Finding a Gardener in Swansea: 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. When you take the plunge and do this, be careful who you choose. Do you call the "chap down the road" or an established local Swansea gardener? While a proper gardener may not have any qualifications he or she will know a bit more than that "guy down the road". If you don't know who to choose, keep reading.
Gardeners who know their stuff will have respect for your garden and treat it much as they would their own. So, your aim should be to find a gardener in the Swansea area who can be trusted to do a good job on your garden. If you've got trees, plants and shrubs needing special attention, this will become more important still. Find yourself a decent Swansea gardener, not just any bloke who knocks on your door.
All gardens, whether large or small need regular upkeep and maintenance with lots of jobs to be done. Spring is the busiest time with jobs needing to be done more frequently than during the rest of the year. As a rule hedge cutting, general cleaning, mowing lawns and weeding are the typical gardening jobs that need doing on a regular basis. Jobs like cleaning driveways, waste clearance, laying patios and fence repairs are also something most Swansea gardeners will tackle.
Gardeners rates vary, but professionals will probably set you back around £20 per hour, with that "geezer down the street" accepting perhaps £10 or £12 for the same time period. Gardening takes time and one hour will not be enough for most gardeners to make much progress on your garden. Most gardeners will have a minimum visit time of 2 hours. This is not greed or stretching the job out, but simply making allowances for travel, unloading and waste removal when necessary.
Payment in advance is not something that gardeners usually ask for, so be cautious if your gardener requires this. When the gardener has finished working you may be asked for payment in cash, this is not at all unusual. Insist on getting a receipt especially where cash is involved, this will avoid any disputes about unpaid work later on.
Make sure your gardener is clear about your requirements, give him/her a list of jobs before they begin. Any self-respecting gardener will be more than happy to help you get your garden in order, use this help and guidance wisely. The removal of the waste that has been generated isn't something that all gardeners are prepared to do, make sure that yours does. Except when you have a use for it, such as building a compost heap with your lawn trimmings.
It doesn't hurt to offer your gardener a drink during their toils, after all gardening is thirsty work. Gardeners are appreciative of gestures like this and will no doubt reward you by doing the best possible job. In order to benefit from his/her knowledge and to keep a friendly rapport going, pop out for a chat now and again. This is not to say you should stand there all day gabbing, this will merely hinder your gardener and stop him/her from doing their job.
