Finding a Gardener in Bovingdon: When your beloved garden in Bovingdon is looking somewhat tatty and overgrown you will have to decide whether to put aside a few hours to do it yourself or take the lazy option and pay someone else to do it for you. Think carefully before you hire someone because lots of people in Bovingdon do gardening, some are professional gardeners and some just dabble. Whilst even professional Bovingdon gardeners don't always have formal qualifications, they can usually be relied upon to have more horticultural knowledge than any "fella down the street" is apt to have.
A gardener who knows precisely what they're doing will treat your garden with the respect that it deserves. So, try to find a local Bovingdon gardener who is trustworthy and reliable. If you've got trees, plants and shrubs needing special attention, this will become more important still. Hire a professional gardener and never settle for second best.
The jobs that need doing on a routine basis are much the same with both large and small gardens in Bovingdon. The frequency of visits by your gardener will increase throughout the spring and summer and may not be necessary at all in winter. In general mowing lawns, general tidying, hedge cutting and weeding are the common jobs that people in Bovingdon need doing in their gardens. Additional tasks like patio installation, driveway cleaning, fence repairs and waste removal will also be within the capabilities of most experienced gardeners.
While that "fellow down the street" might quote you ten to fifteen pounds an hour to "do" your garden, an experienced gardener will come at a considerably higher price (£20 per hour maybe). It is unlikely that any gardener will be able to achieve very much in just one hour. You might find that your gardener will not be interested in visits of less than two hours. This isn't surprising when you appreciate that they have to get to and from your house, load/unload, and resposibly dispose of your waste at the local recycling centre.
You should be suspicious of any gardener who demands payment in advance. An exception to this rule of thumb would be with more extensive tasks for example fencing or decking when being asked for a deposit for materials is quite normal. "Cash is king" as they say, and most gardeners prefer this type of payment, but only once the work is complete of course. Remember to get a receipt whether you pay the gardener by cheque, card or cash, this negates later disputes.
Make sure your gardener is clear about your requirements, give him/her a list of jobs before they begin. 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. Establish that all of the weeds, lawn trimmings and resulting waste will be removed, they don't all offer this service.
It pays to be thoughtful and supplying your gardener with a drink or two will help his/her day along. You may be repaid for thoughtfulness like this by a better service and a happier gardener. 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. It is not however a good idea to pester them constantly which will have the effect of annoying them and slowing the work down.
Tree Surgery Bovingdon
When asked, some of the better gardeners in Bovingdon will be willing to do some basic tree surgery, as the majority of them will have at least a rudimentary knowledge of shrubs and trees. Although for any important work it is advisable to use the specialist services of a certified tree surgeon, for incidental cutting back and pruning, your neighbourhood Bovingdon gardener should have the necessary skills.
Trees can easily become overgrown and cause problems for your house and outbuildings. The roots could also damage patios, sewer pipes, footings and drives, therefore you must always keep tabs on them.
