Finding a Gardener in Charing: Calling in some outside help to get your bedraggled garden back into shape, isn't something to be ashamed of if you never seem to have enough time to do it yourself. You could ask the "guy down the road" who does a bit of gardening or you could call on a professional Charing gardener. 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. This means that finding a local Charing gardener who does a good job and can be trusted should be your aim. The importance of this cannot be stressed enough, when certain shrubs and trees are involved. Don't get stuck with rogues and cowboys, hire a proper gardener.
The jobs that need doing on a routine basis are much the same with both large and small gardens in Charing. Of course such jobs will be more regular during the spring and summer months. Typical jobs that folk with gardens in Charing require are general cleaning, hedge pruning, mowing lawns and weeding. More involved tasks might include: fence repairs, patio installation, driveway cleaning and waste clearance.
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. Certainly for the first visit you should reckon on your gardener needing more than an hour to get the job done. Many gardeners might even insist on a minimum visit time of at least two hours or so. This is not greed or stretching the job out, but simply making allowances for travel, unloading and waste removal when necessary.
Be cautious of anyone who demands payment for gardening services in advance. An exception can be made when a big project like hard landscaping is involved, and lots of materials have to be purchased. Of course gardeners often ask for payment in cash after the work is completed. Insist on getting a receipt especially where cash is involved, this will avoid any disputes about unpaid work later on.
At the outset explain to your gardener what your exact requirements are, a job list is also helpful in setting out your priorities. Knowing which plants are most suitable for your garden's condition isn't always easy, so ask your gardener for advice on this. Taking away all the garden waste such as hedge clippings and lawn trimmings may not be included in the service, therefore you should establish whether your gardener will do this or not.
Though usually a gardener will bring along a flask or bottle of water, it is nice to offer him/her a cup of tea while working hard on your garden. You may be repaid for thoughtfulness like this by a better service and a happier gardener. 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. However, avoid incessant prattling which will only annoy the gardener and impede his/her progress.
