Finding a Gardener in Merrow: 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. So, you could contact the "chap down the street" who somebody told you about or alternatively get in touch with a professional Merrow gardener who will likely do a better job. The problem is that "fellow 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. Thus, your primary goal ought to be to find a gardener in the Merrow district who is known for doing a good job and is regarded as being dependable. If you've got trees, plants and shrubs needing special attention, this will become more important still. Avoid settling for any old chancer, find yourself a decent gardener.
Small gardens need routine attention just like larger ones and the jobs may be much the same but on a smaller scale. Of course such jobs will be more regular during the spring and summer months. In general weeding, general cleaning, trimming hedges and grass cutting are the common jobs that people in Merrow need doing in their gardens. Tasks such as patio installation, driveway cleaning, garden fencing and waste clearance are other things that your gardener will probably help you with.
Professional gardeners do not of course come cheap and while the "geezer down the street" may be happy to charge £10 to £15 an hour, a figure of £20 per hour is more usual for professionals. One hour in your garden is not very much and the average gardener will need to spend more time than that to get much done. Some gardeners may even insist on a minimum slot of two or three hours. Remember, they have to travel to and from your house, and maybe also get to the tip with your rubbish.
Asking for money up front is not normal for gardeners (unlike builders), so be extra careful if they do. Exceptions to this rule could be in respect of large projects such as fencing or decking where considerable amounts of materials are needed. Many Merrow gardeners favour payment in cash, very few will take cards, they will only ask after you have approved their work. Whatever kind of payment you and your gardener agree on, get a receipt to avoid later arguments.
Be clear about your expectations from the very beginning, prepare a list of work you need doing. Knowing which plants are most suitable for your garden's condition isn't always easy, so ask your gardener for advice on this. Getting rid of your lawn trimmings and hedge clippings won't always be part of the service so ensure that in your case it is.
Though usually a gardener will bring along a flask or bottle of water, it is nice to offer him/her a cup of tea while working hard on your garden. You can expect your gardener to very much appreciate gestures like this and to repay you with increased output. Pop out for a chat with your gardener from time to time so you can benefit from their ideas and keep a friendly rapport. This does not mean you should pester them with constant wittering which will simply hinter them and slow down the work rate.
Merrow Garden Design
When it comes to the re-designing of gardens it can pay to find a person who specialises in this area of horticulture. Certain gardeners in Merrow will put their hand to anything related to horticulture, whilst others stick to the routine stuff. A brief discussion about this aspect of gardening should soon establish if your gardener is willing to take it on. If not it will be a case of finding an expert.
Tree Surgery Merrow
When required, some gardeners in Merrow will be willing to do some basic tree surgery tasks, as most of them will have a fundamental knowledge of shrubs and trees. While your local Merrow gardener ought to have the appropriate skills to handle clipping and pruning, for any major work it is best to use the specialist services of a qualified tree surgeon.
It isn't uncommon for trees to overgrow and get out of hand, causing a real danger to outbuildings or even your property. You need to keep a keen eye on any trees that are on your land, since the roots can also do harm to sewage lines, driveways, footings and patio areas. If you have suspicions that any trees on your property in Merrow are causing problems, have a chat with your gardener first, because they will likely be able to help.
