Finding a Gardener in Wigmore: You should never be ashamed to ask for assistance if your Wigmore garden is a bit lacklustre and you simply cannot find the time to tackle it yourself. That help should come in the shape of a professional Wigmore gardener with a bit of experience, and not the "fellow down the road" who knocks on your door and offers to jet wash your patio. Whilst formal qualifications are not a requirement for gardeners, a professional is likely to have a wider range of knowledge than that "bloke down the road" and will have a reputation to uphold. Ultimately, you will have to choose what is best for your garden.
Gardeners who know their stuff will have respect for your garden and treat it much as they would their own. Always be certain to get hold of a local Wigmore gardener who can be counted on. It is important that your plants and trees are looked after correctly, even if they are mostly run of the mill. Don't make do with any old rubbish, track down a proper gardener.
Small gardens need routine attention just like larger ones and the jobs may be much the same but on a smaller scale. Gardener visits will generally need to be more regular in spring and summer, with jobs being done more frequently. Most people in Wigmore who have gardens will typically need tasks done like weeding, mowing lawns, general tidying and hedge cutting. Additional tasks like driveway cleaning, waste removal, garden fencing and decking installation will also be within the capabilities of most experienced gardeners.
While that "guy down the road" might quote you ten to fifteen pounds an hour to "do" your garden, an experienced gardener will come at a considerably higher price (£20 per hour maybe). You shouldn't expect too much from your gardener on his/her first visit, because gardening takes time and dependant on the amount of work that needs doing, several hours may be required. It's not uncommon for a gardener to request at least two hour minimum visit times. 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.
Asking for money up front is not normal for gardeners (unlike builders), so be extra careful if they do. If your gardener asks to be paid in cash after the job is complete, this is not something to be worried about and is normal within the trade. Insist on getting a receipt especially where cash is involved, this will avoid any disputes about unpaid work later on.
At the outset explain to your gardener what your exact requirements are, a job list is also helpful in setting out your priorities. 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. Removing and disposing of lawn and hedge clippings isn't always part of the service so make sure that your gardener will do this for you. It is unfair to leave you with piles of garden waste.
Gardening makes you thirsty so keep yours supplied with drinks if you're at home. Keeping a gardener "sweet" with little acts of kindness like this may be repaid by increased efforts on their part. It helps to keep things friendly, so popping out for a chat every now and again will help to do this and also give you the chance to get some tips from your gardener. However, avoid incessant prattling which will only annoy the gardener and impede his/her progress.
Wigmore Garden Design
While a gardener may be a genius when it comes to looking after your garden, it might be a different "kettle of fish" when it comes to garden design. It might depend on exactly what you have in mind, simple re-designs will be within the capabilities of most professional gardeners. See if your gardener is happy doing this. It could be that in the end you need to contact an expert.
