Finding a Gardener in Lapford: If your garden is looking overgrown and untidy you should think about calling in some help if you don't have the inclination or time to tackle it on your own. Now you could call in a proper Lapford gardener or you could try the "guy down the street". While a proper gardener may not have any qualifications he or she will know a bit more than that "guy down the road".
You certainly don't want your cherished garden to be in any way mistreated by an ignorant or uninformed "gardener" who is just in it for a buck. So, be certain to locate a gardener in Lapford who you know you can trust. This is particularly crucial when your garden contains shrubs and trees which require special attention. Find yourself a decent Lapford gardener, not just any bloke who knocks on your door.
There is a seemingly endless list of jobs to be done in the garden, even if it is relatively small. 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 Lapford gardens are likely to be weeding, hedge cutting, general cleaning and lawn mowing. Most Lapford gardeners will also take on jobs like waste clearance, repairing fences, cleaning driveways and decking installation.
The rates charged by professional gardeners varies widely but if you are paying an hourly rate of about £20, that is reasonable. You may find that your gardener will not be prepared to put in just an hours work. It would not be that unusual for a gardener to have a minimum visit time of 2 to 3 hours. This isn't surprising when you appreciate that they have to get to and from your house, load/unload, and resposibly dispose of your waste at the local recycling centre.
It should never be necessary to pay your gardener in advance of doing the work, give short shrift to anybody who asks for this. It is quite normal for a gardener to request cash payment, rather than card or cheque, so make sure you have some to hand. Having proof of payment is essential to avoid quarrels about unpaid bills, so make sure you get a receipt.
Right from the start and before any work commences, ensure your gardener has a clear understanding of exactly what needs doing. Any self-respecting gardener will be more than happy to help you get your garden in order, use this help and guidance wisely. 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. Being lumbered with a big pile of garden waste is not a good idea.
While most gardeners bring their own food and refreshments it doesn't hurt to ask if they would like a cup of tea or coffee while they are working. You may be repaid for thoughtfulness like this by a better service and a happier gardener. Engage in some conversation with your gardener whenever you get the chance so that you can build a friendly relationship and benefit from their knowledge and ideas. But don't hold them up with incessant chatter, this will only hinder them and may result in inferior or incomplete work.
Tree Surgery Lapford
If required, some gardeners in Lapford will be willing to do some basic tree surgery, as the majority of them will have at least an elementary knowledge of shrubs and trees. For minor pruning and cutting back, your local Lapford gardener should have all the required skills, but it is best to use the expert services of a qualified tree surgeon for any important work.
It's not at all unusual for larger trees to overgrow and get out of hand, creating a hazard to utility lines or even your house. You must keep a watchful eye on any trees that are growing on your land, as their roots can also do harm to pathways, sewage pipes, driveways and building footings. If you suspect that these or other problems are being triggered by trees within your property boundaries in Lapford, have a chat with your gardener first for advice.
