Finding a Gardener in Henley-on-Thames: If your garden is in a bit of a state and you don't have the time to sort it out yourself, there is no shame in calling in some help. It's often easy to just bring in the "bloke down the road" who does odd jobs and gardening on the side, but think carefully, would a proper gardener be a better choice? Whilst formal qualifications are not a requirement for gardeners, a professional is likely to have a wider range of knowledge than that "fella down the street" and will have a reputation to uphold. This is a choice that you alone will have to make.
You do not want your precious garden to be spoilt by someone who doesn't have to knowledge to look after it properly. Make sure you locate a dependable Henley-on-Thames gardener who'll do a real good job. If you have a garden containing certain trees and shrubs, the importance of this is even more apparent. Don't put up with "rogue trader" gardeners, choose a dependable one.
The thing with gardens is that the jobs that need doing are routine, the same things need doing perhaps weekly, fortnightly or monthly. With the arrival of spring the frequency with which such tasks need attending to increases. In general weeding, mowing lawns, general tidying and hedge trimming are the common jobs that people in Henley-on-Thames need doing in their gardens.

Regular garden maintenance can cost quite a bit of money because an experienced gardener will probably charge you something like twenty pounds per hour worked. 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. You might find that your gardener will not be interested in visits of less than two hours. This is understandable when you factor in travelling time, loading/unloading, and waste disposal.
Be extremely suspicious of any Henley-on-Thames gardener who requests money up front before doing the job. Gardeners will often prefer to be paid in cash, although only once the work is finished. Insist on getting a receipt especially where cash is involved, this will avoid any disputes about unpaid work later on.
At the outset explain to your gardener what your exact requirements are, a job list is also helpful in setting out your priorities. Any decent Henley-on-Thames gardener will be more than willing to share their knowledge of plants and shrubs, use their guidance to choose what is best for your garden. Gardening tends to generate a lot of waste, so verify that your gardener is going to dispose of this when they are finished. Except when you have a use for it, such as building a compost heap with your lawn trimmings.
Offer your gardener a hot or cold drink while they are at work and the use of a toilet is also helpful. This is always appreciated by gardeners and they will repay you by doing an extra fine job. Having regular discussions with your gardener helps you to keep abreast of the latest ideas, and also develop a friendly relationship. As with most things in life, moderation is the key. Keep chats short and to the point so that they can get on with what they are there for.
