Finding a Gardener in Alderley Edge: When your Alderley Edge garden starts looking rather droopy and under the weather, it is either time to get your gardening togs on or time to call in some expert help. It's often easy to just bring in the "bloke down the street" who does odd jobs and gardening on the side, but think carefully, would a proper gardener be a better choice? While a proper gardener may not have any qualifications he or she will know a bit more than that "guy down the road".
It is never a good idea to have somebody looking after your garden who doesn't know what they're doing. Therefore you must find a gardener in Alderley Edge who can be depended upon to do a fine job. If you have a garden containing certain trees and shrubs, the importance of this is even more apparent. Don't make do with any Tom, Dick or Harry, get yourself a decent gardener.
Gardens are all about routine maintenance, with jobs to be done fortnightly or monthly, even with smaller gardens. Of course such jobs will be more regular during the spring and summer months. The more commonly required jobs that need doing in Alderley Edge gardens are hedge cutting, general tidying, mowing lawns and weeding. There are plenty more jobs that might need doing for example waste removal, fence repairs, cleaning driveways and patio installation, most Alderley Edge gardeners will also be willing to tackle these.
Experienced gardeners don't come cheap and if you are being charged around £20 per hour, that is about average. Usually gardeners will not be happy doing just one hours work. For it to be worth their while, gardeners generally favour doing 2 or 3 hours at a stretch. The reason for this is that they have to allow time for travel, waste disposal and getting tools on and off their truck.
You should be suspicious of any gardener who demands payment in advance. Don't be surprised if your gardener asks for cash payment, this isn't unusual, but of course only when the work is finished. Once you have paid your gardener get a receipt, so there are no disputes about unpaid bills.
Be transparent about your requirements before any work begins, give the gardener a rota of tasks that you would like to be done. The layout of your garden is something any decent gardener will be able to help you with, they will know which plants perform best where, don't be scared to ask for guidance. 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.
If you are at home while the gardening is being done, keep your gardener supplied with drinks. A gardener will always be appreciative of such kindness and will work even harder to show this gratitude. Go out and talk to your gardener now and again to keep a friendly rapport going and also to pick their brains. However, avoid incessant prattling which will only annoy the gardener and impede his/her progress.
