Finding a Gardener in Leafield: Calling in some outside help to get your bedraggled garden back into shape, isn't something to be ashamed of if you never seem to have enough time to do it yourself. It is generally advisable to opt for a professional Leafield gardener, as opposed to the "bloke down the street" who does a bit of gardening. Whilst formal qualifications are not a requirement for gardeners, a professional is likely to have a wider range of knowledge than that "geezer down the road" and will have a reputation to uphold. The decision as they say is yours.
You certainly want a gardener who will treat your garden with respect and not cause it any harm or damage. Therefore you must find a gardener in Leafield who can be depended upon to do a fine job. This will be even more critical for those of you with trees and shrubs in your garden. Don't get stuck with rogues and cowboys, hire a proper gardener.
Those monthly, fortnightly or even weekly gardening jobs are often necessary even if your garden is small. Of course such jobs will be more regular during the spring and summer months. Typically general tidying, trimming hedges, weeding and lawn mowing are the more common jobs that folk with gardens in Leafield need done. It isn't unusual for professional Leafield gardeners to help you out with laying patios, waste clearance, driveway cleaning and fence repairs.
While that "chap down the street" might quote you ten to fifteen pounds an hour to "do" your garden, an experienced gardener will come at a considerably higher price (£20 per hour maybe). You should anticipate your gardener needing more time than one hour is he/she is to get your garden looking good again. At least two to three hours work is often the minimum that gardeners will wish to put in each time. When you consider things like travel, tool unloading and re-loading, and taking your waste to the tip this is easy to understand.
Trustworthy Leafield gardeners will never ask for money in advance, so be distrustful of anybody who does. Of course gardeners often ask for payment in cash after the work is completed. Whether you pay by cash, card or cheque, insist on a receipt, this will prevent later disputes over payment.
Don't just leave them to get on with it, make sure your explain your exact requirements before they start. Once your gardener starts you will have an expert at your fingertips, make the most of it and get plenty of advice and guidance. If there is going to be a lot of waste produced by your gardener, double check they he/she will take it away afterwards.
Working outdoors can be tough and thirsty work, so make sure that there is the offer of a cold or hot drink to help the day along. You can expect your gardener to very much appreciate gestures like this and to repay you with increased output. It's important that you and your gardener have a friendly relationship with each other. Pop into the garden for regular chats to discuss gardening ideas and plans. Having said that, don't hold your gardener up by wittering on all day and preventing him/her from getting on with the job.
