Finding a Gardener in Oakthorpe: If your garden is in a bit of a state and you don't have the time to sort it out yourself, there is no shame in calling in some help. It is tempting to call on the "chap down the road" who helps out your neighbour, or you could actually bring in a proper Oakthorpe gardener. While it isn't necessary to have qualifications to work as a gardener in Oakthorpe, professional usually beat that "geezer down the road" hands down when it comes to gardening knowledge. The decision is of course up to you.
It is not too much to ask that any gardener treats your garden, plants and contents with a degree of respect. Always ensure that you locate a gardener in Oakthorpe who you can rely on to do a nice job. Trees and shrubs may require expert management, meaning this is more important than ever. Don't put up with chancers, seek out a good gardener.
There are plenty of jobs that require regular attention even if you've only got a small garden. In spring and summer you should organise more frequent gardener visits as the jobs that need doing increase. The most common jobs that people with gardens need doing in Oakthorpe are general cleaning, weeding, mowing lawns and trimming hedges. There are plenty more jobs that might need doing for example waste clearance, driveway cleaning, repairing fences and decking installation, most Oakthorpe gardeners will also be willing to tackle these.
Good gardeners don't come cheap, a professional gardener is likely to charge you £20 per hour or more, while that "guy down the street" might do it for £10 to £12 per hour. Generally a professional gardener will want to spend more than one hour on your garden. It's possible that your gardener will not be prepared to work for periods of less than 2 hours or more. 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.
Don't pay any Oakthorpe gardener in advance of the job being done, this is not the norm and they may disappear with your money. It is not unusual for gardeners to ask for payment in cash, but only after the work is done. Whether you pay by cash, cheque or card, insist on a receipt, this will prevent later disputes over payment.
Prior to work commencing give the gardener a clear picture of what you're expecting to be done. It is nice to have an expert on hand to help whip your garden into shape, make sure you exploit their knowledge to the full. Establish that all of the weeds, lawn trimmings and resulting waste will be removed, they don't all offer this service. It is generally better for them to take it rather than cluttering up your garden.
Gardening is thirsty work, so don't forget to make a hot or cold drink for your gardener to keep his/her spirits up. Your gardener will be grateful for such kindness. Having a friendly rapport with your gardener is also important, so chat with them on a regular basis, discuss plans and bounce ideas off each other. Most gardeners will not however want you standing over them all day nattering.
