Finding a Gardener in Great Barton: Bringing in some outside assistance to knock a tired and bedraggled garden back into shape is something many busy people have to do these days, especially after a long and blustery winter. So, you could contact the "fella down the street" who somebody told you about or alternatively get in touch with a professional Great Barton gardener who will likely do a better job. The chances are that "chap down the road" will not have much gardening knowledge, while the professional garder will probably have horticultural qualifications. Ultimately, you will have to choose what is best for your garden.
It is never a good idea to have somebody looking after your garden who doesn't know what they're doing. Always ensure that you locate a gardener in Great Barton who you can rely on to do a nice job. If you've got trees, plants and shrubs needing special attention, this will become more important still. You shouldn't take any chances, hire the best gardener you can afford.
The thing with gardens is that the jobs that need doing are routine, the same things need doing perhaps weekly, fortnightly or monthly. As you can imagine the need for this regular maintenance is more necessary in spring and summer. As a rule weeding, lawn mowing, general cleaning and trimming hedges are the typical gardening jobs that need doing on a regular basis. Most decent gardeners in Great Barton will tackle other jobs such as repairing fences, patio installation, driveway cleaning and waste removal.
Expect to shell out something like £20 per hour for hiring the expertise of a professional gardener, the "chap down the road" will be a bit cheaper. Generally a professional gardener will want to spend more than one hour on your garden. In order for them to do all the neccessary work they may need to put in at least two or three hours. Don't forget, they have to get to and from your location, they have to unload and load their van and they may have to dispose of your waste which could mean a trip to the local tip.
Asking for money up front is not normal for gardeners (unlike builders), so be extra careful if they do. Many Great Barton 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.
A list of required tasks will help your gardener to plan his/her day, clearly lay out you exact requirements at the start. Most gardeners will be happy to offer guidance and advice on various aspects of gardening, make use of this help whenever you can. Grass cuttings and hedge clippings can be a pain to get rid of, so make certain that your gardener includes the disposal of these as part of the service. Give preference to gardeners who agree to take away all the garden waste.
Gardening is thirsty work, so don't forget to make a hot or cold drink for your gardener to keep his/her spirits up. This is always appreciated by gardeners and they will repay you by doing an extra fine job. Having a friendly rapport with your gardener is also important, so chat with them on a regular basis, discuss plans and bounce ideas off each other. As with most things in life, moderation is the key. Keep chats short and to the point so that they can get on with what they are there for.
Garden Clearance Great Barton
While many gardeners will be able to do a limited amount of garden clearance in Great Barton, a lot of them will not hold a "Waste Carriers Licence", and will subsequently be restricted in the quantity and kind of waste they can carry. If you've got a local council green waste bin (you generally pay extra for these), you may be able to dispose of most of it bit by bit, if the volumes of waste are only modest.
You will probably need to get in touch with an authorised garden clearance specialist, if like a lot of people in Great Barton, you've got a garden that is piled up with all manner of trash, and not merely "green" waste. You could also think about renting a mini-skip if you have a largish amount of junk in your garden. In addition to your garden waste, this would maybe also permit you to clear out your shed, your garage and even your attic, if they're full of clutter too.
