Finding a Gardener in Dolton: 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. It is generally advisable to opt for a professional Dolton gardener, as opposed to the "fella down the road" who does a bit of gardening. Whilst formal qualifications are not a requirement for gardeners, a professional is likely to have a wider range of knowledge than that "bloke down the road" and will have a reputation to uphold.
It is not too much to ask that any gardener treats your garden, plants and contents with a degree of respect. This means that finding a local Dolton gardener who does a good job and can be trusted should be your aim. This will be even more critical for those of you with trees and shrubs in your garden. Get a dependable Dolton gardener, not a "rogue trader".
Those monthly, fortnightly or even weekly gardening jobs are often necessary even if your garden is small. The frequency of visits by your gardener will increase throughout the spring and summer and may not be necessary at all in winter. You'll not be surprised to learn that the most commonly requested gardening jobs are weeding, general tidying, mowing lawns and hedge trimming. Tasks such as laying patios, driveway cleaning, fence repairs and waste removal are other things that your gardener will probably help you with.
Don't expect to get a decent gardener for peanuts, while that "chap 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. One hour in your garden is not very much and the average gardener will need to spend more time than that to get much done. It's possible that your gardener will not be prepared to work for periods of less than 2 hours or more. Getting to and from your house, unloading and re-loading tools and equipment, and transporting your garden waste to the local tip are all factors that they have to consider before taking on a gardening job.
Trustworthy Dolton gardeners will never ask for money in advance, so be distrustful of anybody who does. Having said that, a deposit for materials may be required for bigger projects like landscaping. It is not unusual for gardeners to ask for payment in cash, but only after the work is done. No matter what form of payment you agree on, be sure to get a receipt so there are no arguments later on.
Before work starts prepare a plan of expected tasks with the gardener, this will help them to live up to your expectations. Getting the full benefit of your gardeners expertise is something you should always seek to do. Establish that all of the weeds, lawn trimmings and resulting waste will be removed, they don't all offer this service.
Gardeners are used to providing their own refreshments, but this shouldn't stop you from offering them a cup of tea or even a cold drink on a hot summer's day. Acts of kindness such as this will make your gardener feel appreciated and he or she will work all the harder for it. So that you can forge a friendly relationship with your gardener it is often a nice idea to pop out for a chat now and again. This also helps you to gain some additional gardening knowhow and useful tips. However, don't follow them around all day, generally getting in their way and bombarding them with constant questions.
Tree Surgery Dolton
Plenty of gardeners in Dolton will have some knowledge of trees in addition to other plants, and they'll be happy to do a few essential tree surgery tasks if needed.

Larger trees can very easily overgrow and cause hazards for your home and any outbuildings.
