Finding a Gardener in Godshill: If you have a garden that is looking tired and overgrown, the time has come to get it back in shape. If you are too busy or too idle to do it yourself you are going to have to call in some help. When you take the plunge and do this, be careful who you choose. Do you call the "chap down the road" or an established local Godshill gardener? Although there is no guarantee that a professional gardener will have any recognised horticultural qualifications, he/she will almost certainly have a great deal more gardening knowledge than that "guy down the street" is going to have. You will have to decide what is best for your situation.
If you cherish your garden you will want a gardener with some savvy, who appreciates what you have and looks after it correctly. Therefore you must find a gardener in Godshill who can be depended upon to do a fine 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. Don't settle for second best, get a professional gardener.
The thing about gardening is that there are always jobs that need doing routinely, even on small gardens. These repeat jobs will have to be done a lot more often in springtime and summer, dying off to nothing by winter. Typical jobs that Godshill people need doing in their gardens include: hedge trimming, weeding, general tidying and mowing lawns. It is unlikely that your gardener will refuse tasks such as driveway cleaning, patio installation, garden fencing and waste removal.
Experienced gardeners don't come cheap and if you are being charged around £20 per hour, that is about average. It would be unfair to expect any gardener to whip your garden into shape in just a single hour, so count on it taking longer than this. It would not be that unusual for a gardener to have a minimum visit time of 2 to 3 hours. Bear in mind the fact that they have travelling time to and from your home, and they may need to visit the local dump to dispose or your garden waste.
Be wary of "gardeners" who ask for payment in advance, no genuine Godshill gardener would do this. Large projects like landscaping would be an exception to this rule, when a deposit for materials will be requested. It is quite normal for a gardener to request cash payment, rather than card or cheque, so make sure you have some to hand. Agree on an acceptable form of payment before work starts and always get a receipt once the bill has been paid.
Before work starts prepare a plan of expected tasks with the gardener, this will help them to live up to your expectations. Your gardener is there to help you, so if you have any doubts about plants or their positioning, ask for advice. Check that your gardener will remove any waste such as lawn trimmings and branches, some do not.
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. Considerations like this will always be appreciated and will often result in a better standard of work. It helps to keep things friendly, so popping out for a chat every now and again will help to do this and also give you the chance to get some tips from your gardener. This is not to say you should stand there all day gabbing, this will merely hinder your gardener and stop him/her from doing their job.
Tree Surgery Godshill
A lot of gardeners in Godshill have a reasonable knowledge of trees as well as plants and shrubs, and they'll be delighted to do some essential tree surgery jobs if necessary. Although for any important work it is preferable to use the expert services of a certified tree surgeon, for incidental pruning and trimming, your neighbourhood Godshill gardener should have all the appropriate skills.
Tree damage to property and power cables is not at all unheard of, and this can rapidly happen if trees are allowed to become overgrown. Additionally sewer lines, patios, footings and drives can be irreversibly damaged by tree roots, so keeping a close eye on any trees that are on your land is a no brainer. If you have suspicions that any of the trees on your property in Godshill are causing problems, have a word with your gardener first, because they'll probably be able to help.

Garden Clearance Godshill
Although most gardeners will be prepared to do a limited amount of garden clearance in Godshill, many of them will not have a "Waste Carrier's Licence", and will consequently be constrained in the volume of waste they are able to take. If the amount of waste are small they may be able to get rid of a lot of it using your council garden waste bin (if you have one).
Of course, a lot of gardens in Godshill are piled up with all kinds of trash, and not only "green" waste, so for this form of task you'll probably need to call a registered Godshill garden clearance specialist. You might also think about renting a mini-skip if you have a significant amount of junk in your garden. This will permit you to ditch not just garden waste, but maybe also clear out your shed, your garage and perhaps even you loft space.
Essentially lawn trimmings, dead flowers, tree branches, topsoil, logs, shrubs, roots, turf, twigs and hedge clippings, will be thought of as "green" waste.
