Finding a Gardener in Barham: Sorting out a dreary and overgrown garden is not everyone's cup of tea, so if you find yourself in this situation you should not be afraid to ask for some outside assistance. You could ask the "guy down the road" who does a bit of gardening or you could call on a professional Barham gardener. The chances are that "bloke down the road" will not have much gardening knowledge, while the professional garder will probably have horticultural qualifications.
If you cherish your garden you will want a gardener with some savvy, who appreciates what you have and looks after it correctly. Therefore you should take your time in finding a gardener in the Barham area who can be trusted. This is even more important if you have plants or trees in your garden which need specialist care. Don't put up with "rogue trader" gardeners, choose a dependable one.
Routine maintenance is the key with all gardens, whether small or large, with a seemingly endless list of jobs to do. You will need to book in more regular visits by your gardener in the spring and summer as these jobs pile up. The list of the most common gardening jobs will come as no surprise and includes the likes of hedge trimming, general cleaning, grass cutting and weeding. It is unlikely that your gardener will refuse tasks such as waste clearance, garden fencing, driveway cleaning and decking installation.
An hourly rate of around £20 is what you should expect to pay for a decent gardener. 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. The majority will generally prefer to spend 2 to 3 hours on each visit. The reason for this is that they have to allow time for travel, waste disposal and getting tools on and off their truck.
If a gardener asks for payment up front you should be very wary, as this is not normal practice. Exceptions to this rule could be in respect of large projects such as decking or fencing where considerable amounts of materials are needed. Payment in cash is not unusual for gardeners, though this will be requested after all work is completed and approved. Be certain to get a receipt from your gardener whether you pay him/her by cheque, card or cash.
Prior to work commencing give the gardener a clear picture of what you're expecting to be done. Any decent Barham gardener will be more than willing to share their knowledge of plants and shrubs, use their guidance to choose what is best for your garden. Establish that all of the weeds, lawn trimmings and resulting waste will be removed, they don't all offer this service.
Though usually a gardener will bring along a flask or bottle of water, it is nice to offer him/her a cup of tea while working hard on your garden. Such kindnesses are much appreciated and will likely be repaid by extra efforts on your behalf. In order to build a friendly rapport with your gardener and to pick their brains for gardening tips, go out for a natter from time to time. Do not take this to the extreme however, and impede their work with constant babbling, they may become frustrated and not do a proper job.
Barham Garden Design
If your plan is to not just have your garden tidied up but also to have it completely re-designed, you may need someone other than a standard gardener. It is not unheard of for regular gardeners to do a bit of garden designing alongside their day to day tasks. A brief discussion about this aspect of gardening should soon establish if your gardener is willing to take it on. Alternatively, you may just have to search for an expert.
Garden Clearance Barham
You will discover that some Barham gardeners will be prepared to do a limited amount of garden clearance, so long as there is only "green" waste and there isn't too much involved. Some gardeners in Barham could even have a Waste Carriers Licence, which will enable them to take different kinds and larger quantities of waste. If you've got access to a local council green waste bin (you normally have to pay extra for this), you may be able to dispose of the majority of it bit by bit, if the volumes of waste are only minimal.
If your garden in Barham has become heaped up with all sorts of trash, and not just green waste, you will probably have to bring in an authorised Barham garden clearance specialist, who will be familiar with dealing with and recycling such waste. If you have a good amount of rubbish in your garden you might look into hiring a mini-skip. This will make it possible for you to get shot of not only garden waste, but perhaps also clear out your shed, your garage and maybe even you loft.
"Green" waste will typically be considered as stuff like: topsoil, shrubs, twigs, weeds, lawn trimmings, logs, turf, pruned branches, rocks and hedge clippings.
