Finding a Gardener in Long Hanborough: Bringing in some outside assistance to knock a tired and bedraggled garden back into shape is something many busy people have to do these days, especially after a long and blustery winter. You could ask the "guy down the road" who does a bit of gardening or you could call on a professional Long Hanborough gardener. The problem is that "chap down the street" will probably know very little about gardening, whereas a professional will have a wide spectrum of knowledge.
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, finding a trustworthy and reliable Long Hanborough gardener is something you should take care in doing. This is particularly crucial when your garden contains shrubs and trees which require special attention. Hire a professional gardener and never settle for second best.
Even if your garden is relatively small, there are a handful of jobs which 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. Typically general tidying, weeding, mowing lawns and hedge cutting are the more common jobs that folk with gardens in Long Hanborough need done. Most decent gardeners in Long Hanborough will tackle other jobs such as waste removal, driveway cleaning, repairing fences and patio installation.
Decent gardeners will come at a premium, so don't expect them to work for peanuts. Charges generally start at approximately twenty pounds per hour. One hours work is not enough to make much impression on your garden, so you should reckon on them needing to spend more time than this. Many gardeners might even insist on a minimum visit time of at least two hours or so. This is not greed or stretching the job out, but simply making allowances for travel, unloading and waste removal when necessary.
Avoid any "gardener" who demands money up front, no trustworthy Long Hanborough gardener will expect this. Of course gardeners often ask for payment in cash after the work is completed. Irrespective of what kind of payment you agree with your gardener, always ask for a receipt as proof that he/she has been paid.
Giving a clear understanding of just what needs doing before work begins, will better help your gardener meet your expectations. Your gardener is there to help you, so if you have any doubts about plants or their positioning, ask for advice. Some gardeners are not willing to dispose of all your garden waste, ensuring that yours will do this should be a priority. When they have done a good job of tidying your garden they should really take away the rubbish.
It doesn't hurt to offer your gardener a drink during their toils, after all gardening is thirsty work. Gardeners are appreciative of gestures like this and will no doubt reward you by doing the best possible job. So that you can forge a friendly relationship with your gardener it is often a nice idea to pop out for a chat now and again. This also helps you to gain some additional gardening knowhow and useful tips. But don't hold them up with incessant chatter, this will only hinder them and may result in inferior or incomplete work.

It should not be automatically assumed that a gardener who mows your lawn or trims your hedge will be good at garden design. Not all gardeners who do routine maintenance will be skilled in the design area of gardening. Speak to your gardener and determine if this branch of gardening is something they are comfortable with. In many instances it becomes necessary to bring in an expert.
Tree Surgery Long Hanborough
