Finding a Gardener in Deal: Even though you may enjoy doing the gardening you can sometimes get so behind that it becomes overgrown and a bit of a mess. This might be the right time to bring in someone else to help you. Now, you should be looking for the "right" kind of help in the shape of a professional gardener rather than the "bloke down the road" who puts his hand to anything. Though quite often you will find that a professional gardener in Deal doesn't hold any horticultural qualifications, he or she will probably be considerably more knowledgeable than your average "fellow down the street".
You definately need to get a gardener who knows how to treat your garden and its contents. Always try to track down a gardener in the Deal area who will do a good job and who can be trusted. Some plants and trees need special care, in which case this is even more important. Don't make do with any Tom, Dick or Harry, get yourself a decent gardener.
There is a seemingly endless list of jobs to be done in the garden, even if it is relatively small. The warmth of spring and summer increases the frequency with which these jobs need to be done. As a rule general cleaning, hedge trimming, lawn mowing and weeding are the typical gardening jobs that need doing on a regular basis. Additional tasks like decking installation, driveway cleaning, garden fencing and waste removal will also be within the capabilities of most experienced gardeners.
An hourly rate of around £20 is what you should expect to pay for a decent gardener. You shouldn't expect too much from your gardener on his/her first visit, because gardening takes time and dependant on the amount of work that needs doing, several hours may be required. Most gardeners will have a minimum visit time of 2 hours. This is not greed or stretching the job out, but simply making allowances for travel, unloading and waste removal when necessary.
Asking for money up front is not normal for gardeners (unlike builders), so be extra careful if they do. If your gardener asks to be paid in cash after the job is complete, this is not something to be worried about and is normal within the trade. Agree on an acceptable form of payment before work starts and always get a receipt once the bill has been paid.
Before any work commences make sure your gardener is clear about what needs to be done and has a plan of action to complete it. The layout of your garden is something any decent gardener will be able to help you with, they will know which plants perform best where, don't be scared to ask for guidance. If there is going to be a lot of waste produced by your gardener, double check they he/she will take it away afterwards.
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. Considerations like this will always be appreciated and will often result in a better standard of work. 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. 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.
