Finding a Gardener in Kenn: Sorting out a dreary and overgrown garden is not everyone's cup of tea, so if you find yourself in this situation you should not be afraid to ask for some outside assistance. You could ask the "guy down the road" who does a bit of gardening or you could call on a professional Kenn gardener. Although many professional gardeners don't have any formal qualifications, they generally have more relevant knowledge than that "fellow down the street" does. This article may help you to decide.
If you cherish your garden you will want a gardener with some savvy, who appreciates what you have and looks after it correctly. So make sure you find a gardener in Kenn 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 you only have a small garden, there are lots of jobs that need doing on a regular basis. During spring and summer such gardening jobs need attending to more frequently. You'll not be surprised to learn that the most commonly requested gardening jobs are mowing lawns, trimming hedges, general cleaning and weeding. Most professional Kenn gardeners will also help with garden fencing, waste removal, laying patios and cleaning driveways.
Don't expect to get a decent gardener for peanuts, while that "chap 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. Most Kenn gardeners will not want to do just one hours work. Sessions of 2 or 3 hours are standard for many gardeners in Kenn. 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.
Be extremely suspicious of any Kenn gardener who requests money up front before doing the job. You might however expect to pay a deposit for materials with larger tasks such as hard landscaping. Once the work is completed, it's not unusual for the gardener to ask for payment in cash rather than a cheque. No matter if you pay your gardener with cash, cheque or card, ask for a receipt, you don't want any disputes or arguments about payments down the road.
Right from the start and before any work commences, ensure your gardener has a clear understanding of exactly what needs doing. It is nice to have an expert on hand to help whip your garden into shape, make sure you exploit their knowledge to the full. Not all gardeners like to take away the waste and lawn clippings, so check that yours does. Unless you want to keep it for your compost heap.
Gardeners are used to providing their own refreshments, but this shouldn't stop you from offering them a cup of tea or even a cold drink on a hot summer's day. There is no telling what advantages may be gained by you for such little acts of kindness. In order to benefit from his/her knowledge and to keep a friendly rapport going, pop out for a chat now and again. This doesn't mean you should stay there chattering all day though, you will be simply delaying their progress.
Garden Design Kenn
While a gardener may be a genius when it comes to looking after your garden, it might be a different "kettle of fish" when it comes to garden design. Certain gardeners in Kenn will put their hand to anything related to horticulture, whilst others stick to the routine stuff. Speak to your gardener and determine if this branch of gardening is something they are comfortable with. You might find that in the end you have to call in a specialist.
Tree Surgery Kenn
Many gardeners in Kenn will have a reasonable knowledge of trees as well as other plants, and they'll generally be happy to do some essential tree surgery jobs if needed. Although for any important work it is best to use the specialist services of a certified tree surgeon, for incidental clipping and pruning, your local Kenn gardener should have all of the necessary skills.
It's not at all unheard of for larger trees to become overgrown, causing a real danger to power cables or even your property. Also, sewage pipes, drives, terraces and building footings can be seriously damaged by tree roots, therefore keeping a watchful eye on any trees that are on your land is very important. Talk to your gardener if you have suspicions that any of the trees on your property in Kenn are causing issues, since they'll probably be able to help to resolve the issue.
