Finding a Gardener in Bala: If you cannot spare the time to tackle your tired and dreary garden, you should not be reluctant to bring in some outside help to knock it back into shape. When you take the plunge and do this, be careful who you choose. Do you call the "chap down the street" or an established local Bala gardener? Although there is no guarantee that a professional gardener will have any recognised horticultural qualifications, he/she will almost certainly have a great deal more gardening knowledge than that "guy down the street" is going to have.
It is never a good idea to have somebody looking after your garden who doesn't know what they're doing. So, your main objective must be to find a trustworthy Bala gardener who has a reputation for doing an excellent job. This is particularly crucial when your garden contains shrubs and trees which require special attention. Don't put up with "rogue trader" gardeners, choose a dependable one.
Small gardens need routine attention just like larger ones and the jobs may be much the same but on a smaller scale. Gardener visits will generally need to be more regular in spring and summer, with jobs being done more frequently. Typical jobs that Bala people need doing in their gardens include: trimming hedges, general tidying, weeding and grass cutting. More involved tasks might include: waste removal, garden fencing, driveway cleaning and decking installation.
Professional gardeners do not of course come cheap and while the "geezer down the street" may be happy to charge £10 to £15 an hour, a figure of £20 per hour is more usual for professionals. It would be unfair to expect any gardener to whip your garden into shape in just a single hour, so count on it taking longer than this. The majority will generally prefer to spend 2 to 3 hours on each visit. Remember, they have to travel to and from your house, and maybe also get to the tip with your rubbish.
Avoid any "gardener" who demands money up front, no trustworthy Bala gardener will expect this. Exceptions to this rule could be in respect of large projects such as garden fencing where considerable amounts of materials are needed. Quite often a gardener will ask to be paid in cash once the work is complete and that is of course fine. Having proof of payment is essential to avoid quarrels about unpaid bills, so make sure you get a receipt.
Let the gardener know about your precise expectations before any work begins. It is nice to have an expert on hand to help whip your garden into shape, make sure you exploit their knowledge to the full. It is always a good idea to check if your gardener includes the removal of waste in his/her service, this is not always the case.
While most gardeners bring their own food and refreshments it doesn't hurt to ask if they would like a cup of tea or coffee while they are working. Such thoughfulness will be appreciated and should ensure that your gardener does the best job possible. In order to build a friendly rapport with your gardener and to pick their brains for gardening tips, go out for a natter from time to time. 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.
