Routine maintenance is the key with all gardens, whether small or large, with a seemingly endless list of jobs to do.

Professional gardeners do not of course come cheap and while the "chap down the street" may be happy to charge £10 to £15 an hour, a figure of £20 per hour is more usual for professionals. The average gardener in Distington will not be satisfied with doing your garden in one hour sessions. It's not uncommon for a gardener to request at least two hour minimum visit times. 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.

Any gardener who asks for payment in advance should raise your suspicions, you want to see results before forking out any money. Gardeners will often prefer to be paid in cash, although only once 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.

Giving a clear understanding of just what needs doing before work begins, will better help your gardener meet your expectations. Once your gardener starts you will have an expert at your fingertips, make the most of it and get plenty of advice and guidance. Check that your gardener will remove any waste such as lawn trimmings and branches, some do not. Give preference to gardeners who agree to take away all the garden waste.

It pays to be thoughtful and supplying your gardener with a drink or two will help his/her day along. You may be repaid for thoughtfulness like this by a better service and a happier gardener. 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. Don't overdo this though, because constant nattering will slow down the whole process and may put your gardener off returning.
