Finding a Gardener in Bishopstoke: If you have a garden that is looking tired and overgrown, the time has come to get it back in shape. If you are too busy or too idle to do it yourself you are going to have to call in some help. Now you could call in a proper Bishopstoke gardener or you could try the "chap down the street". Whilst a professional gardener might not necessarily have qualifications he/she will likely know considerably more than that "geezer down the road". This article may help you to decide.
It is not too much to ask that any gardener treats your garden, plants and contents with a degree of respect. This means that finding a local Bishopstoke gardener who does a good job and can be trusted should be your aim. When you've got shrubs and trees requiring specialist care, this becomes even more vital. Get a dependable Bishopstoke gardener, not a "rogue trader".
The thing with gardens is that the jobs that need doing are routine, the same things need doing perhaps weekly, fortnightly or monthly. It goes without saying that regular garden maintenance is needed more frequently during the spring and summer months with a decline in the winter. The more commonplace place tasks that need doing in Bishopstoke gardens are likely to be weeding, general cleaning, mowing lawns and trimming hedges. It isn't unusual for professional Bishopstoke gardeners to help you out with driveway cleaning, decking installation, repairing fences and waste clearance.
Don't expect to get a decent gardener for peanuts, while that "fellow 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. In order to make much difference to your garden, most gardeners will need to invest more than an hour of hard graft. 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.
Asking for money up front is not normal for gardeners (unlike builders), so be extra careful if they do. Paying a deposit for materials might be appropriate for bigger jobs like fencing or decking. After the completion of your garden it would not be at all uncommon for your gardener to ask to be paid in cash. Always insist on a receipt whether you pay by card, cash or cheque, proof of payment is important in case of any future arguments.
Giving a clear understanding of just what needs doing before work begins, will better help your gardener meet your expectations. It is nice to have an expert on hand to help whip your garden into shape, make sure you exploit their knowledge to the full. Not every gardener is prepared to remove all the green waste, it would pay you to verify that yours is happy to do this. You want to avoid being left with large quantities of garden waste that you cannot get shot of.
It is customary to offer your gardener a hot or cold drink, though many bring their own refreshments. There is no telling what advantages may be gained by you for such little acts of kindness. It's important that you and your gardener have a friendly relationship with each other. Pop into the garden for regular chats to discuss gardening ideas and plans. Don't stand there all day twittering on however, which only results in a frustrated gardener and an incomplete garden.
