Finding a Gardener in Billing: 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. You could ask the "guy down the road" who does a bit of gardening or you could call on a professional Billing gardener. While you don't need horticultural qualifications to be a gardener, most professional gardeners in the Billing area will have a lot more knowledge than that "bloke down the road" is likely to have.
It is never a good idea to have somebody looking after your garden who doesn't know what they're doing. So, your main objective must be to find a trustworthy Billing gardener who has a reputation for doing an excellent job. This is even more important if you have plants or trees in your garden which need specialist care. Don't put up with chancers, seek out a good gardener.
Gardens are all about routine maintenance, with jobs to be done fortnightly or monthly, even with smaller gardens. You will need to book in more regular visits by your gardener in the spring and summer as these jobs pile up. Typical jobs that folk with gardens in Billing require are trimming hedges, general cleaning, grass cutting and weeding. It is unlikely that your gardener will refuse tasks such as patio installation, cleaning driveways, fence repairs and waste clearance.
Who you hire may be dependent on your budget and whilst that "guy down the road" 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. You may find that your gardener will not be prepared to put in just an hours work. You might find that your gardener will not be interested in visits of less than two hours. If you think that this is just to stretch the job out, think again. They have to travel to and from your home, they have to unload mowers and garden tools, and they will probably have to load your waste onto their trailer and take it to a nearby rubbish tip.
Asking for money up front is not normal for gardeners (unlike builders), so be extra careful if they do. Don't be surprised if your gardener asks for cash payment, this isn't unusual, but of course only when the work is finished. Make sure that you get a receipt, no matter what type of payment you agree on, this will avoid arguments down the line.
Don't just leave them to get on with it, make sure your explain your exact requirements before they start. Don't be afraid to ask for advice, your gardener is the best person to tell you which plants are best for your garden. Not all gardeners like to take away the waste and lawn clippings, so check that yours does. Being lumbered with a big pile of garden waste is not a good idea.
Gardening is thirsty work, so don't forget to make a hot or cold drink for your gardener to keep his/her spirits up. These acts of kindness can go a long way and may even result in a better quality of job. By having a quick chat with your gardener every once in a while, you can pick up some tips while also building a friendly rapport. 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 Design Billing
You might need to find a specialist Billing garden designer if you are planning to totally re-design your garden. While some gardeners in Billing will have a go at garden design they may not be the best people to help with this. Check with your gardener to see if they do or do not manage garden design. At the end of the day it might be necessary to locate a specialist.
Tree Surgery Billing
When required, some gardeners in Billing will be prepared to do some basic tree surgery tasks, as the vast majority of them will have an elementary knowledge of plants and trees. Whilst for any major work it is advisable to use the professional services of a qualified tree surgeon, for incidental trimming and pruning, your neighbourhood Billing gardener should have the vital skills.
Tree damages to power cables and property is not at all uncommon, and this can quickly happen if trees are allowed to become overgrown. You must keep a close eye on any trees that are on your land, since the roots can also do harm to driveways, sewer pipework, footings and patio areas. If you are concerned that any of the trees on your property in Billing are causing problems, speak to your gardener first, because they will probably be able to help.

Garden Clearance Billing
If you let "green" waste and general rubbish to build up in your garden, a time will arise when you will need a garden clearance specialist. Several Billing gardeners will be ready to do this, but unless they hold a Waste Carrier's Licence, they will be limited in the amount of waste they can dispose of. If the levels of waste are minimal you may be able to dispose of most of it by using your council green waste bin (if you have got access to one).
Obviously, many gardens in Billing are piled up with all manner of junk, and not simply green waste, so for this type of task you will possibly need to call a licenced Billing garden clearance expert. You might also consider hiring a mini-skip if you've got a substantial amount of junk in your garden. Together with your garden waste, this would perhaps also allow you to clear out your shed, your garage and even your attic, if they are full of clutter as well.
Essentially lawn trimmings, turf, shrubs, soil, dead plants, wood chippings, tree branches, hedge clippings, logs and twigs, will be considered as "green" waste.
