Finding a Gardener in Burley: Don't get stressed out if your garden in Burley is looking unkempt and you can never find the time to sort it out, there is always the option of calling in some outside help. So, you could contact the "geezer down the street" who somebody told you about or alternatively get in touch with a professional Burley gardener who will likely do a better job. The problem is that "geezer down the street" will probably know very little about gardening, whereas a professional will have a wide spectrum of knowledge. Ultimately, you will have to choose what is best for your garden.
Your beloved garden deserves to be treated with respect by someone who has pride in their work and the knowledge to do it properly. This means that finding a local Burley gardener who does a good job and can be trusted should be your aim. If you've got trees, plants and shrubs needing special attention, this will become more important still. Don't make do with any Tom, Dick or Harry, get yourself a decent gardener.
Even if you only have a small garden, there are lots of jobs that need doing on a regular basis. The frequency of visits by your gardener will increase throughout the spring and summer and may not be necessary at all in winter. Among the most common jobs needing to be done in Burley gardens are hedge trimming, weeding, lawn mowing and general cleaning. Bigger tasks such as waste clearance, garden fencing, cleaning driveways and decking installation can also be handled by the majority of gardeners.
How much you pay depends on who you hire, the hourly rate for a professional gardener will be at least £20, while you might get away with £10 - £15 if you take a chance on that "geezer down the road". Usually gardeners will not be happy doing just one hours work. Most will want to put in at least 2 to 3 hours at a time to make it worth their while. When you take into consideration travelling time, getting equipment on and off the van, and going to the local tip with your garden waste, this is understandable.
It would not be normal for a genuine Burley gardener to ask for payment in advance, so be wary if this happens to you. You might however expect to pay a deposit for materials with larger tasks such as decking or fencing. Once the work is completed, it's not unusual for the gardener to ask for payment in cash rather than a cheque. Always insist on a receipt whether you pay by cash, cheque or card, proof of payment is important in case of any future arguments.
Make sure your gardener is clear about your requirements, give him/her a list of jobs before they begin. Knowing which plants are most suitable for your garden's condition isn't always easy, so ask your gardener for advice on this. 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. You want to avoid being left with large quantities of garden waste that you cannot get shot of.
Offer your gardener a hot or cold drink while they are at work and the use of a toilet is also helpful. Gardeners are appreciative of gestures like this and will no doubt reward you by doing the best possible job. Building a friendly relationship with your gardener is always a good idea, it enables you to soak up a little of their knowledge and ideas. Don't stand there all day twittering on however, which only results in a frustrated gardener and an incomplete garden.

A few gardeners in Burley could even have a Waste Carrier's Licence, which will enable them to take different types and larger volumes of waste.

If your garden in Burley is piled up with all sorts of garbage, and not merely "green" waste, you'll possibly have to bring in an authorised Burley garden clearance expert, who will be accustomed to managing and recycling such waste materials. You could also think about hiring a mini-skip if you have a substantial amount of waste in your garden. Adopting this route will enable you to maybe have a clear out in your garage, your shed and perhaps even your loft, as well as your garden waste.
