Finding a Gardener in Carlton: If you wake up one day and realise just how untidy and overgrown your garden has become, it might be appropriate to call in somebody to help you out, unless you can find the time in your busy life to tackle it yourself. It is generally advisable to opt for a professional Carlton gardener, as opposed to the "chap down the street" who does a bit of gardening. Although many professional gardeners don't have any formal qualifications, they generally have more relevant knowledge than that "geezer down the street" does. This article may help you to decide.
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. So, your main objective must be to find a trustworthy Carlton gardener who has a reputation for doing an excellent job. When your garden features certain shrubs, plants and trees needing particular care, this will be even more essential. Don't put up with "rogue trader" gardeners, choose a dependable one.
Large and small gardens alike need routine maintenance with various jobs that need attending to. Gardener visits will generally need to be more regular in spring and summer, with jobs being done more frequently. Typical jobs that folk with gardens in Carlton require are weeding, hedge trimming, general cleaning and lawn mowing. The majority of Carlton gardeners will also be more than happy to deal with bigger tasks like patio installation, driveway cleaning, repairing fences and waste clearance.
Don't expect to get a decent gardener for peanuts, while that "bloke down the road" might only ask for £10 to £12 per hour, you're unlikely to get a professional for much less than £20 an hour. Depending on the state of your garden it is likely that your gardener will need more than just one hour to make an impression. For it to be worth their while, gardeners generally favour doing 2 or 3 hours at a stretch. When you consider things like travel, tool unloading and re-loading, and taking your waste to the tip this is easy to understand.
Asking for money up front is not normal for gardeners (unlike builders), so be extra careful if they do. An exception might be when a large job is involved such as patio laying when some money up front may be asked for. It is not unusual for gardeners to ask for payment in cash, but only after the work is done. No matter what form of payment you agree on, be sure to get a receipt so there are no arguments later on.
Make sure your gardener is clear about your requirements, give him/her a list of jobs before they begin. Planning out exactly what goes where in your garden is important, the help and guidance of your gardener will help you to get it right. If there is going to be a lot of waste produced by your gardener, double check they he/she will take it away afterwards. Garden waste is not the easiest stuff to get rid of, so make sure they take it away.
Offer your gardener a hot or cold drink while they are at work and the use of a toilet is also helpful. Treating your gardener well could easily result in you getting some extra work done at no additional charge. Don't be afraid to wander out and have a chat with your gardener when circumstances permit, this will help build a friendly connection with the gardener and encourage a sharing of ideas. This does not mean you should pester them with constant wittering which will simply hinter them and slow down the work rate.

Most regular gardeners in Carlton prefer to concentrate on the day to day garden maintenance, leaving design and such like to the better qualified. It would pay you to ask your gardener if they have the confidence to do this. Otherwise you'll have to search for an expert in the field of garden design.
