Finding a Gardener in Hornsey: Don't get stressed out if your garden in Hornsey is looking unkempt and you can never find the time to sort it out, there is always the option of calling in some outside help. Now, you should be looking for the "right" kind of help in the shape of a professional gardener rather than the "chap down the road" who puts his hand to anything. Although there is no guarantee that a professional gardener will have any recognised horticultural qualifications, he/she will almost certainly have a great deal more gardening knowledge than that "fella down the street" is going to have.
It is not too much to ask that any gardener treats your garden, plants and contents with a degree of respect. So make sure you find a gardener in Hornsey who you can trust to do a good job. The importance of this cannot be stressed enough, when certain shrubs and trees are involved. Avoid settling for any old chancer, find yourself a decent gardener.
Even if your garden is relatively small, there are a handful of jobs which need attending to on a routine basis. You will need to book in more regular visits by your gardener in the spring and summer as these jobs pile up. As a rule grass cutting, general cleaning, weeding and hedge cutting are the typical gardening jobs that need doing on a regular basis. Bigger tasks such as driveway cleaning, repairing fences, decking installation and waste clearance can also be handled by the majority of gardeners.
Experienced gardeners don't come cheap and if you are being charged around £20 per hour, that is about average. Usually gardeners will not be happy doing just one hours work. Most will want to put in at least 2 to 3 hours at a time to make it worth their while. The reason for this is that they have to allow time for travel, waste disposal and getting tools on and off their truck.
It should never be necessary to pay your gardener in advance of doing the work, give short shrift to anybody who asks for this. Quite often a gardener will ask to be paid in cash once the work is complete and that is of course fine. To avoid the possibility of disputes in the future always ask your gardener for a receipt.
Be clear about your expectations from the very beginning, prepare a list of work you need doing. Always ask your gardener for advice, he or she will know exactly what plants are best suited to your garden conditions. Getting rid of your lawn trimmings and hedge clippings won't always be part of the service so ensure that in your case it is.
While most gardeners bring their own food and refreshments it doesn't hurt to ask if they would like a cup of tea or coffee while they are working. This sort of kindness is always very much appreciated. Having regular discussions with your gardener helps you to keep abreast of the latest ideas, and also develop a friendly relationship. This is not to say you should stand there all day gabbing, this will merely hinder your gardener and stop him/her from doing their job.
Hornsey Garden Design
If you are looking to have your entire garden re-designed it might be necessary to find a specialist Hornsey garden designer. Quite a few gardeners have expertise in this area of gardening, while the rest stick to the more mundane tasks. Have a chat with your gardener and see if they are happy to take this on. Alternatively, you may just have to search for an expert.
Tree Surgery Hornsey
Many gardeners in Hornsey will have some basic knowledge of trees in addition to other plants, and they will be glad to do a few elementary tree surgery jobs when necessary. While your neighbourhood Hornsey gardener ought to have the vital skills to undertake pruning and clipping, for any major work it is best to use the professional services of a certified tree surgeon.
It isn't out of the ordinary for larger trees to become overgrown, causing a danger to electricity lines or even your property. The roots could also do harm to driveways, pathways, sewerage pipes and building footings, therefore you should always keep an eye on them. If you are concerned that these or some other problems are being triggered by any of the trees in your garden in Hornsey, talk to your gardener first.
Garden Clearance Hornsey
Whilst many gardeners will be prepared to do a certain amount of garden clearance in Hornsey, most of them won't hold a Waste Carrier Licence, and will thus be restricted in the volume and type of waste they are able to carry. If the levels of waste are minimal you might be able to dispose of a lot of it using your council garden waste bin (if you have one).
You will most likely have to get in touch with a licenced garden clearance expert, if like many other householders in Hornsey, you've got a garden that's stacked up with all manner of rubbish, and not merely "green" waste. You could always think about renting a mini-skip if you have a good amount of rubbish in your garden. This will allow you to dispose of not only garden waste, but maybe also clear out your garage, your shed and perhaps even you loft.
In general "green" garden waste will be the likes of: lawn trimmings, plants, twigs, bushes, logs, hedge clippings, tree branches, dirt, turf and roots.
