Finding a Gardener in Abingdon: If you wake up one day and realise just how untidy and overgrown your garden has become, it might be appropriate to call in somebody to help you out, unless you can find the time in your busy life to tackle it yourself. Now, some Abingdon people choose to fetch in a professional gardener while others plump for the "geezer down the road" who tinkers around with gardens. The problem is that "guy down the road" will probably know very little about gardening, whereas a professional will have a wide spectrum of knowledge. That of course is a decision that you will have to make.
It is not too much to ask that any gardener treats your garden, plants and contents with a degree of respect. Always be certain to get hold of a local Abingdon gardener who can be counted on. If you've got trees, plants and shrubs needing special attention, this will become more important still. Don't settle for less than the best.
The thing about gardening is that there are always jobs that need doing routinely, even on small gardens. As you can imagine the need for this regular maintenance is more necessary in spring and summer. You'll not be surprised to learn that the most commonly requested gardening jobs are lawn mowing, weeding, general tidying and trimming hedges. Many quality gardeners in Abingdon will also be willing to assist with laying patios, waste removal, repairing fences and cleaning driveways.
While that "chap down the street" 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). Gardening takes time and one hour will not be enough for most gardeners to make much progress on your garden. Sessions of 2 or 3 hours are standard for many gardeners in Abingdon. If you think that this is just to stretch the job out, think again. They have to travel to and from your home, they have to unload mowers and garden tools, and they will probably have to load your waste onto their trailer and take it to a nearby rubbish tip.
It is not the norm for Abingdon gardeners to demand money up front, be very suspicious of anyone who does this. Payment in cash is not unusual for gardeners, though this will be requested after all work is completed and approved. Whatever kind of payment you and your gardener agree on, get a receipt to avoid later arguments.
Giving a clear understanding of just what needs doing before work begins, will better help your gardener meet your expectations. Make the most of having a specialist on hand and follow their guidance with regards to your choice of plants and shrubs. Establish that all of the weeds, lawn trimmings and resulting waste will be removed, they don't all offer this service.
It doesn't hurt to offer your gardener a drink during their toils, after all gardening is thirsty work. Small things like this will help make the gardener happy in his/her work and a contented gardener may work harder on your behalf. Pop out for a chat with your gardener from time to time so you can benefit from their ideas and keep a friendly rapport. It is not however a good idea to pester them constantly which will have the effect of annoying them and slowing the work down.
