Finding a Gardener in Great Leighs: Calling in some outside help to get your bedraggled garden back into shape, isn't something to be ashamed of if you never seem to have enough time to do it yourself. It is tempting to call on the "fella down the street" who helps out your neighbour, or you could actually bring in a proper Great Leighs gardener. Generally speaking that "fellow down the road" will have very little gardening knowledge, while any self-respecting Great Leighs gardener be bursting with horticultural expertise. The decision as they say is yours.
You need your cherished garden to be given a degree of respect by whoever is looking after it. Therefore you should be careful that you choose a gardener in Great Leighs who can be relied upon. Trees and shrubs may require expert management, meaning this is more important than ever. Don't allow a cowboy to ruin your garden, hire a decent one at the outset.
The thing with gardens is that the jobs that need doing are routine, the same things need doing perhaps weekly, fortnightly or monthly. Such jobs require even more attention during spring and summer when rain and heat generates increased growth. The more commonplace place tasks that need doing in Great Leighs gardens are likely to be general tidying, lawn mowing, trimming hedges and weeding. Additional tasks like driveway cleaning, patio installation, repairing fences and waste removal will also be within the capabilities of most experienced gardeners.
How much you pay depends on who you hire, the hourly rate for a professional gardener will be at least £20, while you might get away with £10 - £15 if you take a chance on that "chap down the road". 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. Certain Great Leighs gardeners will want 2 or more hours work each time they visit your garden. Getting to and from your house, unloading and re-loading tools and equipment, and transporting your garden waste to the local tip are all factors that they have to consider before taking on a gardening job.
Asking for money up front is not normal for gardeners (unlike builders), so be extra careful if they do. Once your garden is finished you should expect to be asked for payment in cash, because most gardeners prefer this. Irrespective of what kind of payment you agree with your gardener, always ask for a receipt as proof that he/she has been paid.
Right from the start and before any work commences, ensure your gardener has a clear understanding of exactly what needs doing. The layout of your garden is something any decent gardener will be able to help you with, they will know which plants perform best where, don't be scared to ask for guidance. Taking away all the garden waste such as hedge clippings and lawn trimmings may not be included in the service, therefore you should establish whether your gardener will do this or not.
Gardening is thirsty work, so don't forget to make a hot or cold drink for your gardener to keep his/her spirits up. Considerations like this will always be appreciated and will often result in a better standard of work. In order to benefit from his/her knowledge and to keep a friendly rapport going, pop out for a chat now and again. Don't stand there all day twittering on however, which only results in a frustrated gardener and an incomplete garden.
