Finding a Gardener in Four Crosses: If you cannot spare the time to tackle your tired and dreary garden, you should not be reluctant to bring in some outside help to knock it back into shape. Now you could call in a proper Four Crosses gardener or you could try the "chap down the road". While it isn't necessary to have qualifications to work as a gardener in Four Crosses, professional usually beat that "fella down the road" hands down when it comes to gardening knowledge. You will need to decide which gardener is most suitable for your requirements.
It is never a good idea to have somebody looking after your garden who doesn't know what they're doing. Always be certain to get hold of a local Four Crosses gardener who can be counted on. With gardens containing bushes, plants and trees requiring expert attention, getting the right gardener is even more critical. Take your time and get a proper Four Crosses gardener.
There is a seemingly endless list of jobs to be done in the garden, even if it is relatively small. More frequent visits will be necessary in the spring and summertime and maybe none at all during the wintertime. The more commonly required jobs that need doing in Four Crosses gardens are weeding, trimming hedges, general tidying and mowing lawns. Additional tasks like repairing fences, decking installation, cleaning driveways and waste removal will also be within the capabilities of most experienced gardeners.
Professional gardeners do not of course come cheap and while the "guy down the street" may be happy to charge £10 to £15 an hour, a figure of £20 per hour is more usual for professionals. It might be the case that your chosen gardener will need more than an hour to whip your garden into shape. Most will want to put in at least 2 to 3 hours at a time to make it worth their while. If you think that this is just to stretch the job out, think again. They have to travel to and from your home, they have to unload mowers and garden tools, and they will probably have to load your waste onto their trailer and take it to a nearby rubbish tip.
Be cautious of anyone who demands payment for gardening services in advance. Exceptions can be made when large jobs like fencing or decking are involved, some money up front might then be appropriate. It is quite normal for a gardener to request cash payment, rather than card or cheque, so make sure you have some to hand. Make sure that you get a receipt, no matter what type of payment you agree on, this will avoid arguments down the line.
Make sure your gardener is clear about your requirements, give him/her a list of jobs before they begin. Don't be afraid to ask for advice, your gardener is the best person to tell you which plants are best for your garden. Ensure that the gardener will take away lawn cuttings, weeds and twigs afterwards, not all do this. You want to avoid being left with large quantities of garden waste that you cannot get shot of.
It never hurts to be polite to those working on your property, therefore you should always offer them a drink. Treating your gardener well could easily result in you getting some extra work done at no additional charge. Don't be afraid to wander out and have a chat with your gardener when circumstances permit, this will help build a friendly connection with the gardener and encourage a sharing of ideas. 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.
