Finding a Gardener in Collingham: Nobody likes to see their garden looking a little the worse for wear, so fetching in some outside help is always a possibility if you can't find the time to spare. It's often easy to just bring in the "geezer down the street" who does odd jobs and gardening on the side, but think carefully, would a proper gardener be a better choice? The problem is that "geezer down the road" will probably know very little about gardening, whereas a professional will have a wide spectrum of knowledge.
Everyone likes their garden to be looked after properly and by a gardener who knows his/her stuff. So, your main objective must be to find a trustworthy Collingham gardener who has a reputation for doing an excellent job. Trees and shrubs may require expert management, meaning this is more important than ever. You shouldn't take any chances, hire the best gardener you can afford.
Even if you've got a small garden, there will be various tasks that require attention in a routine manner. Such routine jobs will need attention more frequently at certain times of the year, in particular spring and summer. Among the most common jobs needing to be done in Collingham gardens are mowing lawns, hedge cutting, general tidying and weeding. It isn't unusual for professional Collingham gardeners to help you out with garden fencing, cleaning driveways, waste removal and patio installation.
Decent gardeners will come at a premium, so don't expect them to work for peanuts. Charges generally start at approximately twenty pounds per hour. Most Collingham gardeners will not want to do just one hours work. The majority will generally prefer to spend 2 to 3 hours on each visit. Bear in mind the fact that they have travelling time to and from your home, and they may need to visit the local dump to dispose or your garden waste.
Be wary of "gardeners" who ask for payment in advance, no genuine Collingham gardener would do this. You might however expect to pay a deposit for materials with larger tasks such as decking or fencing. After the completion of your garden it would not be at all uncommon for your gardener to ask to be paid in cash. Don't forget to ask for a receipt irrespective of if you pay by card, cash or cheque, having proof of payment prevents later quarrels.
Be clear what your requirements are before the gardener begins work, have a list of jobs that need doing. Don't be afraid to ask for advice, your gardener is the best person to tell you which plants are best for your garden. Check that your gardener will remove any waste such as lawn trimmings and branches, some do not. This garden waste can build up and at some point you are going to need to get rid of it.
While most gardeners bring their own food and refreshments it doesn't hurt to ask if they would like a cup of tea or coffee while they are working. There is no telling what advantages may be gained by you for such little acts of kindness. It's important that you and your gardener have a friendly relationship with each other. Pop into the garden for regular chats to discuss gardening ideas and plans. However, don't follow them around all day, generally getting in their way and bombarding them with constant questions.
