Finding a Gardener in Balham: If you wake up one day and realise just how untidy and overgrown your garden has become, it might be appropriate to call in somebody to help you out, unless you can find the time in your busy life to tackle it yourself. It's often easy to just bring in the "chap down the street" who does odd jobs and gardening on the side, but think carefully, would a proper gardener be a better choice? Generally speaking that "fella down the street" will have very little gardening knowledge, while any self-respecting Balham gardener be bursting with horticultural expertise.
If you cherish your garden you will want a gardener with some savvy, who appreciates what you have and looks after it correctly. Always be certain to get hold of a local Balham gardener who can be counted on. If you have a garden containing certain trees and shrubs, the importance of this is even more apparent. Never compromise, get yourself a decent Balham gardener.
Routine maintenance is the key with all gardens, whether small or large, with a seemingly endless list of jobs to do. It is essential to get these jobs done even more frequently when spring and then summer arrives. Typically hedge pruning, grass cutting, general cleaning and weeding are the more common jobs that folk with gardens in Balham need done. There are plenty more jobs that might need doing for example patio installation, cleaning driveways, waste clearance and garden fencing, most Balham gardeners will also be willing to tackle these.
Regular garden maintenance can cost quite a bit of money because an experienced gardener will probably charge you something like twenty pounds per hour worked. It is unlikely that any gardener will be able to achieve very much in just one hour. Certain Balham gardeners will want 2 or more hours work each time they visit your garden. 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. Don't be surprised if your gardener asks for cash payment, this isn't unusual, but of course only when the work is finished. Irrespective of what kind of payment you agree with your gardener, always ask for a receipt as proof that he/she has been paid.
A list of required tasks will help your gardener to plan his/her day, clearly lay out you exact requirements at the start. Planning out exactly what goes where in your garden is important, the help and guidance of your gardener will help you to get it right. Establish that all of the weeds, lawn trimmings and resulting waste will be removed, they don't all offer this service.
Remember to keep the gardener supplied with drinks if you are around while the gardening is being done. Small things like this will help make the gardener happy in his/her work and a contented gardener may work harder on your behalf. 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. 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.

If not, there are plenty of garden design experts out there.
