It is tempting to call on the "chap down the street" who helps out your neighbour, or you could actually bring in a proper East Grinstead gardener. 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 street" and will have a reputation to uphold.

It is likely that your gardener will also help you with laying patios, fence repairs, cleaning driveways and waste clearance.

The average gardener in East Grinstead will not be satisfied with doing your garden in one hour sessions. Visits spanning 2 to 3 hours are about the average for East Grinstead gardeners.

Any gardener who asks for payment in advance should raise your suspicions, you want to see results before forking out any money. However, you might expect to pay a deposit for large jobs such as fencing or decking. Once the work is completed, it's not unusual for the gardener to ask for payment in cash rather than a cheque. Whatever kind of payment you and your gardener agree on, get a receipt to avoid later arguments.

It isn't always easy for you to know which plants will grow best in your garden, the advice of your gardener will be invaluable. Not every gardener is prepared to remove all the green waste, it would pay you to verify that yours is happy to do this.
