Finding a Gardener in Southery: When your beloved garden in Southery is looking somewhat tatty and overgrown you will have to decide whether to put aside a few hours to do it yourself or take the lazy option and pay someone else to do it for you. You could ask the "guy down the road" who does a bit of gardening or you could call on a professional Southery gardener. Generally speaking that "geezer down the road" will have very little gardening knowledge, while any self-respecting Southery gardener be bursting with horticultural expertise.
Gardeners who know their stuff will have respect for your garden and treat it much as they would their own. This means that finding a local Southery gardener who does a good job and can be trusted should be your aim. This will be even more critical for those of you with trees and shrubs in your garden. Get a dependable Southery gardener, not a "rogue trader".
Gardens are all about routine maintenance, with jobs to be done fortnightly or monthly, even with smaller gardens. In spring and summer you should organise more frequent gardener visits as the jobs that need doing increase. Typically people with gardens in Southery need jobs done like lawn mowing, general cleaning, trimming hedges and weeding. Bigger tasks such as cleaning driveways, laying patios, fence repairs and waste clearance can also be handled by the majority of gardeners.
Professional gardeners do not of course come cheap and while the "bloke down the road" may be happy to charge £10 to £15 an hour, a figure of £20 per hour is more usual for professionals. Gardening takes time and one hour will not be enough for most gardeners to make much progress on your garden. Many gardeners might even insist on a minimum visit time of at least two hours or so. This is understandable when you factor in travelling time, loading/unloading, and waste disposal.
Be wary of "gardeners" who ask for payment in advance, no genuine Southery gardener would do this. An exception might be when a large job is involved such as patio laying when some money up front may be asked for. If your gardener asks to be paid in cash after the job is complete, this is not something to be worried about and is normal within the trade. Be certain to get a receipt from your gardener whether you pay him/her by cash, card or cheque.
Be clear about your expectations from the very beginning, prepare a list of work you need doing. Always ask your gardener for advice, he or she will know exactly what plants are best suited to your garden conditions. It might be sensible to verify that your gardener disposes of any waste materials as part of the service, not all Southery gardeners do.
It is customary to offer your gardener a hot or cold drink, though many bring their own refreshments. This is always appreciated by gardeners and they will repay you by doing an extra fine job. Don't be afraid to wander out and have a chat with your gardener when circumstances permit, this will help build a friendly connection with the gardener and encourage a sharing of ideas. This doesn't mean you should stay there chattering all day though, you will be simply delaying their progress.
