Good gardeners don't come cheap, a professional gardener is likely to charge you £20 per hour or more, while that "fellow down the road" might do it for £10 to £12 per hour. One hour in your garden is not very much and the average gardener will need to spend more time than that to get much done. It would not be that unusual for a gardener to have a minimum visit time of 2 to 3 hours. Travel to and away from your home, bringing in and taking away mowers and tools, and the responsible disposal of your waste all have to be factored in.

Payment in advance is not something that gardeners usually ask for, so be cautious if your gardener requires this. However this could legitimately happen with bigger jobs like garden fencing where money for materials is required.

Not every gardener is prepared to remove all the green waste, it would pay you to verify that yours is happy to do this. Unless you want to keep it for your compost heap.

It pays to be thoughtful and supplying your gardener with a drink or two will help his/her day along. A gardener will always be appreciative of such kindness and will work even harder to show this gratitude. To keep a friendly rapport going with your gardener and to gain the maximum benefit from their knowledge, pop out for a chat whenever you get the chance. Don't overdo this though, because constant nattering will slow down the whole process and may put your gardener off returning.
