Finding a Gardener in Downe: You should never be ashamed to ask for assistance if your Downe garden is a bit lacklustre and you simply cannot find the time to tackle it yourself. Now you could call in a proper Downe gardener or you could try the "chap down the road". Whilst even professional Downe gardeners don't always have formal qualifications, they can usually be relied upon to have more horticultural knowledge than any "fella down the road" is apt to have.
You certainly want a gardener who will treat your garden with respect and not cause it any harm or damage. Always ensure that you locate a gardener in Downe who you can rely on to do a nice job. Some plants and trees need special care, in which case this is even more important. Don't settle for less than the best.
Gardens are all about routine maintenance, with jobs to be done fortnightly or monthly, even with smaller gardens. More frequent visits will be necessary in the spring and summertime and maybe none at all during the wintertime. People with gardens in Downe most often want jobs done like general cleaning, lawn mowing, weeding and hedge pruning. The majority of Downe gardeners will also be more than happy to deal with bigger tasks like patio installation, garden fencing, waste clearance and driveway cleaning.
An hourly rate of around £20 is what you should expect to pay for a decent gardener. Don't expect miracles, especially on the first session, and count on it taking more than a single hour for your gardener to make much difference to the look of your garden. It would not be that unusual for a gardener to have a minimum visit time of 2 to 3 hours. Don't forget, they have to get to and from your location, they have to unload and load their van and they may have to dispose of your waste which could mean a trip to the local tip.
Be extremely suspicious of any Downe gardener who requests money up front before doing the job. However this could legitimately happen with bigger jobs like landscaping where money for materials is required. Many Downe gardeners favour payment in cash, very few will take cards, they will only ask after you have approved their work. Remember to get a receipt whether you pay the gardener by cash, cheque or card, this negates later disputes.
Right from the start and before any work commences, ensure your gardener has a clear understanding of exactly what needs doing. Your gardener will be there to give you advice and guidance on any aspect of your garden, so make the most of his/her knowledge. The removal of the waste that has been generated isn't something that all gardeners are prepared to do, make sure that yours does. It is unfair to leave you with piles of garden waste.
Remember to keep the gardener supplied with drinks if you are around while the gardening is being done. Such thoughfulness will be appreciated and should ensure that your gardener does the best job possible. Go out and talk to your gardener now and again to keep a friendly rapport going and also to pick their brains. Don't stand there all day twittering on however, which only results in a frustrated gardener and an incomplete garden.
Garden Design Downe
When you want a complete change, you might think about re-designing your garden altogether. This may require the expertise of a specialist Downe garden designer. It is not always easy to find the right person for this type of project. Find out if your gardener has a history of garden design and can show you a portfolio. It could be that in the end you need to contact an expert.
Garden Clearance Downe
If you permit "green" waste and general junk to accumulate in your garden, a time will arrive when you'll need to bring in a garden clearance service. A few Downe gardeners will be happy to do this, but unless they've got a Waste Carriers Licence, they will be restricted on the amount and kind of waste they can take. If the amount of waste are small you may be able to get rid of most of it using your local council green waste bin (if you've got one).
You will most likely need to bring in a certified garden clearance specialist, if like many other property owners in Downe, you've got a garden which is piled up with all manner of garbage, and not just "green" waste. You could always consider hiring a mini-skip if you've got a largish amount of rubbish in your garden. Taking this approach will enable you to perhaps clear out your shed, your garage and possibly even your loft, in addition to your garden waste.
Generally bushes, twigs, plants, logs, topsoil, roots, pruned branches, lawn trimmings, turf and hedge clippings, will be regarded as "green" waste. (Tags: Garden Clearance Downe, Waste Removal Downe, Garden Clearances Downe).
