Gardener Houghton Conquest

It should certainly go without saying that any gardener you hire should be informed enough to care for your garden and the contents within it. So, your main objective must be to find a trustworthy Houghton Conquest gardener who has a reputation for doing an excellent job. This is even more important if you have plants or trees in your garden which need specialist care. Don't settle for second best, get a professional gardener.

Whether your garden is large or small, there will always be jobs that need attending to on a routine basis. The warmth of spring and summer increases the frequency with which these jobs need to be done. Typical jobs that folk with gardens in Houghton Conquest require are hedge pruning, general cleaning, mowing lawns and weeding. Many quality gardeners in Houghton Conquest will also be willing to assist with waste clearance, laying patios, repairing fences and driveway cleaning.

Don't expect to get a decent gardener for peanuts, while that "fellow down the road" might only ask for £10 to £12 per hour, you're unlikely to get a professional for much less than £20 an hour. Generally a professional gardener will want to spend more than one hour on your garden. Many gardeners might even insist on a minimum visit time of at least two hours or so. 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.

It should never be necessary to pay your gardener in advance of doing the work, give short shrift to anybody who asks for this. 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. No matter what form of payment you agree on, be sure to get a receipt so there are no arguments later on.

Prior to work commencing give the gardener a clear picture of what you're expecting to be done. Make the most of having a specialist on hand and follow their guidance with regards to your choice of plants and shrubs. Make sure that all twigs, weeds and lawn cuttings will be removed and disposed of afterwards, certain gardeners don't do this. Being left with large quantities of garden waste is something that you need to avoid.

If you are at home while the gardening is being done, keep your gardener supplied with drinks. Such kindnesses are much appreciated and will likely be repaid by extra efforts on your behalf. Building a friendly relationship with your gardener is always a good idea, it enables you to soak up a little of their knowledge and ideas. Having said that, don't hold your gardener up by wittering on all day and preventing him/her from getting on with the job.

Garden Design Houghton Conquest

If you are fed up with how your garden looks and would like it to be altogether re-designed, you should not automatically assume that your gardener will be able to manage this. Certain gardeners in Houghton Conquest will put their hand to anything related to horticulture, whilst others stick to the routine stuff. A brief discussion about this aspect of gardening should soon establish if your gardener is willing to take it on. In many instances it becomes necessary to bring in an expert.

Tree Surgery Houghton Conquest

With a reasonable knowledge of trees and shrubs, some of the better gardeners in Houghton Conquest will be happy to do some basic tree surgery assignments every once in awhile. While your local Houghton Conquest gardener ought to have the vital skills to undertake pruning and trimming, for any major work it is best to use the expert services of a trained tree surgeon.

Tree damages to power lines and property isn't at all out of the ordinary, and this can rapidly happen if trees are allowed to get overgrown. The reality is that drives, pathways, sewer pipework and footings can be irreversibly damaged by tree roots, so keeping a close eye on any trees that are on your land is very important. If you are concerned that these or other issues are being triggered by trees on your property in Houghton Conquest, have a chat with your gardener first for advice.
