Finding a Gardener in Barnes Cray: If you cannot spare the time to tackle your tired and dreary garden, you should not be reluctant to bring in some outside help to knock it back into shape. Now, you should be looking for the "right" kind of help in the shape of a professional gardener rather than the "bloke down the road" who puts his hand to anything. While you don't need horticultural qualifications to be a gardener, most professional gardeners in the Barnes Cray area will have a lot more knowledge than that "bloke down the street" is likely to have.

When hiring a professional gardener you are paying for his/her expertise, so expect to pay in the region of £20 for each hour worked. Most Barnes Cray gardeners will not want to do just one hours work. Many gardeners might even insist on a minimum visit time of at least two hours or so.

Give short shrift to any Barnes Cray gardener who expects to be paid up front before doing any work. Paying a deposit for materials might be appropriate for bigger jobs like decking installation. If your gardener asks to be paid in cash after the job is complete, this is not something to be worried about and is normal within the trade.

It is customary to offer your gardener a hot or cold drink, though many bring their own refreshments. A gardener will always be appreciative of such kindness and will work even harder to show this gratitude. 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. However, avoid incessant prattling which will only annoy the gardener and impede his/her progress.
