Finding a Gardener in Cwmbran: When your beloved garden in Cwmbran is looking somewhat tatty and overgrown you will have to decide whether to put aside a few hours to do it yourself or take the lazy option and pay someone else to do it for you. Should you hire a professional Cwmbran gardener or the "geezer down the road" who does gardens cheap? While it isn't necessary to have qualifications to work as a gardener in Cwmbran, professional usually beat that "bloke down the street" hands down when it comes to gardening knowledge.
A gardener who knows precisely what they're doing will treat your garden with the respect that it deserves. Always be certain to get hold of a local Cwmbran gardener who can be counted on. Even if your garden has only run of the mill plants you will want them looked after correctly. Don't get stuck with rogues and cowboys, hire a proper gardener.
Even if your garden is relatively small, there are a handful of jobs which need attending to on a routine basis. Of course such jobs will be more regular during the spring and summer months. The more commonly required jobs that need doing in Cwmbran gardens are weeding, grass cutting, general tidying and hedge cutting. It is unlikely that your gardener will refuse tasks such as cleaning driveways, waste removal, decking installation and garden fencing.
The rates charged by professional gardeners varies widely but if you are paying an hourly rate of about £20, that is reasonable. It would be unfair to expect any gardener to whip your garden into shape in just a single hour, so count on it taking longer than this. You might find that your gardener will not be interested in visits of less than two hours. They have to allow for other things such as disposing of your garden waste at the local rubbish tip, unloading tools and equipment, and actually getting to and from your home.
Asking for money up front is not normal for gardeners (unlike builders), so be extra careful if they do. More involved tasks like decking or fencing can be considered an exception, since expensive materials need to be obtained and quite rightly a deposit will be requested. When the gardener has finished working you may be asked for payment in cash, this is not at all unusual. 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.
Make sure your gardener is clear about your requirements, give him/her a list of jobs before they begin. Planning out exactly what goes where in your garden is important, the help and guidance of your gardener will help you to get it right. Not every gardener is prepared to remove all the green waste, it would pay you to verify that yours is happy to do this.
Working outdoors can be tough and thirsty work, so make sure that there is the offer of a cold or hot drink to help the day along. Small things like this will help make the gardener happy in his/her work and a contented gardener may work harder on your behalf. Wander out and have a chat with your gardener whenever the situation allows, this helps to develop a friendly connection and gives you the chance to share ideas. This doesn't mean you should stay there chattering all day though, you will be simply delaying their progress.
