Finding a Gardener in Lewes: You should never be ashamed to ask for assistance if your Lewes garden is a bit lacklustre and you simply cannot find the time to tackle it yourself. You could ask the "guy down the road" who does a bit of gardening or you could call on a professional Lewes gardener. The problem is that "guy down the street" will probably know very little about gardening, whereas a professional will have a wide spectrum of knowledge.
You definately need to get a gardener who knows how to treat your garden and its contents. So, try to find a local Lewes gardener who is trustworthy and reliable. If you have a garden containing certain trees and shrubs, the importance of this is even more apparent. You shouldn't take any chances, hire the best gardener you can afford.
The jobs that need doing on a routine basis are much the same with both large and small gardens in Lewes. During spring and summer such gardening jobs need attending to more frequently. The more commonplace place tasks that need doing in Lewes gardens are likely to be weeding, general tidying, hedge trimming and mowing lawns. Most Lewes gardeners will also take on jobs like patio installation, fence repairs, cleaning driveways and waste removal.
Gardeners rates vary, but professionals will probably set you back around £20 per hour, with that "bloke down the road" accepting perhaps £10 or £12 for the same time period. Don't expect miracles, especially on the first session, and count on it taking more than a single hour for your gardener to make much difference to the look of your garden. It's possible that your gardener will not be prepared to work for periods of less than 2 hours or more. If you think that this is just to stretch the job out, think again. They have to travel to and from your home, they have to unload mowers and garden tools, and they will probably have to load your waste onto their trailer and take it to a nearby rubbish tip.
Asking for money up front is not normal for gardeners (unlike builders), so be extra careful if they do. If your gardener asks to be paid in cash after the job is complete, this is not something to be worried about and is normal within the trade. No matter if you pay your gardener with card, cash or cheque, ask for a receipt, you don't want any disputes or arguments about payments down the road.
Always explain exactly what your needs are, a list of projects will make things clearer for the gardener. Any decent Lewes 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. Establish that all of the weeds, lawn trimmings and resulting waste will be removed, they don't all offer this service.
Remember to keep the gardener supplied with drinks if you are around while the gardening is being done. Such thoughfulness will be appreciated and should ensure that your gardener does the best job possible. Having regular discussions with your gardener helps you to keep abreast of the latest ideas, and also develop a friendly relationship. This is not to say you should stand there all day gabbing, this will merely hinder your gardener and stop him/her from doing their job.
