general tidying and hedge trimming. The majority of Croydon gardeners will also be more than happy to deal with bigger tasks like driveway cleaning, garden fencing, laying patios and waste clearance.
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. Usually gardeners will not be happy doing just one hours work. To make it worthwhile and to make an impression, gardeners normally like to put in two to three hours at a time. Don't forget, they have to get to and from your location, they have to unload and load their van and they may have to dispose of your waste which could mean a trip to the local tip.
Respectable gardeners in Croydon would not dream of asking for payment up front for their services, therefore you should be very wary of anyone who makes this request. You might however expect to pay a deposit for materials with larger tasks such as decking installation. Once the work is completed, it's not unusual for the gardener to ask for payment in cash rather than a cheque. Whatever kind of payment you and your gardener agree on, get a receipt to avoid later arguments.
Be clear what your requirements are before the gardener begins work, have a list of jobs that need doing. 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. It is always a good idea to check if your gardener includes the removal of waste in his/her service, this is not always the case.
It is customary to offer your gardener a hot or cold drink, though many bring their own refreshments. Your gardener will be grateful for such kindness. Having regular discussions with your gardener helps you to keep abreast of the latest ideas, and also develop a friendly relationship. It is not however a good idea to pester them constantly which will have the effect of annoying them and slowing the work down.
