Finding a Gardener in Blagdon: If your Blagdon garden is in need of some attention and nobody in your household is willing to tackle it, don't be afraid to ask for a little help and assistance. You could ask the "guy down the road" who does a bit of gardening or you could call on a professional Blagdon gardener. Whilst a professional gardener might not necessarily have qualifications he/she will likely know considerably more than that "chap down the street".
It is never a good idea to have somebody looking after your garden who doesn't know what they're doing. Always ensure that you locate a gardener in Blagdon who you can rely on to do a nice job. When your garden features certain shrubs, plants and trees needing particular care, this will be even more essential. Don't settle for less than the best.
Small gardens need routine attention just like larger ones and the jobs may be much the same but on a smaller scale. Spring is the busiest time with jobs needing to be done more frequently than during the rest of the year. As a rule general tidying, hedge pruning, weeding and lawn mowing are the typical gardening jobs that need doing on a regular basis. It isn't unusual for professional Blagdon gardeners to help you out with repairing fences, waste clearance, patio installation and cleaning driveways.
Decent gardeners will come at a premium, so don't expect them to work for peanuts. Charges generally start at approximately twenty pounds per hour. One hours work is not enough to make much impression on your garden, so you should reckon on them needing to spend more time than this. It's not uncommon for a gardener to request at least two hour minimum visit times. The reason for this is that they have to allow time for travel, waste disposal and getting tools on and off their truck.
Asking for money up front is not normal for gardeners (unlike builders), so be extra careful if they do. Large projects like hard landscaping would be an exception to this rule, when a deposit for materials will be requested. If your gardener asks to be paid in cash after the job is complete, this is not something to be worried about and is normal within the trade. Whether you pay by cheque, card or cash, insist on a receipt, this will prevent later disputes over payment.
A list of required tasks will help your gardener to plan his/her day, clearly lay out you exact requirements at the start. Make the most of having a specialist on hand and follow their guidance with regards to your choice of plants and shrubs. Gardening tends to generate a lot of waste, so verify that your gardener is going to dispose of this when they are finished.
Gardening is thirsty work, so don't forget to make a hot or cold drink for your gardener to keep his/her spirits up. This sort of kindness is always very much appreciated. So that you can forge a friendly relationship with your gardener it is often a nice idea to pop out for a chat now and again. This also helps you to gain some additional gardening knowhow and useful tips. Don't overdo this though, because constant nattering will slow down the whole process and may put your gardener off returning.
Blagdon Garden Design
It should not be automatically assumed that a gardener who mows your lawn or trims your hedge will be good at garden design. Quite a few gardeners have expertise in this area of gardening, while the rest stick to the more mundane tasks. See if your gardener is happy doing this. If not, there are plenty of garden design experts out there.
Tree Surgery Blagdon
With a good knowledge of trees and plants, some of the better gardeners in Blagdon will be pleased to do some basic tree surgery tasks from time to time. While for any important work it is preferable to use the expert services of a qualified tree surgeon, for minor trimming and pruning, your neighbourhood Blagdon gardener should have all the required skills.
Tree damage to property and utility lines is not at all unheard of, and this can easily occur if trees are permitted to become overgrown. Also, building foundations, patio areas, driveways and sewage pipework can be seriously damaged by tree roots, therefore keeping an eye on any trees that are on your land is vitally important. Have a chat with your gardener if you have suspicions that any of the trees on your property in Blagdon are causing problems, as they'll likely be able to help to resolve the issue, or know of someone who can.
Garden Clearance Blagdon
You will find that certain Blagdon gardeners will be willing to do a certain amount of garden clearance, providing that there's only green waste and there is not too much involved. Some gardeners in Blagdon might even hold a "Waste Carrier's Licence", which enables them to take larger volumes and different forms of waste. If you have a local council garden waste bin (you generally pay extra for these), you might be able to dispose of most of it gradually, if the volumes of waste are only modest.
Of course, many gardens in Blagdon are heaped up with all manner of garbage, and not just green waste, so for this type of task you'll probably need to bring in a registered Blagdon garden clearance specialist. If you've got a largish amount of junk in your garden you could also think about hiring a mini-skip. This will allow you to dispose of not just garden waste, but maybe also clear out your garage, your shed and possibly even you loft space.
Essentially wood chippings, twigs, lawn trimmings, bushes, pruned branches, soil, hedge clippings, turf, logs and dead plants, would be regarded as "green" waste.
