Finding a Gardener in Benington: 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. It is tempting to call on the "chap down the street" who helps out your neighbour, or you could actually bring in a proper Benington gardener. Although many professional gardeners don't have any formal qualifications, they generally have more relevant knowledge than that "guy down the street" does.
Gardeners who know their stuff will have respect for your garden and treat it much as they would their own. So, your aim should be to find a gardener in the Benington area who can be trusted to do a good job on your garden. When you've got shrubs and trees requiring specialist care, this becomes even more vital. Take your time and get a proper Benington gardener.
Large and small gardens alike need routine maintenance with various jobs that need attending to. 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 lawn mowing, hedge cutting, general tidying and weeding. Bigger tasks such as waste clearance, driveway cleaning, garden fencing and decking installation can also be handled by the majority of gardeners.
Expect to shell out something like £20 per hour for hiring the expertise of a professional gardener, the "bloke down the road" will be a bit cheaper. You may find that your gardener will not be prepared to put in just an hours work. It would not be that unusual for a gardener to have a minimum visit time of 2 to 3 hours. This isn't surprising when you appreciate that they have to get to and from your house, load/unload, and resposibly dispose of your waste at the local recycling centre.
If a gardener asks for payment up front you should be very wary, as this is not normal practice. Paying a deposit for materials might be appropriate for bigger jobs like decking or fencing. "Cash is king" as they say, and most gardeners prefer this type of payment, but only once the work is complete of course. Remember to get a receipt whether you pay the gardener by card, cheque or cash, this negates later disputes.
Let the gardener know about your precise expectations before any work begins. 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. Make sure that all twigs, weeds and lawn cuttings will be removed and disposed of afterwards, certain gardeners don't do this. This garden waste can build up and at some point you are going to need to get rid of it.
Remember to keep the gardener supplied with drinks if you are around while the gardening is being done. There is no telling what advantages may be gained by you for such little acts of kindness. So that you can forge a friendly relationship with your gardener it is often a nice idea to pop out for a chat now and again. This also helps you to gain some additional gardening knowhow and useful tips. Don't stand there all day twittering on however, which only results in a frustrated gardener and an incomplete garden.
Garden Design Benington
While a gardener may be a genius when it comes to looking after your garden, it might be a different "kettle of fish" when it comes to garden design. Not all gardeners who do routine maintenance will be skilled in the design area of gardening. A brief discussion about this aspect of gardening should soon establish if your gardener is willing to take it on. If not you will just have to find yourself an expert.

You will discover that most Benington gardeners will be prepared to do a limited amount of garden clearance, providing that there is only green waste and there isn't too much involved. A few gardeners in Benington will even hold a Waste Carrier Licence, which permits them to take larger quantities and different kinds of waste. If the levels of waste are relatively small they may be able to dispose of most of it using your local council garden waste bin (if you have got access to one).
Needless to say, many gardens in Benington are stacked up with all manner of junk, and not just "green" waste, so for this form of clearance you'll possibly have to contact a licenced Benington garden clearance specialist.

Taking this route will enable you to maybe have a clear out in your shed, your garage and possibly even your attic, as well as your garden waste.
