Finding a Gardener in Aintree: Bringing in some outside assistance to knock a tired and bedraggled garden back into shape is something many busy people have to do these days, especially after a long and blustery winter. Before you let someone loose on your prized garden you should consider the options. Should you call on a specialist Aintree gardener or the "chap down the road" who has a go at anything? Whilst formal qualifications are not a requirement for gardeners, a professional is likely to have a wider range of knowledge than that "geezer down the road" and will have a reputation to uphold.
Everyone likes their garden to be looked after properly and by a gardener who knows his/her stuff. Therefore, your goal must be to locate a gardener in Aintree who does a thorough job and can be depended upon. Even if your garden has only run of the mill plants you will want them looked after correctly. Don't get stuck with rogues and cowboys, hire a proper gardener.
The routine jobs which need doing in the garden are likely to be much the same regardless whether your garden is small or big. During spring and summer such gardening jobs need attending to more frequently. In general trimming hedges, lawn mowing, general tidying and weeding are the common jobs that people in Aintree need doing in their gardens. Additional tasks like fence repairs, cleaning driveways, waste clearance and decking installation will also be within the capabilities of most experienced gardeners.
Good gardeners don't come cheap, a professional gardener is likely to charge you £20 per hour or more, while that "bloke down the street" might do it for £10 to £12 per hour. 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. Most will want to put in at least 2 to 3 hours at a time to make it worth their while. When you consider things like travel, tool unloading and re-loading, and taking your waste to the tip this is easy to understand.
It should never be necessary to pay your gardener in advance of doing the work, give short shrift to anybody who asks for this. Payment of some money up front could be appropriate when bigger jobs are being done like decking installation. Quite often a gardener will ask to be paid in cash once the work is complete and that is of course fine. No matter what form of payment you agree on, be sure to get a receipt so there are no arguments later on.
Always explain exactly what your needs are, a list of projects will make things clearer for the gardener. Planning out exactly what goes where in your garden is important, the help and guidance of your gardener will help you to get it right. Some gardeners are not willing to dispose of all your garden waste, ensuring that yours will do this should be a priority.
Working in the garden can get cold in winter and hot in summer, so spare a thought for your gardener and keep him/her supplied with a drink. Acts of kindness such as this will make your gardener feel appreciated and he or she will work all the harder for it. Having a friendly rapport with your gardener is also important, so chat with them on a regular basis, discuss plans and bounce ideas off each other. But don't hold them up with incessant chatter, this will only hinder them and may result in inferior or incomplete work.
Garden Design Aintree
A gardener who clips your hedge or mows your grass may not necessarily be good at designing a garden.

It would pay you to ask your gardener if they have the confidence to do this. If not you will just have to find yourself an expert.
