Finding a Gardener in Stedham: Nobody likes to see their garden looking a little the worse for wear, so fetching in some outside help is always a possibility if you can't find the time to spare. You could ask the "guy down the road" who does a bit of gardening or you could call on a professional Stedham gardener. 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 "chap down the road" is going to have. If you don't know who to choose, keep reading.
Your garden is precious and you don't want it ruined by somebody who doesn't know how to appreciate it. Therefore you should be careful that you choose a gardener in Stedham who can be relied upon. If you have a garden containing certain trees and shrubs, the importance of this is even more apparent. Get yourself a good gardener, don't just settle for any old one.
The thing about gardening is that there are always jobs that need doing routinely, even on small gardens. During spring and summer such gardening jobs need attending to more frequently. The list of the most common gardening jobs will come as no surprise and includes the likes of weeding, general tidying, mowing lawns and hedge trimming. More involved tasks might include: driveway cleaning, waste removal, repairing fences and decking installation.
Regular garden maintenance can cost quite a bit of money because an experienced gardener will probably charge you something like twenty pounds per hour worked. It would be unfair to expect any gardener to whip your garden into shape in just a single hour, so count on it taking longer than this. Generally gardeners would prefer to spend a minimum of 2 - 3 hours to make it worthwhile. Getting to and from your house, unloading and re-loading tools and equipment, and transporting your garden waste to the local tip are all factors that they have to consider before taking on a gardening job.
Asking for money up front is not normal for gardeners (unlike builders), so be extra careful if they do. After the completion of your garden it would not be at all uncommon for your gardener to ask to be paid in cash. No matter what form of payment you agree on, be sure to get a receipt so there are no arguments later on.
Make certain the gardener knows what your expectations are for your garden, job lists can help make everything clearer. Your gardener is there to help you, so if you have any doubts about plants or their positioning, ask for advice. 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. You don't want to get left with a big pile of waste that you can't get rid of.
Offer your gardener a hot or cold drink while they are at work and the use of a toilet is also helpful. Keeping a gardener "sweet" with little acts of kindness like this may be repaid by increased efforts on their part. Pop out for a chat with your gardener from time to time so you can benefit from their ideas and keep a friendly rapport. But you should not hinder their work with endless talking, they may rush to catch up and not do the job properly.
