Finding a Gardener in Colyton: 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. So, you could contact the "geezer down the street" who somebody told you about or alternatively get in touch with a professional Colyton gardener who will likely do a better job. 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 "geezer down the road" is going to have. The decision as they say is yours.
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. Therefore, your goal must be to locate a gardener in Colyton who does a thorough job and can be depended upon. This is even more important if you have plants or trees in your garden which need specialist care. Avoid settling for any old chancer, find yourself a decent gardener.
Gardens are all about routine maintenance, with jobs to be done fortnightly or monthly, even with smaller gardens. The warmth of spring and summer increases the frequency with which these jobs need to be done. Typically people with gardens in Colyton need jobs done like hedge cutting, grass cutting, general cleaning and weeding. It is unlikely that your gardener will refuse tasks such as waste clearance, laying patios, driveway cleaning and garden fencing.
How much you pay depends on who you hire, the hourly rate for a professional gardener will be at least £20, while you might get away with £10 - £15 if you take a chance on that "fella down the street". Don't expect miracles, especially on the first session, and count on it taking more than a single hour for your gardener to make much difference to the look of your garden. Most gardeners will have a minimum visit time of 2 hours. 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.
Asking for money up front is not normal for gardeners (unlike builders), so be extra careful if they do. More involved tasks like patio laying can be considered an exception, since expensive materials need to be obtained and quite rightly a deposit will be requested. Ensure you have some cash to hand on gardening day because most gardeners prefer this kind of payment when they have finished. To avoid any arguments later on, make sure you get a receipt no matter what kind of payment you agree on.
Before the gardener gets to work on your garden make sure he or she is clear about your requirements, a list of expected tasks might help. Always ask your gardener for advice, he or she will know exactly what plants are best suited to your garden conditions. It is always a good idea to check if your gardener includes the removal of waste in his/her service, this is not always the case.
Working in the garden can get cold in winter and hot in summer, so spare a thought for your gardener and keep him/her supplied with a drink. Gardeners are appreciative of gestures like this and will no doubt reward you by doing the best possible job. So that you can forge a friendly relationship with your gardener it is often a nice idea to pop out for a chat now and again. This also helps you to gain some additional gardening knowhow and useful tips. Do not take this to the extreme however, and impede their work with constant babbling, they may become frustrated and not do a proper job.
