Finding a Gardener in Great Linford: Sorting out a dreary and overgrown garden is not everyone's cup of tea, so if you find yourself in this situation you should not be afraid to ask for some outside assistance. Now, you might be tempted to bring in the "geezer down the road" who you have heard does some gardening, or more sensibly contact a proper Great Linford gardener. Whilst even professional Great Linford gardeners don't always have formal qualifications, they can usually be relied upon to have more horticultural knowledge than any "fellow down the road" is apt to have. Ultimately, you will have to choose what is best for your garden.
If you cherish your garden you will want a gardener with some savvy, who appreciates what you have and looks after it correctly. Make sure you locate a dependable Great Linford gardener who'll do a real good job. If you've got trees, plants and shrubs needing special attention, this will become more important still. Don't get stuck with rogues and cowboys, hire a proper gardener.
Gardens are all about routine maintenance, with jobs to be done fortnightly or monthly, even with smaller gardens. It is essential to get these jobs done even more frequently when spring and then summer arrives. In general general cleaning, weeding, hedge pruning and lawn mowing are the common jobs that people in Great Linford need doing in their gardens. The majority of Great Linford gardeners will also be more than happy to deal with bigger tasks like waste removal, laying patios, driveway cleaning and fence repairs.
Professional gardeners do not of course come cheap and while the "bloke down the road" may be happy to charge £10 to £15 an hour, a figure of £20 per hour is more usual for professionals. It is unlikely that any gardener will be able to achieve very much in just one hour. 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.
Avoid any "gardener" who demands money up front, no trustworthy Great Linford gardener will expect this. Exceptions can be made when large jobs like landscaping are involved, some money up front might then be appropriate. It is quite normal for a gardener to request cash payment, rather than card or cheque, so make sure you have some to hand. You don't want any arguments about payment in the future, so be sure to get a receipt.
Be transparent about your requirements before any work begins, give the gardener a rota of tasks that you would like to be done. The layout of your garden is something any decent gardener will be able to help you with, they will know which plants perform best where, don't be scared to ask for guidance. If there is going to be a lot of waste produced by your gardener, double check they he/she will take it away afterwards.
If you are at home while the gardening is being done, keep your gardener supplied with drinks. Acts of kindness such as this will make your gardener feel appreciated and he or she will work all the harder for it. Having regular discussions with your gardener helps you to keep abreast of the latest ideas, and also develop a friendly relationship. It is not however a good idea to pester them constantly which will have the effect of annoying them and slowing the work down.
