Finding a Gardener in Falmouth: You shouldn't be afraid to ask for some assistance if your garden in Falmouth is in a bit of a mess and you don't really have the time to do it yourself. Should you hire a professional Falmouth gardener or the "geezer down the road" who does gardens cheap? 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 road" and will have a reputation to uphold.
Your garden is precious and you don't want it ruined by somebody who doesn't know how to appreciate it. So, try to find a local Falmouth gardener who is trustworthy and reliable. When your garden features certain shrubs, plants and trees needing particular care, this will be even more essential. 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. Spring is the busiest time with jobs needing to be done more frequently than during the rest of the year. Among the most common jobs needing to be done in Falmouth gardens are hedge trimming, general tidying, mowing lawns and weeding. It is unlikely that your gardener will refuse tasks such as garden fencing, driveway cleaning, laying patios and waste clearance.
Professional gardeners do not of course come cheap and while the "chap down the street" may be happy to charge £10 to £15 an hour, a figure of £20 per hour is more usual for professionals. Certainly for the first visit you should reckon on your gardener needing more than an hour to get the job done. Certain Falmouth gardeners will want 2 or more hours work each time they visit your garden. They have to allow for other things such as disposing of your garden waste at the local rubbish tip, unloading tools and equipment, and actually getting to and from your home.
Don't pay any Falmouth gardener in advance of the job being done, this is not the norm and they may disappear with your money. This rule may not apply with larger projects such as hard landscaping when payment of some money for materials is normal. After the completion of your garden it would not be at all uncommon for your gardener to ask to be paid in cash. Whether you pay by cash, cheque or card, insist on a receipt, this will prevent later disputes over payment.
Right from the start and before any work commences, ensure your gardener has a clear understanding of exactly what needs doing. Your gardener is there to help you, so if you have any doubts about plants or their positioning, ask for advice. Establish that all of the weeds, lawn trimmings and resulting waste will be removed, they don't all offer this service. Unless of course you have a compost heap and want to keep it for that.
Remember to keep the gardener supplied with drinks if you are around while the gardening is being done. These acts of kindness can go a long way and may even result in a better quality of job. So that you can forge a friendly relationship with your gardener it is often a nice idea to pop out for a chat now and again. This also helps you to gain some additional gardening knowhow and useful tips. But you should not hinder their work with endless talking, they may rush to catch up and not do the job properly.
Falmouth Garden Design
The average gardener working in the Falmouth area might not be up to the task of completely re-designing your garden. Not all gardeners who do routine maintenance will be skilled in the design area of gardening. Your gardener will soon let you know if he/she is confident about this branch of gardening. If worse comes to worst you might have to call on an expert.
Tree Surgery Falmouth
A lot of gardeners in Falmouth have some basic knowledge of trees along with plants, and they will often be happy to do some elementary tree surgery jobs when required. For minor pruning and trimming, your local Falmouth gardener should have all the necessary skills, but it is best to use the specialist services of a certified tree surgeon for any important work.
Larger trees can swiftly overgrow and cause problems for your house and any outbuildings. Additionally driveways, pathways, foundations and sewer lines can be irreversibly damaged by tree roots, therefore keeping a close eye on any trees that are growing on your land is crucial.
