Finding a Gardener in Dunley: If you cannot spare the time to tackle your tired and dreary garden, you should not be reluctant to bring in some outside help to knock it back into shape. Now, you should be looking for the "right" kind of help in the shape of a professional gardener rather than the "bloke down the road" who puts his hand to anything. Whilst a professional gardener might not necessarily have qualifications he/she will likely know considerably more than that "chap down the road".
It is not too much to ask that any gardener treats your garden, plants and contents with a degree of respect. Thus, your primary goal ought to be to find a gardener in the Dunley district who is known for doing a good job and is regarded as being dependable. When your garden features certain shrubs, plants and trees needing particular care, this will be even more essential. Don't settle for less than the best.
There is a seemingly endless list of jobs to be done in the garden, even if it is relatively small. More frequent visits will be necessary in the spring and summertime and maybe none at all during the wintertime. The list of the most common gardening jobs will come as no surprise and includes the likes of weeding, grass cutting, general tidying and trimming hedges. More involved tasks might include: waste clearance, fence repairs, cleaning driveways and laying patios.
Professional gardeners do not of course come cheap and while the "fella down the road" may be happy to charge £10 to £15 an hour, a figure of £20 per hour is more usual for professionals. Most Dunley gardeners will not want to do just one hours work. To make it worthwhile and to make an impression, gardeners normally like to put in two to three hours at a time. Bear in mind the fact that they have travelling time to and from your home, and they may need to visit the local dump to dispose or your garden waste.
Give short shrift to any Dunley gardener who expects to be paid up front before doing any work. Exceptions to this rule could be in respect of large projects such as patio laying where considerable amounts of materials are needed. It is not unusual for gardeners to ask for payment in cash, but only after the work is done. Irrespective of what kind of payment you agree with your gardener, always ask for a receipt as proof that he/she has been paid.
Giving a clear understanding of just what needs doing before work begins, will better help your gardener meet your expectations. 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. This garden waste can build up and at some point you are going to need to get rid of it.
Though usually a gardener will bring along a flask or bottle of water, it is nice to offer him/her a cup of tea while working hard on your garden. Such thoughfulness will be appreciated and should ensure that your gardener does the best job possible. By having a quick chat with your gardener every once in a while, you can pick up some tips while also building a friendly rapport. This does not mean you should pester them with constant wittering which will simply hinter them and slow down the work rate.
