Finding a Gardener in Crawley Down: If your garden is in a bit of a state and you don't have the time to sort it out yourself, there is no shame in calling in some help. Think carefully before you hire someone because lots of people in Crawley Down do gardening, some are professional gardeners and some just dabble. 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 "guy down the street" is going to have.
You certainly want a gardener who will treat your garden with respect and not cause it any harm or damage. So, be certain to locate a gardener in Crawley Down who you know you can trust. When you have a garden containing trees and shrubs needing expert care, this is even more important. Retain the services of the best you can afford and don't take chances.
Even if you only have a small garden, there are lots of jobs that need doing on a regular basis. These jobs will need doing more regularly in the spring and summer and perhaps not at all in the winter. The commonest gardening jobs that folk in Crawley Down need doing are trimming hedges, weeding, general tidying and mowing lawns. Most Crawley Down gardeners will also take on jobs like waste removal, decking installation, driveway cleaning and fence repairs.
Gardeners rates vary, but professionals will probably set you back around £20 per hour, with that "geezer down the road" accepting perhaps £10 or £12 for the same time period. 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. Certain Crawley Down gardeners will want 2 or more hours work each time they visit your garden. 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.
Steer clear of gardeners who request payment in advance. An exception to this rule of thumb would be with more extensive tasks for example landscaping when being asked for a deposit for materials is quite normal. It is not unusual for gardeners to ask for payment in cash, but only after the work is done. Be certain to get a receipt from your gardener whether you pay him/her by cash, cheque or card.
Don't just leave them to get on with it, make sure your explain your exact requirements before they start. Getting the full benefit of your gardeners expertise is something you should always seek to do. 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.
It is polite to offer your gardener a drink or two throughout the day, they can build up quite a thirst with all that hard graft. Keeping a gardener "sweet" with little acts of kindness like this may be repaid by increased efforts on their part. It helps to keep things friendly, so popping out for a chat every now and again will help to do this and also give you the chance to get some tips from your gardener. As with most things in life, moderation is the key. Keep chats short and to the point so that they can get on with what they are there for.
Garden Clearance Crawley Down
Whilst some gardeners will be willing to do a certain amount of garden clearance in Crawley Down, many of them will not have a Waste Carrier Licence, and will thus be restricted in the volume of waste they are able to take. If you've got access to a local council garden waste bin (you normally have to pay extra for this), you might be able to get rid of the majority of it bit by bit, if the quantities of waste are only modest.
You will most likely need to call a certified garden clearance expert, if like many homeowners in Crawley Down, you have a garden that is stacked up with all manner of trash, and not simply green waste. You might also look into hiring a mini-skip if you've got a largish amount of rubbish in your garden. This will make it possible for you to dispose of not only garden waste, but maybe also clear out your garage, your shed and possibly even you attic.
"Green" waste would usually be considered to be items such as: soil, turf, hedge clippings, weeds, bushes, twigs, logs, sawdust, tree branches and lawn trimmings.
