Finding a Gardener in Great Bentley: Even though you may enjoy doing the gardening you can sometimes get so behind that it becomes overgrown and a bit of a mess. This might be the right time to bring in someone else to help you. Now, you should be looking for the "right" kind of help in the shape of a professional gardener rather than the "chap down the street" who puts his hand to anything. Whilst even professional Great Bentley gardeners don't always have formal qualifications, they can usually be relied upon to have more horticultural knowledge than any "bloke down the street" is apt to have.
You want your prized garden to be treated with a certain level of respect by somebody who knows precisely what they're up to. Therefore you should take your time in finding a gardener in the Great Bentley area who can be trusted. When you have a garden containing trees and shrubs needing expert care, this is even more important. Retain the services of the best you can afford and don't take chances.
The thing with gardens is that the jobs that need doing are routine, the same things need doing perhaps weekly, fortnightly or monthly. Spring is the busiest time with jobs needing to be done more frequently than during the rest of the year. You'll not be surprised to learn that the most commonly requested gardening jobs are weeding, mowing lawns, general tidying and hedge trimming. Additional tasks like fence repairs, laying patios, waste clearance and driveway cleaning will also be within the capabilities of most experienced gardeners.
Good gardeners don't come cheap, a professional gardener is likely to charge you £20 per hour or more, while that "fellow down the road" might do it for £10 to £12 per hour. One hours work is not enough to make much impression on your garden, so you should reckon on them needing to spend more time than this. Most gardeners will have a minimum visit time of 2 hours. If you think that this is just to stretch the job out, think again. They have to travel to and from your home, they have to unload mowers and garden tools, and they will probably have to load your waste onto their trailer and take it to a nearby rubbish tip.
You should be suspicious of any gardener who demands payment in advance. Once your garden is finished you should expect to be asked for payment in cash, because most gardeners prefer this. Always insist on a receipt whether you pay by card, cheque or cash, proof of payment is important in case of any future arguments.
A list of required tasks will help your gardener to plan his/her day, clearly lay out you exact requirements at the start. Don't be afraid to ask for advice, your gardener is the best person to tell you which plants are best for your garden. Getting rid of your lawn trimmings and hedge clippings won't always be part of the service so ensure that in your case it is.
Working outdoors can be tough and thirsty work, so make sure that there is the offer of a cold or hot drink to help the day along. Acts of kindness such as this will make your gardener feel appreciated and he or she will work all the harder for it. In order to benefit from his/her knowledge and to keep a friendly rapport going, pop out for a chat now and again. Occasionally is the key word with this approach however, don't hold them up by standing over them and nattering all day long.
