Finding a Gardener in Barnard Castle: Don't get stressed out if your garden in Barnard Castle is looking unkempt and you can never find the time to sort it out, there is always the option of calling in some outside help. It is tempting to call on the "guy down the street" who helps out your neighbour, or you could actually bring in a proper Barnard Castle gardener. The chances are that "bloke down the road" will not have much gardening knowledge, while the professional garder will probably have horticultural qualifications.
You want your garden to be treated with respect by someone who knows exactly what they are doing. So, your main objective must be to find a trustworthy Barnard Castle gardener who has a reputation for doing an excellent job. When you've got shrubs and trees requiring specialist care, this becomes even more vital. You shouldn't take any chances, hire the best gardener you can afford.
Whether your garden is large or small, there will always be jobs that need attending to on a routine basis. In spring and summer you should organise more frequent gardener visits as the jobs that need doing increase. Typical jobs that Barnard Castle people need doing in their gardens include: weeding, hedge pruning, mowing lawns and general tidying. There are plenty more jobs that might need doing for example patio installation, driveway cleaning, garden fencing and waste removal, most Barnard Castle gardeners will also be willing to tackle these.
Professional gardeners do not of course come cheap and while the "fellow down the road" may be happy to charge £10 to £15 an hour, a figure of £20 per hour is more usual for professionals. Gardening takes time and one hour will not be enough for most gardeners to make much progress on your garden. Sessions of 2 or 3 hours are standard for many gardeners in Barnard Castle. This is not greed or stretching the job out, but simply making allowances for travel, unloading and waste removal when necessary.
Be wary of "gardeners" who ask for payment in advance, no genuine Barnard Castle gardener would do this. "Cash is king" as they say, and most gardeners prefer this type of payment, but only once the work is complete of course. Always insist on a receipt whether you pay by cheque, card or cash, proof of payment is important in case of any future arguments.
Make sure your gardener is clear about your requirements, give him/her a list of jobs before they begin. 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. Establish that all of the weeds, lawn trimmings and resulting waste will be removed, they don't all offer this service. A big pile of waste that you can't get rid of is not something that you want left in your garden.
Spare a thought for your gardener toiling away on your property with no facilities at hand. Offer them the use of your toilet and perhaps provide a drink. You can expect your gardener to very much appreciate gestures like this and to repay you with increased output. It helps to keep things friendly, so popping out for a chat every now and again will help to do this and also give you the chance to get some tips from your gardener. This does not mean you should pester them with constant wittering which will simply hinter them and slow down the work rate.
Garden Clearance Barnard Castle
If you permit "green" waste and general junk to accumulate in your garden, a time will arrive when you'll need a garden clearance specialist. A few Barnard Castle gardeners will be ready to do this, but unless they've got a "Waste Carrier Licence", they will be restricted on the quantity of waste they can remove. If you've got a local council green waste bin (you typically pay extra for these), you may be able to dispose of the majority of it bit by bit, if the quantities of waste are only minimal.
Obviously, a lot of gardens in Barnard Castle are stacked up with all kinds of garbage, and not merely "green" waste, so for this type of project you will possibly need to bring in a certified Barnard Castle garden clearance specialist. If you have a lot of waste in your garden you could think about hiring a mini-skip. In conjunction with your garden waste, this would perhaps also enable you to have a clear out in your garage, your shed and even your loft space, if they are junked-up too.
Generally turf, soil, logs, bushes, pruned branches, lawn trimmings, dead flowers, hedge clippings, twigs and wood shavings, would be thought of as "green" waste.
