So, your aim should be to find a gardener in the Great Lumley area who can be trusted to do a good job on your garden. When your garden features certain shrubs, plants and trees needing particular care, this will be even more essential. Don't make do with any Tom, Dick or Harry, get yourself a decent gardener.
The thing with gardens is that the jobs that need doing are routine, the same things need doing perhaps weekly, fortnightly or monthly. You will need to book in more regular visits by your gardener in the spring and summer as these jobs pile up. The list of the most common gardening jobs will come as no surprise and includes the likes of lawn mowing, weeding, hedge cutting and general tidying. Bigger tasks such as waste removal, garden fencing, driveway cleaning and decking installation can also be handled by the majority of gardeners.
Decent gardeners do not come cheap, the "guy down the road" might do your gardening for £10 or £12 an hour, but a professional will probably charge nearer to £20 per hour. One hour in your garden is not very much and the average gardener will need to spend more time than that to get much done. Generally gardeners would prefer to spend a minimum of 2 - 3 hours to make it worthwhile. 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.
Respectable gardeners in Great Lumley would not dream of asking for payment up front for their services, therefore you should be very wary of anyone who makes this request.

No matter what form of payment you agree on, be sure to get a receipt so there are no arguments later on.
Before work starts prepare a plan of expected tasks with the gardener, this will help them to live up to your expectations. It isn't always easy for you to know which plants will grow best in your garden, the advice of your gardener will be invaluable. Check that your gardener will remove any waste such as lawn trimmings and branches, some do not.
Remember to keep the gardener supplied with drinks if you are around while the gardening is being done. There is no telling what advantages may be gained by you for such little acts of kindness. By having a quick chat with your gardener every once in a while, you can pick up some tips while also building a friendly rapport. However, avoid incessant prattling which will only annoy the gardener and impede his/her progress.
