Finding a Gardener in Benson: You should never be ashamed to ask for assistance if your Benson garden is a bit lacklustre and you simply cannot find the time to tackle it yourself. That help should come in the shape of a professional Benson gardener with a bit of experience, and not the "fella down the street" 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 "bloke down the road" and will have a reputation to uphold. You will have to decide what is best for your situation.
You want your garden to be treated with respect by someone who knows exactly what they are doing. So, try to find a local Benson gardener who is trustworthy and reliable. This is even more important if you have plants or trees in your garden which need specialist care. Don't make do with any old rubbish, track down a proper gardener.
Even if you only have a small garden, there are lots of jobs that need doing on a regular basis. As you can imagine the need for this regular maintenance is more necessary in spring and summer. Typical jobs that Benson people need doing in their gardens include: weeding, general tidying, mowing lawns and hedge pruning. Additional tasks like laying patios, waste removal, cleaning driveways and garden fencing will also be within the capabilities of most experienced gardeners.
Professional gardeners do not of course come cheap and while the "geezer down the street" may be happy to charge £10 to £15 an hour, a figure of £20 per hour is more usual for professionals. Generally a professional gardener will want to spend more than one hour on your garden. Visits spanning 2 to 3 hours are about the average for Benson gardeners. This is not greed or stretching the job out, but simply making allowances for travel, unloading and waste removal when necessary.
Don't pay any Benson gardener in advance of the job being done, this is not the norm and they may disappear with your money. More involved tasks like decking or fencing can be considered an exception, since expensive materials need to be obtained and quite rightly a deposit will be requested. After the completion of your garden it would not be at all uncommon for your gardener to ask to be paid in cash. Be certain to get a receipt from your gardener whether you pay him/her by card, cash or cheque.
Make sure your gardener is clear about your requirements, give him/her a list of jobs before they begin. Don't be afraid to ask for advice, your gardener is the best person to tell you which plants are best for your garden. The removal of the waste that has been generated isn't something that all gardeners are prepared to do, make sure that yours does. This garden waste can build up and at some point you are going to need to get rid of it.
While most gardeners bring their own food and refreshments it doesn't hurt to ask if they would like a cup of tea or coffee while they are working. This type of kindness is always welcome and your gardener may show his/her gratitude by doing a great job on your garden. 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. This does not mean you should pester them with constant wittering which will simply hinter them and slow down the work rate.
Tree Surgery Benson
If needed, some gardeners in Benson will be willing to do some basic tree surgery, as the majority of them will have a basic knowledge of shrubs and trees. Though your local Benson gardener should have the appropriate skills to undertake pruning and cutting back, for any important work it is advisable to use the professional services of a qualified tree surgeon.
Tree damages to property and outbuildings isn't at all unusual, and this can rapidly happen if trees are allowed to become overgrown. The reality is that driveways, building foundations, sewage pipework and patio areas can be damaged by tree roots, so keeping a keen eye on any trees that are on your land is crucial. If you are concerned that any of the trees on your property in Benson are causing problems, talk to your gardener first, because they will likely be able to help.
Garden Clearance Benson
Although most gardeners will be ready to do a certain amount of garden clearance in Benson, a lot of them will not hold a "Waste Carrier's Licence", and will subsequently be restricted in the quantity of waste they are able to remove. If only small quantities of waste are involved it might be feasible to dispose of the majority of it by using your council garden waste bin (if you have one), otherwise you will need some extra help.
Of course, a lot of gardens in Benson are piled up with all manner of garbage, and not just "green" waste, so for this type of clearance you will probably need to contact a licenced Benson garden clearance expert. If you have a considerable amount of junk in your garden you might consider renting a mini-skip. This will permit you to ditch not just garden waste, but perhaps also clear out your shed, your garage and possibly even you loft.
In general "green" garden waste would be the likes of: turf, hedge clippings, weeds, pruned branches, lawn trimmings, wood shavings, logs, dirt, twigs and bushes. (Tags: Garden Clearance Benson, Rubbish Removal Benson, Garden Clearances Benson).
