Now you could call in a proper East Whitburn gardener or you could try the "fellow down the road". While it isn't necessary to have qualifications to work as a gardener in East Whitburn, professional usually beat that "chap down the street" hands down when it comes to gardening knowledge. If you don't know who to choose, keep reading.
Everyone likes their garden to be looked after properly and by a gardener who knows his/her stuff. Always be certain to get hold of a local East Whitburn gardener who can be counted on. This is especially important if you have trees and shrubs, which need proper care and attention. Don't allow a cowboy to ruin your garden, hire a decent one at the outset.
Whether your garden is large or small, there will always be jobs that need attending to on a routine basis. Such jobs require even more attention during spring and summer when rain and heat generates increased growth. Typical jobs that East Whitburn people need doing in their gardens include: general cleaning, trimming hedges, mowing lawns and weeding. It is unlikely that your gardener will refuse tasks such as laying patios, garden fencing, cleaning driveways and waste clearance.
Good gardeners don't come cheap, a professional gardener is likely to charge you £20 per hour or more, while that "bloke down the street" might do it for £10 to £12 per hour. You shouldn't expect too much from your gardener on his/her first visit, because gardening takes time and dependant on the amount of work that needs doing, several hours may be required. You might find that your gardener will not be interested in visits of less than two 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.
Any gardener who asks for payment in advance should raise your suspicions, you want to see results before forking out any money. Once the work is completed, it's not unusual for the gardener to ask for payment in cash rather than a cheque. Make sure that you get a receipt, no matter what type of payment you agree on, this will avoid arguments down the line.
Prior to work commencing give the gardener a clear picture of what you're expecting to be done. In order for you to get the most out of your gardener, you should always be willing to ask for advice and help. It is always a good idea to check if your gardener includes the removal of waste in his/her service, this is not always the case. Give preference to gardeners who agree to take away all the garden waste.
Remember to keep the gardener supplied with drinks if you are around while the gardening is being done. Treating your gardener well could easily result in you getting some extra work done at no additional charge. In order to benefit from his/her knowledge and to keep a friendly rapport going, pop out for a chat now and again. You should not however take this to the extreme, and stand there chattering all day long, which will only hold up your gardener and make the job take longer.
Tree Surgery East Whitburn
If necessary, some gardeners in East Whitburn will be willing to do some basic tree surgery, as the vast majority of them will have at least an elementary knowledge of plants and trees. Whilst for any important work it is advisable to use the specialist services of a trained tree surgeon, for minor trimming and pruning, your local East Whitburn gardener should have the required skills.
Larger trees can quite easily become overgrown and cause problems for your house and nearby power cables. Additionally terraces, foundations, drives and sewage lines can be irreparably damaged by tree roots, therefore keeping a keen eye on any trees that are on your land is very important.
