Finding a Gardener in Great Torrington: If your garden is in a bit of a state and you don't have the time to sort it out yourself, there is no shame in calling in some help. That help should come in the shape of a professional Great Torrington gardener with a bit of experience, and not the "chap down the street" who knocks on your door and offers to jet wash your patio. Although many professional gardeners don't have any formal qualifications, they generally have more relevant knowledge than that "fella down the street" does.
You certainly want a gardener who will treat your garden with respect and not cause it any harm or damage. So, be certain to locate a gardener in Great Torrington who you know you can trust. If you've got trees, plants and shrubs needing special attention, this will become more important still. Don't allow a cowboy to ruin your garden, hire a decent one at the outset.
No matter what size your garden is there will always be jobs that require attention as part of a routine. Spring is the busiest time with jobs needing to be done more frequently than during the rest of the year. Typical jobs that Great Torrington people need doing in their gardens include: general cleaning, hedge pruning, grass cutting and weeding. Many quality gardeners in Great Torrington will also be willing to assist with repairing fences, decking installation, cleaning driveways and waste clearance.
On the subject of price, this can vary with areas and gardeners, but charges of about twenty pounds per hour are normal and may be even higher. 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. Most gardeners will have a minimum visit time of 2 hours. The reason for this is that they have to allow time for travel, waste disposal and getting tools on and off their truck.
Be cautious of anyone who demands payment for gardening services in advance. An exception to this rule of thumb would be with more extensive tasks for example garden fencing when being asked for a deposit for materials is quite normal. After the completion of your garden it would not be at all uncommon for your gardener to ask to be paid in cash. Whatever kind of payment you and your gardener agree on, get a receipt to avoid later arguments.
Before the gardener gets to work on your garden make sure he or she is clear about your requirements, a list of expected tasks might help. 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. Some gardeners are not willing to dispose of all your garden waste, ensuring that yours will do this should be a priority.
Spare a thought for your gardener toiling away on your property with no facilities at hand. Offer them the use of your toilet and perhaps provide a drink. Acts of kindness such as this will make your gardener feel appreciated and he or she will work all the harder for it. Pop out for a chat with your gardener from time to time so you can benefit from their ideas and keep a friendly rapport. This does not mean you should pester them with constant wittering which will simply hinter them and slow down the work rate.
