Finding a Gardener in Clipstone: Even though you may enjoy doing the gardening you can sometimes get so behind that it becomes overgrown and a bit of a mess. This might be the right time to bring in someone else to help you. It's often easy to just bring in the "fellow down the road" who does odd jobs and gardening on the side, but think carefully, would a proper gardener be a better choice? 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 "chap down the street" is going to have.
It is never a good idea to have somebody looking after your garden who doesn't know what they're doing. Therefore you should take your time in finding a gardener in the Clipstone area who can be trusted. This is particularly crucial when your garden contains shrubs and trees which require special attention. Don't put up with chancers, seek out a good gardener.
Gardens are all about routine maintenance, with jobs to be done fortnightly or monthly, even with smaller gardens. As you can imagine the need for this regular maintenance is more necessary in spring and summer. The commonest gardening jobs that folk in Clipstone need doing are general cleaning, hedge cutting, weeding and mowing lawns. Bigger tasks such as waste removal, cleaning driveways, fence repairs and patio installation can also be handled by the majority of gardeners.
While that "guy down the street" might quote you ten to fifteen pounds an hour to "do" your garden, an experienced gardener will come at a considerably higher price (£20 per hour maybe). One hour in your garden is not very much and the average gardener will need to spend more time than that to get much done. Most gardeners will have a minimum visit time of 2 hours. Travel to and away from your home, bringing in and taking away mowers and tools, and the responsible disposal of your waste all have to be factored in.
Steer clear of gardeners who request payment in advance. An exception might be when a large job is involved such as decking or fencing when some money up front may be asked for. When the gardener has finished working you may be asked for payment in cash, this is not at all unusual. Insist on getting a receipt especially where cash is involved, this will avoid any disputes about unpaid work later on.
Make certain the gardener knows what your expectations are for your garden, job lists can help make everything clearer. Don't be afraid to ask for advice, your gardener is the best person to tell you which plants are best for your garden. Getting rid of your lawn trimmings and hedge clippings won't always be part of the service so ensure that in your case it is.
If you are at home while the gardening is being done, keep your gardener supplied with drinks. Keeping a gardener "sweet" with little acts of kindness like this may be repaid by increased efforts on their part. To keep a friendly rapport going with your gardener and to gain the maximum benefit from their knowledge, pop out for a chat whenever you get the chance. Constant interruptions should however be avoided.
