Finding a Gardener in Grampound: When your beloved garden in Grampound is looking somewhat tatty and overgrown you will have to decide whether to put aside a few hours to do it yourself or take the lazy option and pay someone else to do it for you. Though there are a number of people in Grampound offering gardening services, not all are necessarily suitable to be let loose on your prized garden. 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 street" and will have a reputation to uphold. The choice is yours at the end of the day.
You need your cherished garden to be given a degree of respect by whoever is looking after it. So, finding a trustworthy and reliable Grampound gardener is something you should take care in doing. With gardens containing bushes, plants and trees requiring expert attention, getting the right gardener is even more critical. Don't settle for less than the best.
Large and small gardens alike need routine maintenance with various jobs that need attending to. Gardener visits will generally need to be more regular in spring and summer, with jobs being done more frequently. Typical jobs that folk with gardens in Grampound require are general cleaning, hedge trimming, grass cutting and weeding. Many gardeners will also be happy to take care of jobs like waste clearance, driveway cleaning, garden fencing and laying patios
When hiring a professional gardener you are paying for his/her expertise, so expect to pay in the region of £20 for each hour worked. 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. This is not excessive if you consider that they have to drive to your house and back and might need to take your waste to the local rubbish tip, which could be miles away.
Asking for money up front is not normal for gardeners (unlike builders), so be extra careful if they do. An exception can be made when a big project like patio laying is involved, and lots of materials have to be purchased. Of course gardeners often ask for payment in cash after the work is completed. No matter what form of payment you agree on, be sure to get a receipt so there are no arguments later on.
Be clear about your expectations from the very beginning, prepare a list of work you need doing. In order for you to get the most out of your gardener, you should always be willing to ask for advice and help. Check that your gardener will remove any waste such as lawn trimmings and branches, some do not. Being lumbered with a big pile of garden waste is not a good idea.
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. You may be repaid for thoughtfulness like this by a better service and a happier gardener. Engage in some conversation with your gardener whenever you get the chance so that you can build a friendly relationship and benefit from their knowledge and ideas. Having said that, don't hold your gardener up by wittering on all day and preventing him/her from getting on with the job.
