Finding a Gardener in Great Barford: When your Great Barford garden starts looking rather droopy and under the weather, it is either time to get your gardening togs on or time to call in some expert help. That help should come in the shape of a professional Great Barford gardener with a bit of experience, and not the "bloke down the street" who knocks on your door and offers to jet wash your patio. It is the job of any self-respecting gardener in Great Barford 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. The choice is yours at the end of the day.
You do not want your precious garden to be spoilt by someone who doesn't have to knowledge to look after it properly. So make sure you find a gardener in Great Barford who you can trust to do a good job. This will be even more critical for those of you with trees and shrubs in your garden. Find yourself a decent Great Barford gardener, not just any bloke who knocks on your door.
The jobs that need doing on a routine basis are much the same with both large and small gardens in Great Barford. In spring and summer you should organise more frequent gardener visits as the jobs that need doing increase. As a rule weeding, lawn mowing, general tidying and trimming hedges are the typical gardening jobs that need doing on a regular basis. Tasks such as waste clearance, cleaning driveways, decking installation and garden fencing are other things that your gardener will probably help you with.
Experienced gardeners don't come cheap and if you are being charged around £20 per hour, that is about average. You shouldn't expect too much from your gardener on his/her first visit, because gardening takes time and dependant on the amount of work that needs doing, several hours may be required. It's not uncommon for a gardener to request at least two hour minimum visit times. They have to allow for other things such as disposing of your garden waste at the local rubbish tip, unloading tools and equipment, and actually getting to and from your home.
Asking for money up front is not normal for gardeners (unlike builders), so be extra careful if they do. Many Great Barford gardeners favour payment in cash, very few will take cards, they will only ask after you have approved their work. Make sure that you get a receipt, no matter what type of payment you agree on, this will avoid arguments down the line.
Before work starts prepare a plan of expected tasks with the gardener, this will help them to live up to your expectations. Planning out exactly what goes where in your garden is important, the help and guidance of your gardener will help you to get it right. If there is going to be a lot of waste produced by your gardener, double check they he/she will take it away afterwards.
It is customary to offer your gardener a hot or cold drink, though many bring their own refreshments. Keeping a gardener "sweet" with little acts of kindness like this may be repaid by increased efforts on their part. Pop out for a chat with your gardener from time to time so you can benefit from their ideas and keep a friendly rapport. Having said that, don't hold your gardener up by wittering on all day and preventing him/her from getting on with the job.
