Finding a Gardener in South Hornchurch: If you wake up one day and realise just how untidy and overgrown your garden has become, it might be appropriate to call in somebody to help you out, unless you can find the time in your busy life to tackle it yourself. Should you hire a professional South Hornchurch gardener or the "guy down the street" who does gardens cheap? The chances are that "chap down the road" will not have much gardening knowledge, while the professional garder will probably have horticultural qualifications. The choice is yours at the end of the day.
Your beloved garden deserves to be treated with respect by someone who has pride in their work and the knowledge to do it properly. Therefore you should be careful that you choose a gardener in South Hornchurch who can be relied upon. Even if in your trees and plants are pretty ordinary they still need to be handled with care and dedication. Avoid settling for any old chancer, find yourself a decent gardener.
There is a seemingly endless list of jobs to be done in the garden, even if it is relatively small. Of course such jobs will be more regular during the spring and summer months. Commonly lawn mowing, weeding, general tidying and hedge trimming are the gardening tasks that people in South Hornchurch need done. Other jobs like driveway cleaning, laying patios, garden fencing and waste removal are also within most gardeners remit.
The rates charged by professional gardeners varies widely but if you are paying an hourly rate of about £20, that is reasonable. One hour in your garden is not very much and the average gardener will need to spend more time than that to get much done. To make it worthwhile and to make an impression, gardeners normally like to put in two to three hours at a time. The reason for this is that they have to allow time for travel, waste disposal and getting tools on and off their truck.
Trustworthy South Hornchurch gardeners will never ask for money in advance, so be distrustful of anybody who does. "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.
Always explain exactly what your needs are, a list of projects will make things clearer for the gardener. Your gardener is there to help you, so if you have any doubts about plants or their positioning, ask for advice. Check that your gardener will remove any waste such as lawn trimmings and branches, some do not.
Gardening makes you thirsty so keep yours supplied with drinks if you're at home. A gardener will always be appreciative of such kindness and will work even harder to show this gratitude. By having a quick chat with your gardener every once in a while, you can pick up some tips while also building a friendly rapport. This is not to say you should stand there all day gabbing, this will merely hinder your gardener and stop him/her from doing their job.
South Hornchurch Garden Design
It should not be automatically assumed that a gardener who mows your lawn or trims your hedge will be good at garden design. Generally the average gardener prefers to stick to routine gardening tasks, leaving garden design to the experts. See if your gardener is happy doing this. In many instances it becomes necessary to bring in an expert.
