Finding a Gardener in Petts Wood: If your garden is looking overgrown and untidy you should think about calling in some help if you don't have the inclination or time to tackle it on your own. That help should come in the shape of a professional Petts Wood gardener with a bit of experience, and not the "fellow down the street" who knocks on your door and offers to jet wash your patio. Although there is no guarantee that a professional gardener will have any recognised horticultural qualifications, he/she will almost certainly have a great deal more gardening knowledge than that "geezer down the street" is going to have.
You do not want your precious garden to be spoilt by someone who doesn't have to knowledge to look after it properly. Always be certain to get hold of a local Petts Wood gardener who can be counted on. When your garden features certain shrubs, plants and trees needing particular care, this will be even more essential. Don't put up with chancers, seek out a good gardener.
Gardens are all about routine maintenance, with jobs to be done fortnightly or monthly, even with smaller gardens. The frequency of visits by your gardener will increase throughout the spring and summer and may not be necessary at all in winter. As a rule weeding, trimming hedges, general tidying and lawn mowing are the typical gardening jobs that need doing on a regular basis. Most Petts Wood gardeners will also take on jobs like driveway cleaning, waste removal, fence repairs and patio installation.
Gardeners rates vary, but professionals will probably set you back around £20 per hour, with that "fella down the street" accepting perhaps £10 or £12 for the same time period. Most Petts Wood gardeners will not want to do just one hours work. At least two to three hours work is often the minimum that gardeners will wish to put in each time. This is not greed or stretching the job out, but simply making allowances for travel, unloading and waste removal when necessary.
Be wary of "gardeners" who ask for payment in advance, no genuine Petts Wood gardener would do this. "Cash is king" as they say, and most gardeners prefer this type of payment, but only once the work is complete of course. Make sure that you get a receipt, no matter what type of payment you agree on, this will avoid arguments down the line.
Right from the start and before any work commences, ensure your gardener has a clear understanding of exactly what needs doing. Any decent Petts Wood gardener will be more than willing to share their knowledge of plants and shrubs, use their guidance to choose what is best for your garden. Taking away all the garden waste such as hedge clippings and lawn trimmings may not be included in the service, therefore you should establish whether your gardener will do this or not.
Gardening makes you thirsty so keep yours supplied with drinks if you're at home. These acts of kindness can go a long way and may even result in a better quality of job. To keep a friendly rapport going with your gardener and to gain the maximum benefit from their knowledge, pop out for a chat whenever you get the chance. However, avoid incessant prattling which will only annoy the gardener and impede his/her progress.
