Finding a Gardener in Alston: When your beloved garden in Alston 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. Should you hire a professional Alston gardener or the "guy down the street" who does gardens cheap? Whilst even professional Alston gardeners don't always have formal qualifications, they can usually be relied upon to have more horticultural knowledge than any "guy down the street" is apt to have. That of course is a decision that you will have to make.
It is not too much to ask that any gardener treats your garden, plants and contents with a degree of respect. So, your aim should be to find a gardener in the Alston area who can be trusted to do a good job on your garden. This is even more important if you have plants or trees in your garden which need specialist care. Never compromise, get yourself a decent Alston gardener.
Even if your garden is relatively small, there are a handful of jobs which need attending to on a routine basis. It is essential to get these jobs done even more frequently when spring and then summer arrives. Typical jobs that Alston people need doing in their gardens include: weeding, mowing lawns, trimming hedges and general tidying. Other jobs that professional gardeners will usually handle include: driveway cleaning, waste removal, fence repairs and patio installation.
Regular garden maintenance can cost quite a bit of money because an experienced gardener will probably charge you something like twenty pounds per hour worked. The average gardener in Alston will not be satisfied with doing your garden in one hour sessions. You might find that your gardener will not be interested in visits of less than two hours. They have to allow for other things such as disposing of your garden waste at the local rubbish tip, unloading tools and equipment, and actually getting to and from your home.
You should be suspicious of any gardener who demands payment in advance. Payment in cash is not unusual for gardeners, though this will be requested after all work is completed and approved. No matter what form of payment you agree on, be sure to get a receipt so there are no arguments later on.
Right from the start and before any work commences, ensure your gardener has a clear understanding of exactly what needs doing. Don't be afraid to ask for advice, your gardener is the best person to tell you which plants are best for your garden. It might be sensible to verify that your gardener disposes of any waste materials as part of the service, not all Alston gardeners do. Garden waste can be tricky to get rid of.
Gardening is thirsty work, so don't forget to make a hot or cold drink for your gardener to keep his/her spirits up. Such kindnesses are much appreciated and will likely be repaid by extra efforts on your behalf. It's important that you and your gardener have a friendly relationship with each other. Pop into the garden for regular chats to discuss gardening ideas and plans. 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.
