Finding a Gardener in Brixham: When your beloved garden in Brixham 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. Now you could call in a proper Brixham gardener or you could try the "fellow down the street". Though now and again you will find that "bloke down the road" has some reasonable gardening knowledge, a professional gardener in Brixham will generally be more qualified in horticultural matters. Picking who is best for your garden is important.
It should certainly go without saying that any gardener you hire should be informed enough to care for your garden and the contents within it. Therefore you should be careful that you choose a gardener in Brixham who can be relied upon. This is especially important if you have trees and shrubs, which need proper care and attention. Never compromise, get yourself a decent Brixham gardener.
The routine jobs which need doing in the garden are likely to be much the same regardless whether your garden is small or big. It is essential to get these jobs done even more frequently when spring and then summer arrives. People with gardens in Brixham most often want jobs done like hedge pruning, lawn mowing, general cleaning and weeding. Other jobs like cleaning driveways, decking installation, waste clearance and garden fencing are also within most gardeners remit.
On the subject of price, this can vary with areas and gardeners, but charges of about twenty pounds per hour are normal and may be even higher. It would be unfair to expect any gardener to whip your garden into shape in just a single hour, so count on it taking longer than this. At least two to three hours work is often the minimum that gardeners will wish to put in each time. Don't forget, they have to get to and from your location, they have to unload and load their van and they may have to dispose of your waste which could mean a trip to the local tip.
Be cautious of anyone who demands payment for gardening services in advance. Having said that, a deposit for materials may be required for bigger projects like hard landscaping. Quite often a gardener will ask to be paid in cash once the work is complete and that is of course fine. Be certain to get a receipt from your gardener whether you pay him/her by card, cash or cheque.
Prior to work commencing give the gardener a clear picture of what you're expecting to be done. 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. Removing and disposing of lawn and hedge clippings isn't always part of the service so make sure that your gardener will do this for you.
If you are at home while the gardening is being done, keep your gardener supplied with drinks. Such thoughfulness will be appreciated and should ensure that your gardener does the best job possible. Engage in some conversation with your gardener whenever you get the chance so that you can build a friendly relationship and benefit from their knowledge and ideas. Do not take this to the extreme however, and impede their work with constant babbling, they may become frustrated and not do a proper job.
Garden Clearance Brixham
You will find that many Brixham gardeners will be happy to do a limited amount of garden clearance, as long as there is only "green" waste and there is not too much involved. A limited number of gardeners in Brixham could even have a Waste Carrier's Licence, which will permit them to take larger amounts and different kinds of waste. If only minimal volumes of waste are involved it may be feasible to get rid of most of it by using your local council garden waste bin (if you have one), otherwise you will need some extra help.
You'll probably need to bring in a licenced garden clearance expert, if like a lot of homeowners in Brixham, you've got a garden that's heaped up with all manner of rubbish, and not only "green" waste. There are other options that you could think about if you've got a large quantity of junk in your garden, hiring a mini-skip may be something that you could look into. Adopting this course would make it possible for you to perhaps have a clear out in your shed, your garage and maybe even your loft, as well as your garden waste.
In general "green" garden waste will be the likes of: hedge clippings, topsoil, turf, dead plants, bushes, roots, twigs, lawn trimmings, logs and pruned branches.
Tree Surgery Brixham
When asked, some gardeners in Brixham will be quite willing to do some basic tree surgery, as most of them will have at least an elementary knowledge of trees and plants. For minor clipping and pruning, your local Brixham gardener should have all the vital skills, but it is best to use the expert services of a qualified tree surgeon for any major work.
Tree damage to property and power lines isn't at all uncommon, and this can very easily happen if trees are allowed to get overgrown. Tree roots can also do harm to driveways, sewerage pipes, foundations and terraces, so you should always keep an eye on them. If you believe that these or some other problems are being triggered by trees within your property boundaries in Brixham, have a word with your gardener first for advice.
