Finding a Gardener in Dean: You should never be ashamed to ask for assistance if your Dean garden is a bit lacklustre and you simply cannot find the time to tackle it yourself. Think carefully before you hire someone because lots of people in Dean do gardening, some are professional gardeners and some just dabble. Whilst formal qualifications are not a requirement for gardeners, a professional is likely to have a wider range of knowledge than that "geezer down the road" and will have a reputation to uphold.
Everyone likes their garden to be looked after properly and by a gardener who knows his/her stuff. So, finding a trustworthy and reliable Dean gardener is something you should take care in doing. The importance of this cannot be stressed enough, when certain shrubs and trees are involved. Don't put up with "rogue trader" gardeners, choose a dependable one.
The routine jobs which need doing in the garden are likely to be much the same regardless whether your garden is small or big. The warmth of spring and summer increases the frequency with which these jobs need to be done. The commonest gardening jobs that folk in Dean need doing are weeding, general cleaning, trimming hedges and lawn mowing. Other jobs like garden fencing, waste removal, decking installation and driveway cleaning are also within most gardeners remit.
Don't expect to get a decent gardener for peanuts, while that "geezer down the street" might only ask for £10 to £12 per hour, you're unlikely to get a professional for much less than £20 an hour. 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. To make it worthwhile and to make an impression, gardeners normally like to put in two to three hours at a time. Remember, they have to travel to and from your house, and maybe also get to the tip with your rubbish.
If a gardener asks for payment up front you should be very wary, as this is not normal practice. Don't be surprised if your gardener asks for cash payment, this isn't unusual, but of course only when the work is finished. To avoid any arguments later on, make sure you get a receipt no matter what kind of payment you agree on.
A list of required tasks will help your gardener to plan his/her day, clearly lay out you exact requirements at the start. Your gardener is there to help you, so if you have any doubts about plants or their positioning, ask for advice. Gardening tends to generate a lot of waste, so verify that your gardener is going to dispose of this when they are finished. You really do not want to be stuck with a huge mound of garden waste that is difficult to dispose of.
Gardening is thirsty work, so don't forget to make a hot or cold drink for your gardener to keep his/her spirits up. Keeping a gardener "sweet" with little acts of kindness like this may be repaid by increased efforts on their part. In order to build a friendly rapport with your gardener and to pick their brains for gardening tips, go out for a natter from time to time. Having said that, don't hold your gardener up by wittering on all day and preventing him/her from getting on with the job.
