Finding a Gardener in Marlow: If your garden in Marlow is getting messy and you really don't have the time to keep it up to scratch, you should not be embarrassed to ask for some help. That help should come in the shape of a professional Marlow gardener with a bit of experience, and not the "chap down the street" who knocks on your door and offers to jet wash your patio. Though quite often you will find that a professional gardener in Marlow doesn't hold any horticultural qualifications, he or she will probably be considerably more knowledgeable than your average "guy down the street". If you don't know who to choose, keep reading.
You need your cherished garden to be given a degree of respect by whoever is looking after it. So, be certain to locate a gardener in Marlow who you know you can trust. This is especially important if you have trees and shrubs, which need proper care and attention. Don't make do with any Tom, Dick or Harry, get yourself a decent gardener.
Even if you only have a small garden, there are lots of jobs that need doing on a regular basis. The warmth of spring and summer increases the frequency with which these jobs need to be done. Typically people with gardens in Marlow need jobs done like grass cutting, general cleaning, trimming hedges and weeding. It isn't unusual for professional Marlow gardeners to help you out with driveway cleaning, garden fencing, waste removal and patio 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. Visits spanning 2 to 3 hours are about the average for Marlow gardeners. This is to allow for travel, unloading tools and waste disposal.
Be extremely suspicious of any Marlow gardener who requests money up front before doing the job. However this could legitimately happen with bigger jobs like landscaping where money for materials is required. Payment in cash is not unusual for gardeners, though this will be requested after all work is completed and approved. No matter if you pay your gardener with card, cheque or cash, ask for a receipt, you don't want any disputes or arguments about payments down the road.
Be transparent about your requirements before any work begins, give the gardener a rota of tasks that you would like to be done. Knowing which plants are most suitable for your garden's condition isn't always easy, so ask your gardener for advice on this. Make sure that all twigs, weeds and lawn cuttings will be removed and disposed of afterwards, certain gardeners don't do this.
It doesn't hurt to offer your gardener a drink during their toils, after all gardening is thirsty work. Such thoughfulness will be appreciated and should ensure that your gardener does the best job possible. In order to benefit from his/her knowledge and to keep a friendly rapport going, pop out for a chat now and again. Don't overdo this though, because constant nattering will slow down the whole process and may put your gardener off returning.

If your plan is to not just have your garden tidied up but also to have it completely re-designed, you may need someone other than a standard gardener. Many gardeners prefer to stick to the regular tasks such as grass cutting and hedge trimming, leaving design and landscaping to others. Your gardener will soon let you know if he/she is confident about this branch of gardening. You might find that in the end you have to call in a specialist.

A few gardeners in Marlow will even hold a Waste Carriers Licence, which permits them to take larger quantities and different kinds of waste. If you've got a council garden waste bin (you normally have to pay extra for these), you might be able to get rid of most of it bit by bit, if the quantities of waste are only minimal.
