Finding a Gardener in Alderbury: You should never be ashamed to ask for assistance if your Alderbury garden is a bit lacklustre and you simply cannot find the time to tackle it yourself. Think carefully before you hire someone because lots of people in Alderbury do gardening, some are professional gardeners and some just dabble. Although there is no guarantee that a professional gardener will have any recognised horticultural qualifications, he/she will almost certainly have a great deal more gardening knowledge than that "fella down the street" is going to have. You will have to decide what is best for your situation.
You need your cherished garden to be given a degree of respect by whoever is looking after it. So, try to find a local Alderbury gardener who is trustworthy and reliable. When you have a garden containing trees and shrubs needing expert care, this is even more important. Don't settle for less than the best.
Even if you only have a small garden, there are lots of jobs that need doing on a regular basis. You will need to book in more regular visits by your gardener in the spring and summer as these jobs pile up. Typically weeding, general cleaning, mowing lawns and hedge cutting are the more common jobs that folk with gardens in Alderbury need done. More involved tasks might include: fence repairs, patio installation, waste removal and driveway cleaning.
Professional gardeners do not of course come cheap and while the "fella down the street" may be happy to charge £10 to £15 an hour, a figure of £20 per hour is more usual for professionals. The average gardener in Alderbury will not be satisfied with doing your garden in one hour sessions. Some gardeners may even insist on a minimum slot of two or three hours. It is not just a case of working on your garden, they need to allow for travelling time and visits to the local rubbish tip.
You should be suspicious of any gardener who demands payment in advance. You might however expect to pay a deposit for materials with larger tasks such as patio laying. Of course gardeners often ask for payment in cash after the work is completed. Don't forget to ask for a receipt irrespective of if you pay by card, cheque or cash, having proof of payment prevents later quarrels.
Always explain exactly what your needs are, a list of projects will make things clearer for the gardener. Knowing which plants are most suitable for your garden's condition isn't always easy, so ask your gardener for advice on this. Grass cuttings and hedge clippings can be a pain to get rid of, so make certain that your gardener includes the disposal of these as part of the service. Being left with large quantities of garden waste is something that you need to avoid.
It pays to be thoughtful and supplying your gardener with a drink or two will help his/her day along. Considerations like this will always be appreciated and will often result in a better standard of work. 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. You should not however take this to the extreme, and stand there chattering all day long, which will only hold up your gardener and make the job take longer.
