Finding a Gardener in Kilham: 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. When you take the plunge and do this, be careful who you choose. Do you call the "fellow down the street" or an established local Kilham gardener? The chances are that "guy down the street" will not have much gardening knowledge, while the professional garder will probably have horticultural qualifications. The decision as they say is yours.
You certainly don't want your cherished garden to be in any way mistreated by an ignorant or uninformed "gardener" who is just in it for a buck. So, try to find a local Kilham gardener who is trustworthy and reliable. When your garden features certain shrubs, plants and trees needing particular care, this will be even more essential. Don't put up with "rogue trader" gardeners, choose a dependable one.
Routine maintenance is the key with all gardens, whether small or large, with a seemingly endless list of jobs to do. More frequent visits will be necessary in the spring and summertime and maybe none at all during the wintertime. Typically lawn mowing, weeding, general tidying and hedge cutting are the more common jobs that folk with gardens in Kilham need done. Jobs like cleaning driveways, patio installation, waste removal and fence repairs are also something most Kilham gardeners will tackle.
On the subject of price, this can vary with areas and gardeners, but charges of about twenty pounds per hour are normal and may be even higher. Most Kilham gardeners will not want to do just one hours work. To make it worthwhile and to make an impression, gardeners normally like to put in two to three hours at a time. This is not greed or stretching the job out, but simply making allowances for travel, unloading and waste removal when necessary.
Avoid any "gardener" who demands money up front, no trustworthy Kilham gardener will expect this. 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.
A list of required tasks will help your gardener to plan his/her day, clearly lay out you exact requirements at the start. Your gardener will be there to give you advice and guidance on any aspect of your garden, so make the most of his/her knowledge. Not all gardeners like to take away the waste and lawn clippings, so check that yours does.
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. Such kindnesses are much appreciated and will likely be repaid by extra efforts on your behalf. It helps to keep things friendly, so popping out for a chat every now and again will help to do this and also give you the chance to get some tips from your gardener. You should not however take this to the extreme, and stand there chattering all day long, which will only hold up your gardener and make the job take longer.
