Finding a Gardener in Bishop's Cleeve: Sorting out a dreary and overgrown garden is not everyone's cup of tea, so if you find yourself in this situation you should not be afraid to ask for some outside assistance. Though there are a number of people in Bishop's Cleeve offering gardening services, not all are necessarily suitable to be let loose on your prized garden. Whilst even professional Bishop's Cleeve gardeners don't always have formal qualifications, they can usually be relied upon to have more horticultural knowledge than any "fella down the street" is apt to have.
You want your garden to be treated with respect by someone who knows exactly what they are doing. So, your main objective must be to find a trustworthy Bishop's Cleeve gardener who has a reputation for doing an excellent job. If you've got trees, plants and shrubs needing special attention, this will become more important still. Take your time and get a proper Bishop's Cleeve gardener.
Routine maintenance is the key with all gardens, whether small or large, with a seemingly endless list of jobs to do. Gardener visits will generally need to be more regular in spring and summer, with jobs being done more frequently. The more commonplace place tasks that need doing in Bishop's Cleeve gardens are likely to be hedge pruning, general cleaning, weeding and grass cutting. Jobs like waste clearance, cleaning driveways, fence repairs and laying patios are also something most Bishop's Cleeve gardeners will tackle.
Don't expect to get a decent gardener for peanuts, while that "chap down the road" might only ask for £10 to £12 per hour, you're unlikely to get a professional for much less than £20 an hour. Certainly for the first visit you should reckon on your gardener needing more than an hour to get the job done. Most will want to put in at least 2 to 3 hours at a time to make it worth their while. Remember, they have to travel to and from your house, and maybe also get to the tip with your rubbish.
You should be suspicious of any gardener who demands payment in advance. This rule may not apply with larger projects such as decking or fencing when payment of some money for materials is normal. After the completion of your garden it would not be at all uncommon for your gardener to ask to be paid in cash. Irrespective of what kind of payment you agree with your gardener, always ask for a receipt as proof that he/she has been paid.
Right from the start and before any work commences, ensure your gardener has a clear understanding of exactly what needs doing. Once your gardener starts you will have an expert at your fingertips, make the most of it and get plenty of advice and guidance. Ensure that the gardener will take away lawn cuttings, weeds and twigs afterwards, not all do this.
Gardening is thirsty work, so don't forget to make a hot or cold drink for your gardener to keep his/her spirits up. A gardener will always be appreciative of such kindness and will work even harder to show this gratitude. Pop out for a chat with your gardener from time to time so you can benefit from their ideas and keep a friendly rapport. In doing this, don't prevent them from getting on with their work, because this will make the job take longer and cost you more money in the long run.
Garden Clearance Bishop's Cleeve
If you permit green waste and general junk to accumulate in your garden, the time will arrive when you will need a garden clearance specialist. Certain Bishop's Cleeve gardeners will be willing to do this, but unless they hold a "Waste Carrier Licence", they'll be limited in the amount of waste they can remove. If you've got a council green waste bin (you generally have to pay extra for this), you may be able to get rid of most of it bit by bit, if the volumes of waste are only relatively small.
Of course, a lot of gardens in Bishop's Cleeve are piled up with all sorts of rubbish, and not only green waste, so for this form of clearance you will possibly need to get in touch with a registered Bishop's Cleeve garden clearance specialist. If you have a significant amount of rubbish in your garden you might think about hiring a mini-skip. This would allow you to get shot of not just garden waste, but maybe also clear out your garage, your shed and possibly even you attic.
In general "green" garden waste would be things like: twigs, lawn trimmings, topsoil, weeds, rocks, tree branches, logs, hedge clippings, bushes and turf.
Garden Design Bishop's Cleeve
If your plan is to not just have your garden tidied up but also to have it completely re-designed, you may need someone other than a standard gardener. Many gardeners prefer to stick to the regular tasks such as grass cutting and hedge trimming, leaving design and landscaping to others. A quick discussion should soon reveal if your gardener is comfortable dealing with garden design. You might end up having to find a specialist.
