Finding a Gardener in Adlington: 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. Now, you should be looking for the "right" kind of help in the shape of a professional gardener rather than the "fella down the road" who puts his hand to anything. It will depend on exactly what you need doing, if it is just mowing your lawn then that "fella down the road" may be good enough, for more complex tasks, a professional will be more knowledgeable. That of course is a decision that you will have to make.
Everyone likes their garden to be looked after properly and by a gardener who knows his/her stuff. So, your aim should be to find a gardener in the Adlington area who can be trusted to do a good job on your garden. Some plants and trees need special care, in which case this is even more important. Don't allow a cowboy to ruin your garden, hire a decent one at the outset.
The thing with gardens is that the jobs that need doing are routine, the same things need doing perhaps weekly, fortnightly or monthly. It goes without saying that regular garden maintenance is needed more frequently during the spring and summer months with a decline in the winter. In general mowing lawns, general tidying, weeding and hedge cutting are the common jobs that people in Adlington need doing in their gardens. Many quality gardeners in Adlington will also be willing to assist with garden fencing, decking installation, waste clearance and driveway cleaning.
How much you pay depends on who you hire, the hourly rate for a professional gardener will be at least £20, while you might get away with £10 - £15 if you take a chance on that "fella down the street". Usually gardeners will not be happy doing just one hours work. It would not be that unusual for a gardener to have a minimum visit time of 2 to 3 hours. This is not greed or stretching the job out, but simply making allowances for travel, unloading and waste removal when necessary.
Be extremely suspicious of any Adlington gardener who requests money up front before doing the job. You might however expect to pay a deposit for materials with larger tasks such as hard landscaping. Of course gardeners often ask for payment in cash after the work is completed. You don't want any arguments about payment in the future, so be sure to get a receipt.
Right from the start and before any work commences, ensure your gardener has a clear understanding of exactly what needs doing. Don't be afraid to ask for advice, your gardener is the best person to tell you which plants are best for your garden. Some gardeners are not willing to dispose of all your garden waste, ensuring that yours will do this should be a priority.
While most gardeners bring their own food and refreshments it doesn't hurt to ask if they would like a cup of tea or coffee while they are working. 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. 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.
Tree Surgery Adlington
If needed, some gardeners in Adlington will be quite willing to do some basic tree surgery tasks, as most of them will have a reasonable knowledge of trees and plants. For incidental clipping and pruning, your neighbourhood Adlington gardener should have all the appropriate skills, but it is best to use the expert services of a qualified tree surgeon for any important work.
Tree damage to outbuildings and property is not at all out of the ordinary, and this can swiftly occur if trees are permitted to get overgrown. You need to keep a close eye on any trees on your land, seeing as their roots can also do harm to sewage lines, drives, terraces and building footings. If you believe that any trees on your property in Adlington are causing problems, have a word with your gardener first, because they will likely be able to help.

Garden Clearance Adlington
Even though many gardeners will be ready to do a certain amount of garden clearance in Adlington, a lot of them will not hold a Waste Carrier's Licence, and will thus be restricted in the quantity of waste they are able to remove. If only relatively small quantities of waste are involved it may be possible to dispose of most of it by using your council green waste bin (if you've got one), otherwise you'll need additional help.
Needless to say, many gardens in Adlington are piled up with all sorts of junk, and not just green waste, so for this form of project you'll probably have to contact a registered Adlington garden clearance specialist. There are other options you could consider if you have a large quantity of rubbish in your garden, hiring a mini-skip might be an alternative you could look at. This would allow you to get shot of not only garden waste, but perhaps also clear out your shed, your garage and maybe even you attic.
Generally speaking "green" garden waste would be the likes of: dirt, hedge clippings, plants, pruned branches, shrubs, twigs, turf, logs, lawn trimmings and rocks. (Tags: Garden Clearances Adlington, Garden Clearance Adlington, Rubbish Removal Adlington).
