Finding a Gardener in Combe St Nicholas: 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 "chap down the road" who does odd jobs and gardening on the side, but think carefully, would a proper gardener be a better choice? While it isn't necessary to have qualifications to work as a gardener in Combe St Nicholas, professional usually beat that "geezer down the road" hands down when it comes to gardening knowledge.

Gardeners rates vary, but professionals will probably set you back around £20 per hour, with that "chap down the street" accepting perhaps £10 or £12 for the same time period. One hours work is not enough to make much impression on your garden, so you should reckon on them needing to spend more time than this. You might find that your gardener will not be interested in visits of less than two hours. Don't forget, they have to get to and from your location, they have to unload and load their van and they may have to dispose of your waste which could mean a trip to the local tip.
You should never expect to have to pay any gardener in advance. Having said that, a deposit for materials may be required for bigger projects like hard landscaping. Of course gardeners often ask for payment in cash after the work is completed. Whatever kind of payment you and your gardener agree on, get a receipt to avoid later arguments.
Prior to work commencing give the gardener a clear picture of what you're expecting to be done.

Small things like this will help make the gardener happy in his/her work and a contented gardener may work harder on your behalf. Pop out for a chat with your gardener from time to time so you can benefit from their ideas and keep a friendly rapport. Most gardeners will not however want you standing over them all day nattering.
