Finding a Gardener in Bodicote: Nobody likes to see their garden looking a little the worse for wear, so fetching in some outside help is always a possibility if you can't find the time to spare. Now, some people in Bodicote opt for the "guy down the street" who can put his hand to anything, while others choose a professional gardener with an established reputation. Though quite often you will find that a professional gardener in Bodicote doesn't hold any horticultural qualifications, he or she will probably be considerably more knowledgeable than your average "guy down the street".
If you cherish your garden you will want a gardener with some savvy, who appreciates what you have and looks after it correctly. So take care to track down a local Bodicote gardener who can be trusted to do a decent job. Even if your garden has only run of the mill plants you will want them looked after correctly. Take your time and get a proper Bodicote gardener.
Small gardens need routine attention just like larger ones and the jobs may be much the same but on a smaller scale. In spring and summer you should organise more frequent gardener visits as the jobs that need doing increase. Typical jobs that folk with gardens in Bodicote require are grass cutting, trimming hedges, general cleaning and weeding. It isn't unusual for professional Bodicote gardeners to help you out with repairing fences, decking installation, waste removal and cleaning driveways.
Decent gardeners do not come cheap, the "guy down the road" might do your gardening for £10 or £12 an hour, but a professional will probably charge nearer to £20 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. To make it worthwhile and to make an impression, gardeners normally like to put in two to three hours at a time. Getting to and from your house, unloading and re-loading tools and equipment, and transporting your garden waste to the local tip are all factors that they have to consider before taking on a gardening job.
Don't pay any Bodicote gardener in advance of the job being done, this is not the norm and they may disappear with your money. Large projects like decking installation would be an exception to this rule, when a deposit for materials will be requested. It is quite normal for a gardener to request cash payment, rather than card or cheque, so make sure you have some to hand. Remember to get a receipt whether you pay the gardener by card, cheque or cash, this negates later disputes.
Be clear about your expectations from the very beginning, prepare a list of work you need doing. Your gardener will be there to give you advice and guidance on any aspect of your garden, so make the most of his/her knowledge. Verify that any garden waste resulting from the work will be taken away, not all gardeners will do this.
Gardening makes you thirsty so keep yours supplied with drinks if you're at home. Small things like this will help make the gardener happy in his/her work and a contented gardener may work harder on your behalf. It helps to keep things friendly, so popping out for a chat every now and again will help to do this and also give you the chance to get some tips from your gardener. It is not however a good idea to pester them constantly which will have the effect of annoying them and slowing the work down.
Garden Design Bodicote
If you are fed up with how your garden looks and would like it to be altogether re-designed, you should not automatically assume that your gardener will be able to manage this.
