Finding a Gardener in Belsize Park: You shouldn't be afraid to ask for some assistance if your garden in Belsize Park is in a bit of a mess and you don't really have the time to do it yourself. Now, you should be looking for the "right" kind of help in the shape of a professional gardener rather than the "bloke down the street" who puts his hand to anything. 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. Ultimately, you will have to choose what is best for your garden.
You want your garden to be treated with respect by someone who knows exactly what they are doing. So, your aim should be to find a gardener in the Belsize Park area who can be trusted to do a good job on your garden. Even if in your trees and plants are pretty ordinary they still need to be handled with care and dedication. Get a dependable Belsize Park gardener, not a "rogue trader".
Small gardens need routine attention just like larger ones and the jobs may be much the same but on a smaller scale. You will need to book in more regular visits by your gardener in the spring and summer as these jobs pile up. The more commonplace place tasks that need doing in Belsize Park gardens are likely to be lawn mowing, weeding, hedge cutting and general cleaning. It is unlikely that your gardener will refuse tasks such as decking installation, driveway cleaning, garden fencing and waste clearance.
Decent gardeners do not come cheap, the "guy down the road" might do your gardening for £10 or £12 an hour, but a professional will probably charge nearer to £20 per hour. Don't expect miracles, especially on the first session, and count on it taking more than a single hour for your gardener to make much difference to the look of your garden. In order for them to do all the neccessary work they may need to put in at least two or three hours. You must take into account travelling time, loading and unloading equipment and visits to the tip with your waste.
It is not the norm for Belsize Park gardeners to demand money up front, be very suspicious of anyone who does this. An exception can be made when a big project like hard landscaping is involved, and lots of materials have to be purchased. Once the work is completed, it's not unusual for the gardener to ask for payment in cash rather than a cheque. Make sure that you get a receipt, no matter what type of payment you agree on, this will avoid arguments down the line.
Prior to work commencing give the gardener a clear picture of what you're expecting to be done. Your gardener will be there to give you advice and guidance on any aspect of your garden, so make the most of his/her knowledge. If there is going to be a lot of waste produced by your gardener, double check they he/she will take it away afterwards. Give preference to gardeners who agree to take away all the garden waste.
Gardeners are used to providing their own refreshments, but this shouldn't stop you from offering them a cup of tea or even a cold drink on a hot summer's day. There is no telling what advantages may be gained by you for such little acts of kindness. Try to have a regular dialogue with your gardener, during which you can swap ideas, gain some knowledge and forge a friendly rapport at the same time. However, avoid incessant prattling which will only annoy the gardener and impede his/her progress.
