Finding a Gardener in Hodge Hill: Calling in some outside help to get your bedraggled garden back into shape, isn't something to be ashamed of if you never seem to have enough time to do it yourself. So, you could contact the "geezer down the street" who somebody told you about or alternatively get in touch with a professional Hodge Hill gardener who will likely do a better job. Generally speaking that "fella down the road" will have very little gardening knowledge, while any self-respecting Hodge Hill gardener be bursting with horticultural expertise.
It is not too much to ask that any gardener treats your garden, plants and contents with a degree of respect. Therefore you should be careful that you choose a gardener in Hodge Hill who can be relied upon. If you've got trees, plants and shrubs needing special attention, this will become more important still. Hire a professional gardener and never settle for second best.
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. Typical jobs that Hodge Hill people need doing in their gardens include: general tidying, lawn mowing, hedge trimming and weeding. Most decent gardeners in Hodge Hill will tackle other jobs such as waste removal, decking installation, repairing fences and cleaning driveways.
While that "geezer down the street" might quote you ten to fifteen pounds an hour to "do" your garden, an experienced gardener will come at a considerably higher price (£20 per hour maybe). In order to make much difference to your garden, most gardeners will need to invest more than an hour of hard graft. Most will want to put in at least 2 to 3 hours at a time to make it worth their while. 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.
Don't pay any Hodge Hill gardener in advance of the job being done, this is not the norm and they may disappear with your money. It is quite normal for a gardener to request cash payment, rather than card or cheque, so make sure you have some to hand. Insist on getting a receipt especially where cash is involved, this will avoid any disputes about unpaid work later on.
Make sure your gardener is clear about your requirements, give him/her a list of jobs before they begin. Always ask your gardener for advice, he or she will know exactly what plants are best suited to your garden conditions. 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.
Working outdoors can be tough and thirsty work, so make sure that there is the offer of a cold or hot drink to help the day along. You can expect your gardener to very much appreciate gestures like this and to repay you with increased output. So that you can forge a friendly relationship with your gardener it is often a nice idea to pop out for a chat now and again. This also helps you to gain some additional gardening knowhow and useful tips. You should not however take this to the extreme, and stand there chattering all day long, which will only hold up your gardener and make the job take longer.
Tree Surgery Hodge Hill
Many gardeners in Hodge Hill will have a reasonable knowledge of trees as well as plants, and they'll be happy to do some essential tree surgery tasks when required. Whilst for any major work it is advisable to use the specialist services of a trained tree surgeon, for incidental cutting back and pruning, your local Hodge Hill gardener should have all the vital skills.
Larger trees can quickly become overgrown and cause hazards for your home and any nearby utility lines. You need to keep a watchful eye on any trees that are growing on your land, because their roots can also do harm to drives, sewage pipework, footings and terraces. Have a chat with your gardener if you have suspicions that any trees on your property in Hodge Hill are causing problems, because they'll possibly be able to help to resolve the issue.
Garden Clearance Hodge Hill
If you allow "green" waste and general junk to build up in your garden, the time will arise when you need a garden clearance specialist. Some Hodge Hill gardeners will be prepared to do this, but unless they've got a "Waste Carrier Licence", they'll be restricted on the amount of waste they can dispose of. If you've got a council green waste bin (you usually have to pay extra for these), you might be able to dispose of most of it bit by bit, if the quantities of waste are only small.
Clearly, many gardens in Hodge Hill are stacked up with all kinds of trash, and not merely green waste, so for this type of clearance you will probably have to contact a licenced Hodge Hill garden clearance specialist. If you have a substantial amount of rubbish in your garden you might also look into renting a mini-skip. Adopting this course will enable you to perhaps have a clear out in your shed, your garage and possibly even your loft space, together with your garden waste.
In general "green" garden waste will be the likes of: roots, bushes, twigs, turf, hedge clippings, logs, topsoil, lawn trimmings, pruned branches and dead flowers.
