Finding a Gardener in Cold Ash: If you cannot spare the time to tackle your tired and dreary garden, you should not be reluctant to bring in some outside help to knock it back into shape. Now, you should be looking for the "right" kind of help in the shape of a professional gardener rather than the "geezer down the road" who puts his hand to anything. Whilst even professional Cold Ash gardeners don't always have formal qualifications, they can usually be relied upon to have more horticultural knowledge than any "chap down the road" is apt to have. The decision as they say is yours.
Everyone likes their garden to be looked after properly and by a gardener who knows his/her stuff. Therefore you should take your time in finding a gardener in the Cold Ash area who can be trusted. This will be even more critical for those of you with trees and shrubs in your garden. You shouldn't take any chances, hire the best gardener you can afford.
All gardens, whether large or small need regular upkeep and maintenance with lots of jobs to be done. These jobs will need doing more regularly in the spring and summer and perhaps not at all in the winter. People with gardens in Cold Ash most often want jobs done like general tidying, lawn mowing, hedge cutting and weeding. Most Cold Ash gardeners will also take on jobs like waste clearance, driveway cleaning, decking installation and fence repairs.
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. It's not uncommon for a gardener to request at least two hour minimum visit times. 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. Paying a deposit for materials might be appropriate for bigger jobs like patio laying. Many Cold Ash gardeners favour payment in cash, very few will take cards, they will only ask after you have approved their work. No matter if you pay your gardener with cheque, cash or card, ask for a receipt, you don't want any disputes or arguments about payments down the road.
At the outset explain to your gardener what your exact requirements are, a job list is also helpful in setting out your priorities. Ask your gardener about your specific garden conditions and get advice about the best plants to grow to get the perfect results. 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. Garden waste is not the easiest stuff to get rid of, so make sure they take it away.
Spare a thought for your gardener toiling away on your property with no facilities at hand. Offer them the use of your toilet and perhaps provide a drink. You may be repaid for thoughtfulness like this by a better service and a happier gardener. Try to have a regular dialogue with your gardener, during which you can swap ideas, gain some knowledge and forge a friendly rapport at the same time. But you should not hinder their work with endless talking, they may rush to catch up and not do the job properly.
Tree Surgery Cold Ash
Many gardeners in Cold Ash have some basic knowledge of trees in addition to shrubs and plants, and they'll be pleased to do a few elementary tree surgery jobs if required. For minor pruning and clipping, your neighbourhood Cold Ash gardener ought to have all the required skills, but it is best to use the professional services of a certified tree surgeon for any important work.
It isn't out of the ordinary for trees to overgrow and get out of hand, causing a hazard to electricity lines or even your property. You should keep a keen eye on any trees that are growing on your land, seeing as their roots can also do harm to drives, sewerage lines, footings and terraces. If you believe that any trees on your property in Cold Ash are causing issues, talk to your gardener first, because they'll probably be able to help.

Garden Clearance Cold Ash
Whilst some gardeners will be happy to do a certain amount of garden clearance in Cold Ash, most of them won't have a Waste Carrier Licence, and will therefore be restricted in the kind and quantity of waste they can take. If only minimal quantities of waste are involved it might be possible to get rid of most of it by making use of your local council garden waste bin (if you have one), otherwise you will need additional help.
Needless to say, a lot of gardens in Cold Ash are stacked up with all manner of rubbish, and not simply green waste, so for this type of clearance you'll possibly need to bring in an authorised Cold Ash garden clearance specialist. If you have a lot of rubbish in your garden you might look into renting a mini-skip. This would allow you to ditch not only garden waste, but maybe also clear out your garage, your shed and perhaps even you loft space.
"Green" waste would usually be thought of as stuff such as: weeds, rocks, logs, pruned branches, twigs, bushes, turf, hedge clippings, topsoil and lawn trimmings.
