Finding a Gardener in Heanton Punchardon: 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. Think carefully before you hire someone because lots of people in Heanton Punchardon do gardening, some are professional gardeners and some just dabble. Although many professional gardeners don't have any formal qualifications, they generally have more relevant knowledge than that "chap down the street" does.
It is not too much to ask that any gardener treats your garden, plants and contents with a degree of respect. Therefore you should take your time in finding a gardener in the Heanton Punchardon area who can be trusted. When you have a garden containing trees and shrubs needing expert care, this is even more important. Don't make do with any old rubbish, track down a proper gardener.
Whether your garden is large or small, there will always be jobs that need attending to on a routine basis. These jobs will need doing more regularly in the spring and summer and perhaps not at all in the winter. Among the most common jobs needing to be done in Heanton Punchardon gardens are hedge pruning, grass cutting, general tidying and weeding. More involved tasks might include: repairing fences, cleaning driveways, waste clearance and laying patios.
Gardeners rates vary, but professionals will probably set you back around £20 per hour, with that "chap down the road" accepting perhaps £10 or £12 for the same time period. It might be the case that your chosen gardener will need more than an hour to whip your garden into shape. For it to be worth their while, gardeners generally favour doing 2 or 3 hours at a stretch. 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.
It would not be normal for a genuine Heanton Punchardon gardener to ask for payment in advance, so be wary if this happens to you. This rule may not apply with larger projects such as decking installation when payment of some money for materials is normal. It is not unusual for gardeners to ask for payment in cash, but only after the work is done. Make sure that you get a receipt, no matter what type of payment you agree on, this will avoid arguments down the line.
Right from the start and before any work commences, ensure your gardener has a clear understanding of exactly what needs doing. Don't be afraid to ask for advice, your gardener is the best person to tell you which plants are best for your garden. 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.
Spare a thought for your gardener toiling away on your property with no facilities at hand. Offer them the use of your toilet and perhaps provide a drink. Such kindnesses are much appreciated and will likely be repaid by extra efforts on your behalf. It helps to keep things friendly, so popping out for a chat every now and again will help to do this and also give you the chance to get some tips from your gardener. But don't hold them up with incessant chatter, this will only hinder them and may result in inferior or incomplete work.
Tree Surgery Heanton Punchardon
If needed, some gardeners in Heanton Punchardon will be prepared to do some basic tree surgery tasks, as most of them will have at least a fundamental knowledge of trees and plants. Although your neighbourhood Heanton Punchardon gardener should have the appropriate skills to undertake clipping and pruning, for any important work it is advisable to use the professional services of a qualified tree surgeon.
It's not unusual for larger trees to become overgrown, creating a danger to electricity lines or even your house. The reality is that footings, driveways, sewer lines and patio areas can be seriously damaged by tree roots, therefore keeping a watchful eye on any trees growing on your land is crucially important. If you are concerned that these or other problems are being caused by any of the trees in your garden in Heanton Punchardon, have a word with your gardener first.
Garden Clearance Heanton Punchardon
If you permit "green" waste and general rubbish to accumulate in your garden, the time will arrive when you need a garden clearance service. Some Heanton Punchardon gardeners will be prepared to do this, but unless they hold a Waste Carrier's Licence, they will be limited in the amount of waste they can dispose of. If only small volumes 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've got access to one), otherwise you'll need some extra help.
Obviously, a lot of gardens in Heanton Punchardon are piled up with all kinds of trash, and not merely "green" waste, so for this form of project you'll possibly have to get in touch with an authorised Heanton Punchardon garden clearance specialist. There are other possibilities you could think about if you have a substantial quantity of junk in your garden, hiring a mini-skip may be an alternative that you could look into. Together with your garden waste, this would maybe also enable you to clear out your shed, your garage and even your loft space, if they're junked-up too.
