Finding a Gardener in Cross Hills: 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. You could ask the "guy down the road" who does a bit of gardening or you could call on a professional Cross Hills gardener. Whilst even professional Cross Hills 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.
You certainly want a gardener who will treat your garden with respect and not cause it any harm or damage. So, your main objective must be to find a trustworthy Cross Hills gardener who has a reputation for doing an excellent job. Some plants and trees need special care, in which case this is even more important. Don't get stuck with rogues and cowboys, hire a proper gardener.
There are plenty of jobs that require regular attention even if you've only got a small garden. More frequent visits will be necessary in the spring and summertime and maybe none at all during the wintertime. Among the most common jobs needing to be done in Cross Hills gardens are weeding, lawn mowing, hedge trimming and general cleaning. It is unlikely that your gardener will refuse tasks such as waste removal, patio installation, driveway cleaning and repairing fences.
The rates charged by professional gardeners varies widely but if you are paying an hourly rate of about £20, that is reasonable. 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. Some gardeners may even insist on a minimum slot of two or three hours. 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.
Payment in advance is not something that gardeners usually ask for, so be cautious if your gardener requires this. Large projects like fencing or decking would be an exception to this rule, when a deposit for materials will be requested. Once your garden is finished you should expect to be asked for payment in cash, because most gardeners prefer this. Don't forget to ask for a receipt irrespective of if you pay by cash, card or cheque, having proof of payment prevents later quarrels.
Don't just leave them to get on with it, make sure your explain your exact requirements before they start. Make the most of having a specialist on hand and follow their guidance with regards to your choice of plants and shrubs. Ensure that the gardener will take away lawn cuttings, weeds and twigs afterwards, not all do this.
Gardening is thirsty work, so don't forget to make a hot or cold drink for your gardener to keep his/her spirits up. Such thoughfulness will be appreciated and should ensure that your gardener does the best job possible. Pop out for a chat with your gardener from time to time so you can benefit from their ideas and keep a friendly rapport. You should not however take this to the extreme, and stand there chattering all day long, which will only hold up your gardener and make the job take longer.
Cross Hills Garden Design
When you want a complete change, you might think about re-designing your garden altogether. This may require the expertise of a specialist Cross Hills garden designer. Some gardeners have skills in this field while others prefer to get on with the routine gardening chores. Have a chat with your gardener and see if they are happy to take this on. If not it will be a case of finding an expert.
Tree Surgery Cross Hills
With a reasonable knowledge of shrubs and trees, some of the better gardeners in Cross Hills will be delighted to do some basic tree surgery assignments once in a while. Although your neighbourhood Cross Hills gardener should have the necessary skills to handle trimming and pruning, for any important work it is preferable to use the professional services of a qualified tree surgeon.
Larger trees can quite easily become overgrown and cause problems for your home and outbuildings. You must keep a keen eye on any trees on your land, as the roots can also damage driveways, sewage lines, building foundations and pathways. Speak to your gardener if you suspect any trees on your property in Cross Hills are causing issues, since they'll likely be able to help to resolve the issue, or know of someone else who can.
Garden Clearance Cross Hills

A few gardeners in Cross Hills may even have a "Waste Carrier Licence", which will permit them to take different kinds and larger quantities of waste. If only minimal amounts of waste are involved it may be feasible to get rid of most of it by making use of your local council green waste bin (if you have one), otherwise you'll need some extra help.
You'll most likely have to bring in an authorised garden clearance specialist, if like many other homeowners in Cross Hills, you have a garden that is heaped up with all sorts of junk, and not just green waste. You could always look into renting a mini-skip if you've got a lot of waste in your garden. In addition to your garden waste, this will perhaps also enable you to have a clear out in your garage, your shed and even your loft, if they are full of clutter as well.
"Green" waste would usually be considered to be stuff like: turf, hedge clippings, bushes, topsoil, rocks, logs, twigs, dead plants, lawn trimmings and pruned branches.
