Finding a Gardener in Heage: Bringing in some outside assistance to knock a tired and bedraggled garden back into shape is something many busy people have to do these days, especially after a long and blustery winter. Should you hire a professional Heage gardener or the "fellow down the road" who does gardens cheap? Although many professional gardeners don't have any formal qualifications, they generally have more relevant knowledge than that "chap down the road" does. That of course is a decision that you will have to make.
You do not want your precious garden to be spoilt by someone who doesn't have to knowledge to look after it properly. Always try to track down a gardener in the Heage area who will do a good job and who can be trusted. This will be even more critical for those of you with trees and shrubs in your garden. Never compromise, get yourself a decent Heage gardener.
Gardens are all about routine maintenance, with jobs to be done fortnightly or monthly, even with smaller gardens. Such routine jobs will need attention more frequently at certain times of the year, in particular spring and summer. The most common jobs that people with gardens need doing in Heage are hedge pruning, general tidying, mowing lawns and weeding. The majority of Heage gardeners will also be more than happy to deal with bigger tasks like waste clearance, garden fencing, cleaning driveways and laying patios.
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. 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. It is often not worth their while to do much less than two hours gardening at a time. It is not just a case of working on your garden, they need to allow for travelling time and visits to the local rubbish tip.
Don't pay any Heage gardener in advance of the job being done, this is not the norm and they may disappear with your money. An exception to this rule of thumb would be with more extensive tasks for example decking or fencing when being asked for a deposit for materials is quite normal. When the gardener has finished working you may be asked for payment in cash, this is not at all unusual. Whatever kind of payment you and your gardener agree on, get a receipt to avoid later arguments.
Be clear about your expectations from the very beginning, prepare a list of work you need doing. 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. Grass cuttings and hedge clippings can be a pain to get rid of, so make certain that your gardener includes the disposal of these as part of the service.
Gardening makes you thirsty so keep yours supplied with drinks if you're at home. Keeping a gardener "sweet" with little acts of kindness like this may be repaid by increased efforts on their part. It helps to keep things friendly, so popping out for a chat every now and again will help to do this and also give you the chance to get some tips from your gardener. In doing this, don't prevent them from getting on with their work, because this will make the job take longer and cost you more money in the long run.
