Finding a Gardener in Aldenham: If you have a garden that is looking tired and overgrown, the time has come to get it back in shape. If you are too busy or too idle to do it yourself you are going to have to call in some help. It is tempting to call on the "fellow down the street" who helps out your neighbour, or you could actually bring in a proper Aldenham gardener. 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. The decision is of course up to you.
You want your garden to be treated with respect by someone who knows exactly what they are doing. Therefore you must find a gardener in Aldenham who can be depended upon to do a fine job. This is especially important if you have trees and shrubs, which need proper care and attention. Get yourself a good gardener, don't just settle for any old one.
The thing with gardens is that the jobs that need doing are routine, the same things need doing perhaps weekly, fortnightly or monthly. Spring is the busiest time with jobs needing to be done more frequently than during the rest of the year. The most common jobs that people with gardens need doing in Aldenham are general cleaning, lawn mowing, hedge cutting and weeding. Jobs like waste clearance, garden fencing, cleaning driveways and laying patios are also something most Aldenham gardeners will tackle.
Good gardeners don't come cheap, a professional gardener is likely to charge you £20 per hour or more, while that "guy down the street" might do it for £10 to £12 per hour. Don't expect miracles, especially on the first session, and count on it taking more than a single hour for your gardener to make much difference to the look of your garden. Many gardeners might even insist on a minimum visit time of at least two hours or so. Don't forget, they have to get to and from your location, they have to unload and load their van and they may have to dispose of your waste which could mean a trip to the local tip.
Give short shrift to any Aldenham gardener who expects to be paid up front before doing any work. Exceptions to this rule could be in respect of large projects such as garden fencing where considerable amounts of materials are needed. When the work has been completed to your satisfaction it would not be unusual for your gardener to ask for payment in cash. 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. Any decent Aldenham gardener will be more than willing to share their knowledge of plants and shrubs, use their guidance to choose what is best for your garden. Getting rid of your lawn trimmings and hedge clippings won't always be part of the service so ensure that in your case it is. Give preference to gardeners who agree to take away all the garden waste.
Gardening is hard work, so remember to ask if your gardener wants a drink at some point during the day. You may be repaid for thoughtfulness like this by a better service and a happier gardener. In order to build a friendly rapport with your gardener and to pick their brains for gardening tips, go out for a natter from time to time. Don't overdo this though, because constant nattering will slow down the whole process and may put your gardener off returning.
Tree Surgery Aldenham
Many gardeners in Aldenham will have some knowledge of trees along with plants, and they will be delighted to do a few essential tree surgery jobs if required. While for any important work it is preferable to use the professional services of a certified tree surgeon, for minor pruning and trimming, your neighbourhood Aldenham gardener should have all the required skills.
Tree damages to property and power lines isn't at all unheard of, and this can very easily occur if trees are allowed to become overgrown. The roots can also damage patio areas, foundations, driveways and sewage lines, therefore you should always keep close track of them. If you have suspicions that any trees on your property in Aldenham are causing issues, talk to your gardener first, because they'll likely be able to help.

Garden Clearance Aldenham
You will find that certain Aldenham gardeners will be prepared to do a certain amount of garden clearance, providing that there is only "green" waste and there isn't too much involved. A few gardeners in Aldenham will even hold a "Waste Carrier's Licence", which enables them to take different forms and larger quantities of waste. If only minimal volumes of waste are involved it may be possible to get rid of most of it by making use of your local council green waste bin (if you've got access to one), otherwise you will need some specialist help.
You'll most likely need to get in touch with an authorised garden clearance specialist, if like a lot of people in Aldenham, you've got a garden that's heaped up with all kinds of garbage, and not merely "green" waste. There are other options that you could consider if you have a large quantity of waste in your garden, renting a mini-skip may be something you could look into. In conjunction with your garden waste, this would perhaps also permit you to clear out your shed, your garage and even your loft, if they're full of clutter too.
Typically "green" garden waste could be the likes of: turf, dead flowers, lawn trimmings, logs, twigs, roots, dirt, hedge clippings, shrubs and pruned branches.
