Finding a Gardener in Didcot: Calling in some outside help to get your bedraggled garden back into shape, isn't something to be ashamed of if you never seem to have enough time to do it yourself. So, you could contact the "guy down the road" who somebody told you about or alternatively get in touch with a professional Didcot gardener who will likely do a better job. While it isn't necessary to have qualifications to work as a gardener in Didcot, professional usually beat that "fellow down the road" hands down when it comes to gardening knowledge.
It is not too much to ask that any gardener treats your garden, plants and contents with a degree of respect. Therefore you should be careful that you choose a gardener in Didcot who can be relied upon. When your garden features certain shrubs, plants and trees needing particular care, this will be even more essential. Don't settle for any old gardener, get a decent 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. Such jobs require even more attention during spring and summer when rain and heat generates increased growth. Typically weeding, general tidying, lawn mowing and hedge cutting are the more common jobs that folk with gardens in Didcot need done. Tasks such as repairing fences, driveway cleaning, waste clearance and decking installation are other things that your gardener will probably help you with.
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 might be the case that your chosen gardener will need more than an hour to whip your garden into shape. You might find that your gardener will not be interested in visits of less than two hours. This isn't surprising when you appreciate that they have to get to and from your house, load/unload, and resposibly dispose of your waste at the local recycling centre.
Be cautious of anyone who demands payment for gardening services in advance. Paying a deposit for materials might be appropriate for bigger jobs like decking installation. When the gardener has finished working you may be asked for payment in cash, this is not at all unusual. No matter what form of payment you agree on, be sure to get a receipt so there are no arguments later on.
Make certain the gardener knows what your expectations are for your garden, job lists can help make everything clearer. It is nice to have an expert on hand to help whip your garden into shape, make sure you exploit their knowledge to the full. Establish that all of the weeds, lawn trimmings and resulting waste will be removed, they don't all offer this service. Being left with large quantities of garden waste is something that you need to avoid.
Spare a thought for your gardener toiling away on your property with no facilities at hand. Offer them the use of your toilet and perhaps provide a drink. Treating your gardener well could easily result in you getting some extra work done at no additional charge. It is useful to always have a friendly relationship with your gardener, so try to have regular chats with him/her, sharing ideas and opinions. Most gardeners will not however want you standing over them all day nattering.
Didcot Garden Design
If you have bigger plans for your garden and are thinking about a total re-design, you might need more than a run of the mill gardener. Certain Didcot gardeners welcome the challenge of designing but many are happier just to do your routine garden maintenance. Your gardener will soon let you know if he/she is confident about this branch of gardening. Otherwise it will simply be a case of finding a specialist in this field.
Tree Surgery Didcot
Many gardeners in Didcot will have some basic knowledge of trees as well as plants, and they will be happy to do a few elementary tree surgery tasks as required. Although for any major work it is best to use the specialist services of a qualified tree surgeon, for incidental pruning and cutting back, your neighbourhood Didcot gardener should have all the appropriate skills.
It isn't unusual for larger trees to overgrow and get out of hand, creating a hazard to utility lines or even your property. Tree roots could also do harm to driveways, footings, sewage lines and terraces, therefore you must always keep a keen eye on them. If you believe that these or other problems are being caused by trees in your garden in Didcot, have a word with your gardener first.
