Finding a Gardener in Glen Parva: 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 should be looking for the "right" kind of help in the shape of a professional gardener rather than the "geezer down the street" who puts his hand to anything. It is the job of any self-respecting gardener in Glen Parva to have the necessary knowledge to look after your garden, while that "bloke down the road" is just in it for a few bob on the side.
Gardeners who know their stuff will have respect for your garden and treat it much as they would their own. Always ensure that you locate a gardener in Glen Parva who you can rely on to do a nice job. This is particularly crucial when your garden contains shrubs and trees which require special attention. Hire a professional gardener and never settle for second best.
Small gardens need routine attention just like larger ones and the jobs may be much the same but on a smaller scale. Such routine jobs will need attention more frequently at certain times of the year, in particular spring and summer. Typically people with gardens in Glen Parva need jobs done like weeding, hedge trimming, general tidying and lawn mowing. Other jobs like driveway cleaning, waste clearance, laying patios and repairing fences are also within most gardeners remit.
An hourly rate of around £20 is what you should expect to pay for a decent gardener. 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. Most will want to put in at least 2 to 3 hours at a time to make it worth their while. This is to allow for travel, unloading tools and waste disposal.
You should never expect to have to pay any gardener in advance. Exceptions to this rule could be in respect of large projects such as decking installation where considerable amounts of materials are needed. It isn't uncommon for a gardener to ask to be paid in cash, though only after the gardening work is completed to your satisfaction. You don't want any arguments about payment in the future, so be sure to get a receipt.
Giving a clear understanding of just what needs doing before work begins, will better help your gardener meet your expectations. Your gardener is there to help you, so if you have any doubts about plants or their positioning, ask for advice. Make sure that all twigs, weeds and lawn cuttings will be removed and disposed of afterwards, certain gardeners don't do this. This garden waste can build up and at some point you are going to need to get rid of it.
Remember to keep the gardener supplied with drinks if you are around while the gardening is being done. Gardeners are appreciative of gestures like this and will no doubt reward you by doing the best possible job. Pop out for a chat with your gardener from time to time so you can benefit from their ideas and keep a friendly rapport. Don't overdo this though, because constant nattering will slow down the whole process and may put your gardener off returning.
Glen Parva Garden Design
When it comes to the re-designing of gardens it can pay to find a person who specialises in this area of horticulture. For many Glen Parva gardeners the routine tasks are their bread and butter and they prefer to stick to what they know best. Find out if this aspect of gardening is something that your gardener is comfortable with. You might find that in the end you have to call in a specialist.
Tree Surgery Glen Parva
If needed, some of the better gardeners in Glen Parva will be quite willing to do some basic tree surgery, as most of them will have at least a reasonable knowledge of trees and plants. Although your local Glen Parva gardener should have the vital skills to handle cutting back and pruning, for any major work it is advisable to use the specialist services of a trained tree surgeon.
Trees can rapidly overgrow and cause hazards for your house and outbuildings. You must keep a watchful eye on any trees that are on your land, because the roots can also damage driveways, patio areas, footings and sewage pipework. If you have suspicions that these or other problems are being triggered by any of the trees in your garden in Glen Parva, you should have a word with your gardener first for advice.
Garden Clearance Glen Parva
Although some gardeners will be prepared to do a certain amount of garden clearance in Glen Parva, the vast majority of them won't hold a "Waste Carriers Licence", and will therefore be constrained in the quantity of waste they can take. If you've got access to a local council garden waste bin (you normally have to pay extra for this), you might be able to dispose of the majority of it bit by bit, if the quantities of waste are only small.
Clearly, many gardens in Glen Parva are stacked up with all kinds of garbage, and not just green waste, so for this type of project you will possibly have to contact an authorised Glen Parva garden clearance specialist. You could also consider hiring a mini-skip if you've got a substantial amount of waste in your garden. Adopting this route will allow you to maybe have a clear out in your shed, your garage and perhaps even your loft, in addition to your garden waste.
Generally shrubs, twigs, lawn trimmings, turf, logs, pruned branches, hedge clippings, plants, dirt and sawdust, would be viewed as "green" waste.
