Finding a Gardener in Earl Shilton: When your beloved garden in Earl Shilton is looking somewhat tatty and overgrown you will have to decide whether to put aside a few hours to do it yourself or take the lazy option and pay someone else to do it for you. Now, you should be looking for the "right" kind of help in the shape of a professional gardener rather than the "fella down the street" who puts his hand to anything. While you don't need horticultural qualifications to be a gardener, most professional gardeners in the Earl Shilton area will have a lot more knowledge than that "fellow down the road" is likely to have.
Your beloved garden deserves to be treated with respect by someone who has pride in their work and the knowledge to do it properly. Therefore you should be careful that you choose a gardener in Earl Shilton who can be relied upon. It is important that your plants and trees are looked after correctly, even if they are mostly run of the mill. Get yourself a good gardener, don't just settle for any old one.
Even if your garden is relatively small, there are a handful of jobs which need attending to on a routine basis. Of course such jobs will be more regular during the spring and summer months. In general grass cutting, hedge trimming, general cleaning and weeding are the common jobs that people in Earl Shilton need doing in their gardens. Most Earl Shilton gardeners will also take on jobs like waste removal, driveway cleaning, fence repairs and patio installation.
Gardeners rates vary, but professionals will probably set you back around £20 per hour, with that "geezer down the road" accepting perhaps £10 or £12 for the same time period. One hours work is not enough to make much impression on your garden, so you should reckon on them needing to spend more time than this. It's not uncommon for a gardener to request at least two hour minimum visit times. Remember, they have to travel to and from your house, and maybe also get to the tip with your rubbish.
Trustworthy Earl Shilton gardeners will never ask for money in advance, so be distrustful of anybody who does. When the work has been completed to your satisfaction it would not be unusual for your gardener to ask for payment in cash. Insist on getting a receipt especially where cash is involved, this will avoid any disputes about unpaid work later on.
A list of required tasks will help your gardener to plan his/her day, clearly lay out you exact requirements at the start. In order for you to get the most out of your gardener, you should always be willing to ask for advice and help. Removing and disposing of lawn and hedge clippings isn't always part of the service so make sure that your gardener will do this for you.
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. A gardener will always be appreciative of such kindness and will work even harder to show this gratitude. Building a friendly relationship with your gardener is always a good idea, it enables you to soak up a little of their knowledge and ideas. Do not take this to the extreme however, and impede their work with constant babbling, they may become frustrated and not do a proper job.
