Finding a Gardener in Modbury: Calling in some outside help to get your bedraggled garden back into shape, isn't something to be ashamed of if you never seem to have enough time to do it yourself. Now you could call in a proper Modbury gardener or you could try the "fellow down the road". While you don't need horticultural qualifications to be a gardener, most professional gardeners in the Modbury area will have a lot more knowledge than that "guy down the street" is likely to have.
It is never a good idea to have somebody looking after your garden who doesn't know what they're doing. So, your main objective must be to find a trustworthy Modbury gardener who has a reputation for doing an excellent job. This is especially important if you have trees and shrubs, which need proper care and attention. Don't get stuck with rogues and cowboys, hire a proper gardener.
Those monthly, fortnightly or even weekly gardening jobs are often necessary even if your garden is small. The frequency of visits by your gardener will increase throughout the spring and summer and may not be necessary at all in winter. Typically people with gardens in Modbury need jobs done like hedge cutting, weeding, general cleaning and lawn mowing. Most Modbury gardeners will also take on jobs like patio installation, waste removal, repairing fences and driveway cleaning.
Experienced gardeners don't come cheap and if you are being charged around £20 per hour, that is about average. Generally a professional gardener will want to spend more than one hour on your garden. It's not uncommon for a gardener to request at least two hour minimum visit times. When you take into consideration travelling time, getting equipment on and off the van, and going to the local tip with your garden waste, this is understandable.
Be cautious of anyone who demands payment for gardening services in advance. An exception might be when a large job is involved such as fencing or decking when some money up front may be asked for. When the work has been completed to your satisfaction it would not be unusual for your gardener to ask for payment in cash. Whether you pay by cheque, card or cash, insist on a receipt, this will prevent later disputes over payment.
Don't just leave them to get on with it, make sure your explain your exact requirements before they start. Any self-respecting gardener will be more than happy to help you get your garden in order, use this help and guidance wisely. 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. Such kindnesses are much appreciated and will likely be repaid by extra efforts on your behalf. Go out and talk to your gardener now and again to keep a friendly rapport going and also to pick their brains. In doing this, don't prevent them from getting on with their work, because this will make the job take longer and cost you more money in the long run.
