Finding a Gardener in Clay Cross: If your garden is looking overgrown and untidy you should think about calling in some help if you don't have the inclination or time to tackle it on your own. That help should come in the shape of a professional Clay Cross gardener with a bit of experience, and not the "chap down the street" who knocks on your door and offers to jet wash your patio. Although there is no guarantee that a professional gardener will have any recognised horticultural qualifications, he/she will almost certainly have a great deal more gardening knowledge than that "guy down the road" is going to have. Ultimately, you will have to choose what is best for your garden.
Everyone likes their garden to be looked after properly and by a gardener who knows his/her stuff. Always ensure that you locate a gardener in Clay Cross who you can rely on to do a nice job. When you have a garden containing trees and shrubs needing expert care, this is even more important. Don't allow a cowboy to ruin your garden, hire a decent one at the outset.
Even if your garden is relatively small, there are a handful of jobs which need attending to on a routine basis. It is essential to get these jobs done even more frequently when spring and then summer arrives. In general mowing lawns, weeding, trimming hedges and general tidying are the common jobs that people in Clay Cross need doing in their gardens. Most Clay Cross gardeners will also take on jobs like laying patios, waste removal, repairing fences and driveway cleaning.
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. It is unlikely that any gardener will be able to achieve very much in just one hour. Sessions of 2 or 3 hours are standard for many gardeners in Clay Cross. 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.
If a gardener asks for payment up front you should be very wary, as this is not normal practice. An exception can be made when a big project like decking installation is involved, and lots of materials have to be purchased. Once your garden is finished you should expect to be asked for payment in cash, because most gardeners prefer this. Always insist on a receipt whether you pay by cheque, card or cash, proof of payment is important in case of any future arguments.
Prior to work commencing give the gardener a clear picture of what you're expecting to be done. Always ask your gardener for advice, he or she will know exactly what plants are best suited to your garden conditions. Check that your gardener will remove any waste such as lawn trimmings and branches, some do not. When they have done a good job of tidying your garden they should really take away the rubbish.
It is polite to offer your gardener a drink or two throughout the day, they can build up quite a thirst with all that hard graft. Such kindnesses are much appreciated and will likely be repaid by extra efforts on your behalf. 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. This is not to say you should stand there all day gabbing, this will merely hinder your gardener and stop him/her from doing their job.
