Gardener Alveston

Gardeners who know their stuff will have respect for your garden and treat it much as they would their own. So take care to track down a local Alveston gardener who can be trusted to do a decent job. If you've got trees, plants and shrubs needing special attention, this will become more important still. You shouldn't take any chances, hire the best gardener you can afford.

Small gardens need routine attention just like larger ones and the jobs may be much the same but on a smaller scale. These jobs will need doing more regularly in the spring and summer and perhaps not at all in the winter. The commonest gardening jobs that folk in Alveston need doing are general tidying, mowing lawns, weeding and hedge cutting. It is likely that your gardener will also help you with patio installation, cleaning driveways, garden fencing and waste removal.

The rates charged by professional gardeners varies widely but if you are paying an hourly rate of about £20, that is reasonable. Depending on the state of your garden it is likely that your gardener will need more than just one hour to make an impression. It's possible that your gardener will not be prepared to work for periods of less than 2 hours or more. Travel to and away from your home, bringing in and taking away mowers and tools, and the responsible disposal of your waste all have to be factored in.

If a gardener asks for payment up front you should be very wary, as this is not normal practice. Don't be surprised if your gardener asks for cash payment, this isn't unusual, but of course only when the work is finished. Remember to get a receipt whether you pay the gardener by cheque, card or cash, this negates later disputes.

Make out a list of gardening jobs that require attention and be transparent about your expectations before the work starts. It isn't always easy for you to know which plants will grow best in your garden, the advice of your gardener will be invaluable. Not all gardeners like to take away the waste and lawn clippings, so check that yours does.

It pays to be thoughtful and supplying your gardener with a drink or two will help his/her day along. Treating your gardener well could easily result in you getting some extra work done at no additional charge. Engage in some conversation with your gardener whenever you get the chance so that you can build a friendly relationship and benefit from their knowledge and ideas. This doesn't mean you should stay there chattering all day though, you will be simply delaying their progress.

Tree Surgery Alveston

If necessary, some of the better gardeners in Alveston will be quite willing to do some basic tree surgery, as the vast majority of them will have a rudimentary knowledge of shrubs and trees. Although for any major work it is best to use the expert services of a certified tree surgeon, for minor trimming and pruning, your neighbourhood Alveston gardener should have the necessary skills.

Tree damages to power lines and property isn't at all unheard of, and this can rapidly happen if trees are permitted to become overgrown. You must keep a close eye on any trees growing on your land, since the roots can also damage drives, footings, patio areas and sewage lines. If you have suspicions that these or some other problems are being triggered by trees in your garden in Alveston, talk to your gardener first.

Garden Clearance Alveston

If you allow "green" waste and general junk to accumulate in your garden, a time will come when you'll need to call in a garden clearance specialist. A few Alveston gardeners will be happy to do this, but unless they have a "Waste Carrier Licence", they will be limited in the volume of waste they can remove. If only relatively small volumes of waste are involved it may be feasible to dispose of most of it using your council garden waste bin (if you have got access to one), otherwise you'll need some specialist help.

You'll most likely have to bring in a licenced garden clearance specialist, if like a lot of homeowners in Alveston, you have a garden that's heaped up with all sorts of trash, and not only green waste. You could always consider renting a mini-skip if you have a considerable amount of junk in your garden. Taking this route would permit you to perhaps clear out your shed, your garage and maybe even your attic, in addition to your garden waste.

Typically "green" garden waste would be things like: plants, lawn trimmings, bushes, turf, hedge clippings, soil, pruned branches, twigs, sawdust and logs. (Tags: Garden Clearances Alveston, Garden Clearance Alveston, "Green" Waste Removal Alveston).
