Finding a Gardener in Altofts: 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. Now you could call in a proper Altofts gardener or you could try the "chap down the street". While you don't need horticultural qualifications to be a gardener, most professional gardeners in the Altofts area will have a lot more knowledge than that "chap down the road" is likely to have.
It is not too much to ask that any gardener treats your garden, plants and contents with a degree of respect. Therefore you should take your time in finding a gardener in the Altofts area who can be trusted. This will be even more critical for those of you with trees and shrubs in your garden. Never compromise, get yourself a decent Altofts gardener.
Those monthly, fortnightly or even weekly gardening jobs are often necessary even if your garden is small. Such jobs require even more attention during spring and summer when rain and heat generates increased growth. As a rule weeding, hedge cutting, mowing lawns and general cleaning are the typical gardening jobs that need doing on a regular basis. Most professional Altofts gardeners will also help with cleaning driveways, repairing fences, decking installation and waste clearance.
Decent gardeners do not come cheap, the "guy down the road" might do your gardening for £10 or £12 an hour, but a professional will probably charge nearer to £20 per hour. One hours work is not enough to make much impression on your garden, so you should reckon on them needing to spend more time than this. You might find that your gardener will not be interested in visits of less than two hours. When you take into consideration travelling time, getting equipment on and off the van, and going to the local tip with your garden waste, this is understandable.
It is not the norm for Altofts gardeners to demand money up front, be very suspicious of anyone who does this. Many Altofts gardeners favour payment in cash, very few will take cards, they will only ask after you have approved their work. Whatever kind of payment you and your gardener agree on, get a receipt to avoid later arguments.
Make certain the gardener knows what your expectations are for your garden, job lists can help make everything clearer. 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. It is always a good idea to check if your gardener includes the removal of waste in his/her service, this is not always the case. This should really be part of the service.
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. Your gardener will be grateful for such kindness. By having a quick chat with your gardener every once in a while, you can pick up some tips while also building a friendly rapport. 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.
Altofts Garden Design
You might need to find a specialist Altofts garden designer if you are planning to totally re-design your garden. It is not unheard of for regular gardeners to do a bit of garden designing alongside their day to day tasks. Have a chat with your gardener and see if they are happy to take this on. Otherwise you will need to find an expert in this field.
Tree Surgery Altofts
With a decent knowledge of trees and plants, some gardeners in Altofts will be glad to do a few elementary tree surgery assignments once in a while. While for any important work it is advisable to use the specialist services of a certified tree surgeon, for minor cutting back and pruning, your neighbourhood Altofts gardener should have all the required skills.
Larger trees can quite easily overgrow and cause hazards for your property and outbuildings. You should keep a keen eye on any trees that are on your land, because their roots can also do harm to patios, sewerage pipes, footings and driveways. If you believe that any trees on your property in Altofts are causing issues, have a word with your gardener first, because they'll likely be able to help.
Garden Clearance Altofts
Whilst some gardeners will be ready to do a limited amount of garden clearance in Altofts, a lot of them won't hold a Waste Carriers Licence, and will therefore be constrained in the amount of waste they are able to take. If the levels of waste are small you may be able to get rid of most of it by using your council garden waste bin (if you have got access to one).
You'll most likely need to call a registered garden clearance specialist, if like many other property owners in Altofts, you've got a garden that is heaped up with all manner of junk, and not merely green waste. You could also consider renting a mini-skip if you have a good amount of waste in your garden. This will enable you to get rid of not just garden waste, but maybe also clear out your garage, your shed and possibly even you attic.
"Green" waste will generally be thought of as items like: dirt, hedge clippings, shrubs, dead plants, turf, lawn trimmings, tree branches, twigs, wood chippings and logs. (Tags: Garden Clearances Altofts, Garden Clearance Altofts, "Green" Waste Removal Altofts).
