Finding a Gardener in Bere Alston: Nobody likes to see their garden looking a little the worse for wear, so fetching in some outside help is always a possibility if you can't find the time to spare. It's often easy to just bring in the "fella down the road" who does odd jobs and gardening on the side, but think carefully, would a proper gardener be a better choice? While you don't need horticultural qualifications to be a gardener, most professional gardeners in the Bere Alston area will have a lot more knowledge than that "fella down the street" is likely to have. This is a choice that you alone will have to make.
Having your garden treated with the respect it deserves is something your should be able to expect from any gardener. So, your aim should be to find a gardener in the Bere Alston area who can be trusted to do a good job on your garden. This is even more important if you have plants or trees in your garden which need specialist care. Don't get stuck with rogues and cowboys, hire a proper gardener.
There is a seemingly endless list of jobs to be done in the garden, even if it is relatively small. In spring and summer you should organise more frequent gardener visits as the jobs that need doing increase. People with gardens in Bere Alston most often want jobs done like general cleaning, hedge cutting, mowing lawns and weeding. Additional tasks like fence repairs, waste clearance, driveway cleaning and decking installation will also be within the capabilities of most experienced gardeners.
Don't expect to get a decent gardener for peanuts, while that "fella down the street" might only ask for £10 to £12 per hour, you're unlikely to get a professional for much less than £20 an hour. You shouldn't expect too much from your gardener on his/her first visit, because gardening takes time and dependant on the amount of work that needs doing, several hours may be required. Some gardeners may even insist on a minimum slot of two or three hours. When you consider things like travel, tool unloading and re-loading, and taking your waste to the tip this is easy to understand.
You should be suspicious of any gardener who demands payment in advance. This rule may not apply with larger projects such as decking installation when payment of some money for materials is normal. When the gardener has finished working you may be asked for payment in cash, this is not at all unusual. No matter what form of payment you agree on, be sure to get a receipt so there are no arguments later on.
Make sure your gardener is clear about your requirements, give him/her a list of jobs before they begin. Any self-respecting gardener will be more than happy to help you get your garden in order, use this help and guidance wisely. Grass cuttings and hedge clippings can be a pain to get rid of, so make certain that your gardener includes the disposal of these as part of the service.
Spare a thought for your gardener toiling away on your property with no facilities at hand. Offer them the use of your toilet and perhaps provide a drink. This sort of kindness is always very much appreciated. 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. This is not to say you should stand there all day gabbing, this will merely hinder your gardener and stop him/her from doing their job.
Garden Clearance Bere Alston
If you allow "green" waste and general rubbish to build up in your garden, a time will transpire when you need a garden clearance service. A few Bere Alston gardeners will be willing to do this, but unless they have a Waste Carrier's Licence, they will be restricted on the volume and kind of waste they can dispose of. If the amount of waste are modest they may be able to get rid of most of it by using your council garden waste bin (if you have one).
You will possibly need to contact a licenced garden clearance specialist, if like many other people in Bere Alston, you have a garden that's stacked up with all sorts of trash, and not only green waste. If you've got a good amount of waste in your garden you could also look into hiring a mini-skip. This will permit you to get rid of not just garden waste, but perhaps also clear out your shed, your garage and maybe even you loft.
Generally hedge clippings, plants, pruned branches, lawn trimmings, logs, bushes, topsoil, sawdust, twigs and turf, would be considered as "green" waste.
