Finding a Gardener in Barton Mills: Bringing in some outside assistance to knock a tired and bedraggled garden back into shape is something many busy people have to do these days, especially after a long and blustery winter. That help should come in the shape of a professional Barton Mills gardener with a bit of experience, and not the "fellow down the road" who knocks on your door and offers to jet wash your patio. Whilst formal qualifications are not a requirement for gardeners, a professional is likely to have a wider range of knowledge than that "guy down the road" and will have a reputation to uphold. That of course is a decision that you will have to make.
It is never a good idea to have somebody looking after your garden who doesn't know what they're doing. So, finding a trustworthy and reliable Barton Mills gardener is something you should take care in doing. Even if in your trees and plants are pretty ordinary they still need to be handled with care and dedication. Don't get stuck with rogues and cowboys, hire a proper gardener.
Even if you only have a small garden, there are lots of jobs that need doing on a regular basis. The warmth of spring and summer increases the frequency with which these jobs need to be done. While the jobs that people in Barton Mills need doing in their gardens are many and varied the most common are lawn mowing, hedge pruning, weeding and general tidying. More involved tasks might include: fence repairs, patio installation, cleaning driveways and waste clearance.
Who you hire may be dependent on your budget and whilst that "bloke down the street" might only charge you £10 to £15 per hour, a seasoned professional is going to set you back nearer to £20 for an hours gardening. It would be unfair to expect any gardener to whip your garden into shape in just a single hour, so count on it taking longer than this. Most gardeners will have a minimum visit time of 2 hours. 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.
Don't pay any Barton Mills gardener in advance of the job being done, this is not the norm and they may disappear with your money. Exceptions can be made when large jobs like fencing or decking are involved, some money up front might then be appropriate. Quite often a gardener will ask to be paid in cash once the work is complete and that is of course fine. Whatever kind of payment you and your gardener agree on, get a receipt to avoid later arguments.
A list of required tasks will help your gardener to plan his/her day, clearly lay out you exact requirements at the start. 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. Establish that all of the weeds, lawn trimmings and resulting waste will be removed, they don't all offer this service. This should really be part of the 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. Acts of kindness such as this will make your gardener feel appreciated and he or she will work all the harder for it. Wander out and have a chat with your gardener whenever the situation allows, this helps to develop a friendly connection and gives you the chance to share ideas. However, avoid incessant prattling which will only annoy the gardener and impede his/her progress.
