The thing about gardening is that there are always jobs that need doing routinely, even on small gardens. These repeat jobs will have to be done a lot more often in springtime and summer, dying off to nothing by winter. The list of the most common gardening jobs will come as no surprise and includes the likes of mowing lawns, general cleaning, weeding and hedge trimming. Other jobs that professional gardeners will usually handle include: waste removal, laying patios, garden fencing and cleaning driveways.

Getting your garden done by a professional isn't cheap and you are likely to be paying close to £20 per hour for the priviledge. Don't expect miracles, especially on the first session, and count on it taking more than a single hour for your gardener to make much difference to the look of your garden. You might find that your gardener will not be interested in visits of less than two hours. 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 wary of "gardeners" who ask for payment in advance, no genuine Ockbrook gardener would do this. However, you might expect to pay a deposit for large jobs such as fencing or decking. Once the work is completed, it's not unusual for the gardener to ask for payment in cash rather than a cheque. Insist on getting a receipt especially where cash is involved, this will avoid any disputes about unpaid work later on.

Let the gardener know about your precise expectations before any work begins. Your gardener will be there to give you advice and guidance on any aspect of your garden, so make the most of his/her knowledge. Not all gardeners like to take away the waste and lawn clippings, so check that yours does.

It doesn't hurt to offer your gardener a drink during their toils, after all gardening is thirsty work. These acts of kindness can go a long way and may even result in a better quality of job. It is useful to always have a friendly relationship with your gardener, so try to have regular chats with him/her, sharing ideas and opinions. However, avoid incessant prattling which will only annoy the gardener and impede his/her progress.
