Finding a Gardener in Harlaxton: You should never be ashamed to ask for assistance if your Harlaxton garden is a bit lacklustre and you simply cannot find the time to tackle it yourself. You could ask the "guy down the road" who does a bit of gardening or you could call on a professional Harlaxton gardener. The thing is that the "geezer down the street" will know how to trim your hedge and mow your lawn, but probably not much else, whilst a professional will have more in depth knowledge.
You want your prized garden to be treated with a certain level of respect by somebody who knows precisely what they're up to. So, try to find a local Harlaxton gardener who is trustworthy and reliable. If you've got trees, plants and shrubs needing special attention, this will become more important still. Get a dependable Harlaxton gardener, not a "rogue trader".
The thing with gardens is that the jobs that need doing are routine, the same things need doing perhaps weekly, fortnightly or monthly. In spring and summer you should organise more frequent gardener visits as the jobs that need doing increase. The list of the most common gardening jobs will come as no surprise and includes the likes of grass cutting, weeding, general cleaning and hedge pruning. More involved tasks might include: decking installation, repairing fences, cleaning driveways and waste removal.
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. The average gardener in Harlaxton will not be satisfied with doing your garden in one hour sessions. Sessions of 2 or 3 hours are standard for many gardeners in Harlaxton. You must take into account travelling time, loading and unloading equipment and visits to the tip with your waste.
Any gardener who asks for payment in advance should raise your suspicions, you want to see results before forking out any money. Paying a deposit for materials might be appropriate for bigger jobs like decking or fencing. If your gardener asks to be paid in cash after the job is complete, this is not something to be worried about and is normal within the trade. Always insist on a receipt whether you pay by card, cheque or cash, proof of payment is important in case of any future arguments.
Be clear what your requirements are before the gardener begins work, have a list of jobs that need doing. Any self-respecting gardener will be more than happy to help you get your garden in order, use this help and guidance wisely. If there is going to be a lot of waste produced by your gardener, double check they he/she will take it away afterwards.
It is customary to offer your gardener a hot or cold drink, though many bring their own refreshments. A gardener will always be appreciative of such kindness and will work even harder to show this gratitude. Having regular discussions with your gardener helps you to keep abreast of the latest ideas, and also develop a friendly relationship. Don't stand there all day twittering on however, which only results in a frustrated gardener and an incomplete garden.
