Finding a Gardener in Forest Row: Nobody likes to see their garden looking a little the worse for wear, so fetching in some outside help is always a possibility if you can't find the time to spare. It's often easy to just bring in the "fella down the road" who does odd jobs and gardening on the side, but think carefully, would a proper gardener be a better choice? The chances are that "fellow down the street" will not have much gardening knowledge, while the professional garder will probably have horticultural qualifications. Perhaps this article will help you make your choice.
It should certainly go without saying that any gardener you hire should be informed enough to care for your garden and the contents within it. So, your main objective must be to find a trustworthy Forest Row gardener who has a reputation for doing an excellent job. You will come to realise that this is even more important when you've got trees and shrubs needing a higher level of care. Avoid settling for any old chancer, find yourself a decent gardener.
Whether your garden is large or small, there will always be jobs that need attending to on a routine basis. It goes without saying that regular garden maintenance is needed more frequently during the spring and summer months with a decline in the winter. The more commonplace place tasks that need doing in Forest Row gardens are likely to be weeding, grass cutting, general tidying and hedge trimming. More involved tasks might include: driveway cleaning, repairing fences, laying patios and waste clearance.
Who you hire may be dependent on your budget and whilst that "geezer down the road" might only charge you £10 to £15 per hour, a seasoned professional is going to set you back nearer to £20 for an hours gardening. One hour in your garden is not very much and the average gardener will need to spend more time than that to get much done. It is often not worth their while to do much less than two hours gardening at a time. Getting to and from your house, unloading and re-loading tools and equipment, and transporting your garden waste to the local tip are all factors that they have to consider before taking on a gardening job.
You should be suspicious of any gardener who demands payment in advance. Of course gardeners often ask for payment in cash after the work is completed. Always insist on a receipt whether you pay by cash, card or cheque, proof of payment is important in case of any future arguments.
Be clear what your requirements are before the gardener begins work, have a list of jobs that need doing. 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. Grass cuttings and hedge clippings can be a pain to get rid of, so make certain that your gardener includes the disposal of these as part of the service.
Gardening is thirsty work, so don't forget to make a hot or cold drink for your gardener to keep his/her spirits up. You can expect your gardener to very much appreciate gestures like this and to repay you with increased output. 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. Don't overdo this though, because constant nattering will slow down the whole process and may put your gardener off returning.
