Finding a Gardener in Ellington: Bringing in some outside assistance to knock a tired and bedraggled garden back into shape is something many busy people have to do these days, especially after a long and blustery winter. Now, some people in Ellington opt for the "bloke down the road" who can put his hand to anything, while others choose a professional gardener with an established reputation. The problem is that "geezer down the road" will probably know very little about gardening, whereas a professional will have a wide spectrum of knowledge.
It is not too much to ask that any gardener treats your garden, plants and contents with a degree of respect. Therefore you must find a gardener in Ellington who can be depended upon to do a fine job. Some plants and trees need special care, in which case this is even more important. Don't settle for less than the best.
The routine jobs which need doing in the garden are likely to be much the same regardless whether your garden is small or big. Such jobs require even more attention during spring and summer when rain and heat generates increased growth. The more commonly required jobs that need doing in Ellington gardens are weeding, general tidying, mowing lawns and hedge cutting. Jobs like decking installation, driveway cleaning, fence repairs and waste clearance are also something most Ellington gardeners will tackle.
Decent gardeners will come at a premium, so don't expect them to work for peanuts. Charges generally start at approximately twenty pounds per hour. 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. For it to be worth their while, gardeners generally favour doing 2 or 3 hours at a stretch. This isn't surprising when you appreciate that they have to get to and from your house, load/unload, and resposibly dispose of your waste at the local recycling centre.
Be wary of "gardeners" who ask for payment in advance, no genuine Ellington gardener would do this. Once your garden is finished you should expect to be asked for payment in cash, because most gardeners prefer this. Whether you pay by card, cash or cheque, insist on a receipt, this will prevent later disputes over payment.
Let the gardener know about your precise expectations before any work begins. Always ask your gardener for advice, he or she will know exactly what plants are best suited to your garden conditions. Taking away all the garden waste such as hedge clippings and lawn trimmings may not be included in the service, therefore you should establish whether your gardener will do this or not. When they have done a good job of tidying your garden they should really take away the rubbish.
While most gardeners bring their own food and refreshments it doesn't hurt to ask if they would like a cup of tea or coffee while they are working. This type of kindness is always welcome and your gardener may show his/her gratitude by doing a great job on your garden. Wander out and have a chat with your gardener whenever the situation allows, this helps to develop a friendly connection and gives you the chance to share ideas. Constant interruptions should however be avoided.
