Finding a Gardener in Basildon: 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. It's often easy to just bring in the "fella down the road" who does odd jobs and gardening on the side, but think carefully, would a proper gardener be a better choice? Though quite often you will find that a professional gardener in Basildon doesn't hold any horticultural qualifications, he or she will probably be considerably more knowledgeable than your average "fella down the road". You will have to decide what is best for your situation.

It is essential to get these jobs done even more frequently when spring and then summer arrives. The list of the most common gardening jobs will come as no surprise and includes the likes of lawn mowing, general cleaning, weeding and hedge trimming. Other jobs like decking installation, waste clearance, garden fencing and driveway cleaning are also within most gardeners remit.
Decent gardeners do not come cheap, the "guy down the road" might do your gardening for £10 or £12 an hour, but a professional will probably charge nearer to £20 per hour. You shouldn't expect too much from your gardener on his/her first visit, because gardening takes time and dependant on the amount of work that needs doing, several hours may be required. It's not uncommon for a gardener to request at least two hour minimum visit times. If you think that this is just to stretch the job out, think again. They have to travel to and from your home, they have to unload mowers and garden tools, and they will probably have to load your waste onto their trailer and take it to a nearby rubbish tip.
Trustworthy Basildon gardeners will never ask for money in advance, so be distrustful of anybody who does. Exceptions to this rule could be in respect of large projects such as landscaping where considerable amounts of materials are needed. After the completion of your garden it would not be at all uncommon for your gardener to ask to be paid in cash. Don't forget to ask for a receipt irrespective of if you pay by cheque, card or cash, having proof of payment prevents later quarrels.
Before any work commences make sure your gardener is clear about what needs to be done and has a plan of action to complete it. Most gardeners will be happy to offer guidance and advice on various aspects of gardening, make use of this help whenever you can. Gardening tends to generate a lot of waste, so verify that your gardener is going to dispose of this when they are finished.
Gardening makes you thirsty so keep yours supplied with drinks if you're at home. Treating your gardener well could easily result in you getting some extra work done at no additional charge. Pop out for a chat with your gardener from time to time so you can benefit from their ideas and keep a friendly rapport. Constant interruptions should however be avoided.
