Finding a Gardener in Bishop's Waltham: Calling in some outside help to get your bedraggled garden back into shape, isn't something to be ashamed of if you never seem to have enough time to do it yourself. Now, some people in Bishop's Waltham opt for the "geezer down the road" who can put his hand to anything, while others choose a professional gardener with an established reputation. The chances are that "fellow down the road" will not have much gardening knowledge, while the professional garder will probably have horticultural qualifications. This article may help you to decide.
You want your prized garden to be treated with a certain level of respect by somebody who knows precisely what they're up to. So, your main objective must be to find a trustworthy Bishop's Waltham gardener who has a reputation for doing an excellent job. Trees and shrubs may require expert management, meaning this is more important than ever. Hire a professional gardener and never settle for second best.
Routine maintenance is the key with all gardens, whether small or large, with a seemingly endless list of jobs to do. The frequency of visits by your gardener will increase throughout the spring and summer and may not be necessary at all in winter. Typical jobs that folk with gardens in Bishop's Waltham require are weeding, general tidying, grass cutting and trimming hedges. It is unlikely that your gardener will refuse tasks such as driveway cleaning, repairing fences, waste clearance and decking installation.
How much you pay depends on who you hire, the hourly rate for a professional gardener will be at least £20, while you might get away with £10 - £15 if you take a chance on that "fella down the street". Certainly for the first visit you should reckon on your gardener needing more than an hour to get the job done. Certain Bishop's Waltham gardeners will want 2 or more hours work each time they visit your garden. This is understandable when you factor in travelling time, loading/unloading, and waste disposal.
It would not be normal for a genuine Bishop's Waltham gardener to ask for payment in advance, so be wary if this happens to you. However this could legitimately happen with bigger jobs like hard landscaping where money for materials is required. Payment in cash is not unusual for gardeners, though this will be requested after all work is completed and approved. Once you have paid your gardener get a receipt, so there are no disputes about unpaid bills.
Right from the start and before any work commences, ensure your gardener has a clear understanding of exactly what needs doing. The layout of your garden is something any decent gardener will be able to help you with, they will know which plants perform best where, don't be scared to ask for guidance. Ensure that the gardener will take away lawn cuttings, weeds and twigs afterwards, not all do this. This should really be 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. There is no telling what advantages may be gained by you for such little acts of kindness. By chatting with your gardener you can start to establish a friendly relationship, this should enable you to immerse yourself in their ideas and soak up some of their gardening knowledge. Don't stand there all day twittering on however, which only results in a frustrated gardener and an incomplete garden.
Tree Surgery Bishop's Waltham
Many gardeners in Bishop's Waltham will have a reasonable knowledge of trees in addition to shrubs and plants, and they will usually be delighted to do a few essential tree surgery jobs when required. Whilst your neighbourhood Bishop's Waltham gardener should have the required skills to undertake cutting back and pruning, for any important work it is best to use the specialist services of a qualified tree surgeon.
Trees can soon become overgrown and cause problems for your house and any outbuildings. The roots can also damage patios, drives, foundations and sewage pipework, therefore you must always keep a watchful eye on them. Have a word with your gardener if you believe that any of the trees on your property in Bishop's Waltham are causing problems, because they will probably be able to help to remedy the issue, or know someone who can.

A few gardeners in Bishop's Waltham might even have a "Waste Carrier's Licence", which permits them to take larger volumes and different forms of waste.

If your garden in Bishop's Waltham is piled up with all manner of rubbish, and not merely green waste, you will possibly need to bring in a licenced Bishop's Waltham garden clearance specialist, who will be familiar with managing and recycling such waste. If you've got a significant amount of junk in your garden you could think about renting a mini-skip.
