Finding a Gardener in Capel-le-Ferne: When your beloved garden in Capel-le-Ferne 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 Capel-le-Ferne gardener or the "fellow down the street" who does gardens cheap? It will depend on exactly what you need doing, if it is just mowing your lawn then that "geezer down the road" may be good enough, for more complex tasks, a professional will be more knowledgeable. The decision is of course up to you.
It should certainly go without saying that any gardener you hire should be informed enough to care for your garden and the contents within it. Therefore you should be careful that you choose a gardener in Capel-le-Ferne who can be relied upon. When you've got shrubs and trees requiring specialist care, this becomes even more vital. Don't put up with chancers, seek out a good gardener.
The routine jobs which need doing in the garden are likely to be much the same regardless whether your garden is small or big. These jobs will need doing more regularly in the spring and summer and perhaps not at all in the winter. As a rule hedge trimming, general tidying, mowing lawns and weeding are the typical gardening jobs that need doing on a regular basis. Additional tasks like repairing fences, waste clearance, decking installation and cleaning driveways will also be within the capabilities of most experienced gardeners.
Who you hire may be dependent on your budget and whilst that "fellow down the street" might only charge you £10 to £15 per hour, a seasoned professional is going to set you back nearer to £20 for an hours gardening. The average gardener in Capel-le-Ferne will not be satisfied with doing your garden in one hour sessions. Sessions of 2 or 3 hours are standard for many gardeners in Capel-le-Ferne. This is not greed or stretching the job out, but simply making allowances for travel, unloading and waste removal when necessary.
Give short shrift to any Capel-le-Ferne gardener who expects to be paid up front before doing any work. Exceptions to this rule could be in respect of large projects such as garden fencing where considerable amounts of materials are needed. When the gardener has finished working you may be asked for payment in cash, this is not at all unusual. Whether you pay by card, cash or cheque, insist on a receipt, this will prevent later disputes over payment.
Be transparent about your requirements before any work begins, give the gardener a rota of tasks that you would like to be done. 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. Getting rid of your lawn trimmings and hedge clippings won't always be part of the service so ensure that in your case it is.
Gardening is thirsty work, so don't forget to make a hot or cold drink for your gardener to keep his/her spirits up. This type of kindness is always welcome and your gardener may show his/her gratitude by doing a great job on your garden. Having a friendly rapport with your gardener is also important, so chat with them on a regular basis, discuss plans and bounce ideas off each other. 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 Capel-le-Ferne
If you allow "green" waste and general trash to build up in your garden, a time will arise when you need to call in a garden clearance specialist. A few Capel-le-Ferne gardeners will be willing to do this, but unless they hold a Waste Carrier's Licence, they'll be limited in the amount of waste they can take. If only modest quantities of waste are involved it may be possible to get rid of the majority of it by making use of your council garden waste bin (if you have one), otherwise you'll need some extra help.
Obviously, many gardens in Capel-le-Ferne are stacked up with all manner of rubbish, and not merely "green" waste, so for this type of task you'll probably need to get in touch with a licenced Capel-le-Ferne garden clearance expert.

Taking this route will make it possible for you to maybe have a clear out in your shed, your garage and perhaps even your loft, as well as your garden waste.
