Finding a Gardener in Horstead: 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. You could ask the "guy down the road" who does a bit of gardening or you could call on a professional Horstead gardener. The thing is that the "guy down the road" 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. At the end of the day you will have to choose.
Your beloved garden deserves to be treated with respect by someone who has pride in their work and the knowledge to do it properly. Make sure you locate a dependable Horstead gardener who'll do a real good job. When you have a garden containing trees and shrubs needing expert care, this is even more important. Don't get stuck with rogues and cowboys, hire a proper gardener.
Even if you've got a small garden, there will be various tasks that require attention in a routine manner. Spring is the busiest time with jobs needing to be done more frequently than during the rest of the year. Among the most common jobs needing to be done in Horstead gardens are hedge pruning, grass cutting, weeding and general tidying. Tasks such as cleaning driveways, patio installation, waste removal and fence repairs are other things that your gardener will probably help you with.
Professional gardeners do not of course come cheap and while the "fellow down the street" may be happy to charge £10 to £15 an hour, a figure of £20 per hour is more usual for professionals. Gardening takes time and one hour will not be enough for most gardeners to make much progress on your garden. It's not uncommon for a gardener to request at least two hour minimum visit times. If you think that this is just to stretch the job out, think again. They have to travel to and from your home, they have to unload mowers and garden tools, and they will probably have to load your waste onto their trailer and take it to a nearby rubbish tip.
Respectable gardeners in Horstead would not dream of asking for payment up front for their services, therefore you should be very wary of anyone who makes this request. It is not unusual for gardeners to ask for payment in cash, but only after the work is done. Insist on getting a receipt especially where cash is involved, this will avoid any disputes about unpaid work later on.
Before work starts prepare a plan of expected tasks with the gardener, this will help them to live up to your expectations. Knowing which plants are most suitable for your garden's condition isn't always easy, so ask your gardener for advice on this. Taking away all the garden waste such as hedge clippings and lawn trimmings may not be included in the service, therefore you should establish whether your gardener will do this or not.
Though usually a gardener will bring along a flask or bottle of water, it is nice to offer him/her a cup of tea while working hard on your garden. Considerations like this will always be appreciated and will often result in a better standard of work. Try to have a regular dialogue with your gardener, during which you can swap ideas, gain some knowledge and forge a friendly rapport at the same time. It is not however a good idea to pester them constantly which will have the effect of annoying them and slowing the work down.
