Finding a Gardener in Fetcham: If you cannot spare the time to tackle your tired and dreary garden, you should not be reluctant to bring in some outside help to knock it back into shape. It is tempting to call on the "fella down the street" who helps out your neighbour, or you could actually bring in a proper Fetcham gardener. While you don't need horticultural qualifications to be a gardener, most professional gardeners in the Fetcham area will have a lot more knowledge than that "fellow down the street" is likely to have.
It should certainly go without saying that any gardener you hire should be informed enough to care for your garden and the contents within it. Always try to track down a gardener in the Fetcham area who will do a good job and who can be trusted. Some plants and trees need special care, in which case this is even more important. Don't put up with "rogue trader" gardeners, choose a dependable one.
Those monthly, fortnightly or even weekly gardening jobs are often necessary even if your garden is small. These routine jobs have to be done more frequently throughout the spring and summertime. Among the most common jobs needing to be done in Fetcham gardens are weeding, grass cutting, hedge pruning and general cleaning. Jobs like laying patios, waste removal, fence repairs and cleaning driveways are also something most Fetcham gardeners will tackle.
Experienced gardeners don't come cheap and if you are being charged around £20 per hour, that is about average. You shouldn't expect too much from your gardener on his/her first visit, because gardening takes time and dependant on the amount of work that needs doing, several hours may be required. Generally gardeners would prefer to spend a minimum of 2 - 3 hours to make it worthwhile. If you think that this is just to stretch the job out, think again. They have to travel to and from your home, they have to unload mowers and garden tools, and they will probably have to load your waste onto their trailer and take it to a nearby rubbish tip.
Be extremely suspicious of any Fetcham gardener who requests money up front before doing the job. Having said that, a deposit for materials may be required for bigger projects like patio laying. Once the work is completed, it's not unusual for the gardener to ask for payment in cash rather than a cheque. Make sure that you get a receipt, no matter what type of payment you agree on, this will avoid arguments down the line.
Prior to work commencing give the gardener a clear picture of what you're expecting to be done. Most gardeners will be happy to offer guidance and advice on various aspects of gardening, make use of this help whenever you can. Ensure that the gardener will take away lawn cuttings, weeds and twigs afterwards, not all do this.
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. These acts of kindness can go a long way and may even result in a better quality of job. Having a friendly rapport with your gardener is also important, so chat with them on a regular basis, discuss plans and bounce ideas off each other. You should not however take this to the extreme, and stand there chattering all day long, which will only hold up your gardener and make the job take longer.
Fetcham Garden Design
When it comes to the re-designing of gardens it can pay to find a person who specialises in this area of horticulture. Generally the average gardener prefers to stick to routine gardening tasks, leaving garden design to the experts. Ask your gardener if he/she is comfortable with this aspect of gardening. You might find that in the end you have to call in a specialist.
Garden Clearance Fetcham
You will discover that some Fetcham gardeners will be prepared to do a limited amount of garden clearance, provided that there's only "green" waste and there's not too much involved. A limited number of gardeners in Fetcham might even have a "Waste Carrier's Licence", which enables them to take larger amounts and different forms of waste. If only minimal volumes of waste are involved it may be feasible to dispose of most of it using your local council garden waste bin (if you have one), otherwise you will need some specialist help.
You'll possibly need to contact a registered garden clearance specialist, if like many people in Fetcham, you have a garden that is heaped up with all sorts of garbage, and not only "green" waste. If you've got a good amount of rubbish in your garden you might consider hiring a mini-skip. This would enable you to dispose of not just garden waste, but maybe also clear out your garage, your shed and perhaps even you loft.
Generally sawdust, twigs, bushes, soil, lawn trimmings, pruned branches, dead plants, turf, hedge clippings and logs, will be considered as "green" waste. (Tags: Garden Clearance Fetcham, Garden Clearances Fetcham, "Green" Waste Removal Fetcham).
