Finding a Gardener in North Gosforth: Sorting out a dreary and overgrown garden is not everyone's cup of tea, so if you find yourself in this situation you should not be afraid to ask for some outside assistance. 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? Whilst formal qualifications are not a requirement for gardeners, a professional is likely to have a wider range of knowledge than that "bloke down the road" and will have a reputation to uphold.
You certainly want a gardener who will treat your garden with respect and not cause it any harm or damage. Therefore you should take your time in finding a gardener in the North Gosforth area who can be trusted. When your garden features certain shrubs, plants and trees needing particular care, this will be even more essential. Find yourself a decent North Gosforth gardener, not just any chap who knocks on your door.
Even if you've got a small garden, there will be various tasks that require attention in a routine manner. These jobs will need doing more regularly in the spring and summer and perhaps not at all in the winter. While the jobs that people in North Gosforth need doing in their gardens are many and varied the most common are grass cutting, hedge pruning, weeding and general tidying. Tasks such as waste removal, decking installation, cleaning driveways and garden fencing are other things that your gardener will probably help you with.
Expect to shell out something like £20 per hour for hiring the expertise of a professional gardener, the "fellow down the road" will be a bit cheaper. It might be the case that your chosen gardener will need more than an hour to whip your garden into shape. Certain North Gosforth gardeners will want 2 or more hours work each time they visit your garden. Remember, they have to travel to and from your house, and maybe also get to the tip with your rubbish.
Be extremely suspicious of any North Gosforth gardener who requests money up front before doing the job. Big projects such as decking installation may be an exception, because materials have to be bought and a deposit may be required. "Cash is king" as they say, and most gardeners prefer this type of payment, but only once the work is complete of course. Once you have paid your gardener get a receipt, so there are no disputes about unpaid bills.
Before the gardener gets to work on your garden make sure he or she is clear about your requirements, a list of expected tasks might help. 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. If there is going to be a lot of waste produced by your gardener, double check they he/she will take it away afterwards. Being lumbered with a big pile of garden waste is not a good idea.
Gardening is hard work, so remember to ask if your gardener wants a drink at some point during the day. Your gardener will be grateful for such kindness. It helps to keep things friendly, so popping out for a chat every now and again will help to do this and also give you the chance to get some tips from your gardener. However, don't follow them around all day, generally getting in their way and bombarding them with constant questions.
Garden Design North Gosforth
If you have bigger plans for your garden and are thinking about a total re-design, you might need more than a run of the mill gardener. Most regular gardeners in North Gosforth prefer to concentrate on the day to day garden maintenance, leaving design and such like to the better qualified. Quiz your gardener to see whether they dabble in garden design. You might find that in the end you have to call in a specialist.
Garden Clearance North Gosforth
If you permit green waste and general trash to build up in your garden, a time will transpire when you need a garden clearance specialist. A few North Gosforth gardeners will be willing to do this, but unless they have a "Waste Carrier's Licence", they will be restricted on the volume of waste they can take. If only relatively small amounts of waste are involved it may be feasible to dispose of most of it by using your local council garden waste bin (if you've got one), otherwise you will need some extra help.
You will probably have to contact a licenced garden clearance specialist, if like many other householders in North Gosforth, you've got a garden which is stacked up with all manner of junk, and not just green waste. There are other possibilities that you could think about if you have a large quantity of junk in your garden, hiring a mini-skip might be something you could look at. Along with your garden waste, this would perhaps also allow you to have a clear out in your garage, your shed and even your loft, if they're junked-up as well.
Generally speaking "green" garden waste would be the likes of: hedge clippings, topsoil, lawn trimmings, turf, bushes, wood chippings, tree branches, dead flowers, twigs and logs.
