Finding a Gardener in Ashburton: Nobody likes to see their garden looking a little the worse for wear, so fetching in some outside help is always a possibility if you can't find the time to spare. Before you let someone loose on your prized garden you should consider the options. Should you call on a specialist Ashburton gardener or the "guy down the road" who has a go at anything? Generally speaking that "fella down the street" will have very little gardening knowledge, while any self-respecting Ashburton gardener be bursting with horticultural expertise. Perhaps this article will help you make your choice.
It is never a good idea to have somebody looking after your garden who doesn't know what they're doing. Therefore, your goal must be to locate a gardener in Ashburton who does a thorough job and can be depended upon. If you've got trees, plants and shrubs needing special attention, this will become more important still. Get a dependable Ashburton gardener, not a "rogue trader".
Those monthly, fortnightly or even weekly gardening jobs are often necessary even if your garden is small. As you can imagine the need for this regular maintenance is more necessary in spring and summer. Typical jobs that Ashburton people need doing in their gardens include: general cleaning, weeding, mowing lawns and hedge pruning. Bigger tasks such as patio installation, driveway cleaning, fence repairs and waste removal can also be handled by the majority of gardeners.
An hourly rate of around £20 is what you should expect to pay for a decent gardener. The average gardener in Ashburton will not be satisfied with doing your garden in one hour sessions. Generally gardeners would prefer to spend a minimum of 2 - 3 hours to make it worthwhile. Don't forget, they have to get to and from your location, they have to unload and load their van and they may have to dispose of your waste which could mean a trip to the local tip.
Asking for money up front is not normal for gardeners (unlike builders), so be extra careful if they do. Payment in cash is not unusual for gardeners, though this will be requested after all work is completed and approved. To avoid any arguments later on, make sure you get a receipt no matter what kind of payment you agree on.
Let the gardener know about your precise expectations before any work begins. Make the most of having a specialist on hand and follow their guidance with regards to your choice of plants and shrubs. Establish that all of the weeds, lawn trimmings and resulting waste will be removed, they don't all offer this service.
It is customary to offer your gardener a hot or cold drink, though many bring their own refreshments. Considerations like this will always be appreciated and will often result in a better standard of work. Having regular discussions with your gardener helps you to keep abreast of the latest ideas, and also develop a friendly relationship. Occasionally is the key word with this approach however, don't hold them up by standing over them and nattering all day long.
Garden Clearance Ashburton

A few Ashburton gardeners will be prepared to do this, but unless they've got a "Waste Carriers Licence", they will be restricted on the amount and kind of waste they can take. If only minimal quantities of waste are involved it may be feasible to dispose of the majority of it by making use of your council green waste bin (if you've got one), otherwise you'll need additional help.
You'll most likely have to contact a registered garden clearance expert, if like many other homeowners in Ashburton, you've got a garden that's heaped up with all manner of rubbish, and not merely green waste. If you have a significant amount of rubbish in your garden you might look into hiring a mini-skip. This would permit you to get rid of not only garden waste, but perhaps also clear out your shed, your garage and possibly even you loft.
