Finding a Gardener in Arundel: 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. That help should come in the shape of a professional Arundel gardener with a bit of experience, and not the "fella down the road" who knocks on your door and offers to jet wash your patio. The problem is that "fella down the street" will probably know very little about gardening, whereas a professional will have a wide spectrum of knowledge. The final decision is of course yours.
It should certainly go without saying that any gardener you hire should be informed enough to care for your garden and the contents within it. Therefore you should take your time in finding a gardener in the Arundel area who can be trusted. Trees and shrubs may require expert management, meaning this is more important than ever. Don't put up with "rogue trader" gardeners, choose a dependable one.
The routine jobs which need doing in the garden are likely to be much the same regardless whether your garden is small or big. Such routine jobs will need attention more frequently at certain times of the year, in particular spring and summer. Typically people with gardens in Arundel need jobs done like hedge trimming, grass cutting, weeding and general tidying. Most decent gardeners in Arundel will tackle other jobs such as patio installation, cleaning driveways, garden fencing and waste removal.
Getting your garden done by a professional isn't cheap and you are likely to be paying close to £20 per hour for the priviledge. Gardening takes time and one hour will not be enough for most gardeners to make much progress on your garden. It's not uncommon for a gardener to request at least two hour minimum visit times. Bear in mind the fact that they have travelling time to and from your home, and they may need to visit the local dump to dispose or your garden waste.
Asking for money up front is not normal for gardeners (unlike builders), so be extra careful if they do. Exceptions to this rule could be in respect of large projects such as hard landscaping where considerable amounts of materials are needed. When the gardener has finished working you may be asked for payment in cash, this is not at all unusual. Whether you pay by cash, cheque or card, insist on a receipt, this will prevent later disputes over payment.
Before the gardener gets to work on your garden make sure he or she is clear about your requirements, a list of expected tasks might help. 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. 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. This garden waste can build up and at some point you are going to need to get rid of it.
It never hurts to be polite to those working on your property, therefore you should always offer them a drink. You can expect your gardener to very much appreciate gestures like this and to repay you with increased output. Go out and talk to your gardener now and again to keep a friendly rapport going and also to pick their brains. As with most things in life, moderation is the key. Keep chats short and to the point so that they can get on with what they are there for.
