Finding a Gardener in Ivybridge: 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. So, you could contact the "fellow down the street" who somebody told you about or alternatively get in touch with a professional Ivybridge gardener who will likely do a better job. Although many professional gardeners don't have any formal qualifications, they generally have more relevant knowledge than that "geezer down the street" does.
Having your garden treated with the respect it deserves is something your should be able to expect from any gardener. So make sure you find a gardener in Ivybridge who you can trust to do a good job. If you have a garden containing certain trees and shrubs, the importance of this is even more apparent. Hire a professional gardener and never settle for second best.
All gardens, whether large or small need regular upkeep and maintenance with lots of jobs to be done. Gardener visits will generally need to be more regular in spring and summer, with jobs being done more frequently. Most people in Ivybridge who have gardens will typically need tasks done like grass cutting, general tidying, weeding and hedge trimming. More involved tasks might include: waste removal, driveway cleaning, laying patios and repairing fences.
Experienced gardeners don't come cheap and if you are being charged around £20 per hour, that is about average. It might be the case that your chosen gardener will need more than an hour to whip your garden into shape. For it to be worth their while, gardeners generally favour doing 2 or 3 hours at a stretch. The reason for this is that they have to allow time for travel, waste disposal and getting tools on and off their truck.
It would not be normal for a genuine Ivybridge gardener to ask for payment in advance, so be wary if this happens to you. You might however expect to pay a deposit for materials with larger tasks such as patio laying. Many Ivybridge gardeners favour payment in cash, very few will take cards, they will only ask after you have approved their work. Having proof of payment is essential to avoid quarrels about unpaid bills, so make sure you get a receipt.
Always explain exactly what your needs are, a list of projects will make things clearer for the gardener. Ask your gardener about your specific garden conditions and get advice about the best plants to grow to get the perfect results. The removal of the waste that has been generated isn't something that all gardeners are prepared to do, make sure that yours does. You don't want to get left with a big pile of waste that you can't get rid of.
It doesn't hurt to offer your gardener a drink during their toils, after all gardening is thirsty work. Gardeners are appreciative of gestures like this and will no doubt reward you by doing the best possible job. In order to benefit from his/her knowledge and to keep a friendly rapport going, pop out for a chat now and again. Occasionally is the key word with this approach however, don't hold them up by standing over them and nattering all day long.
