Finding a Gardener in Leverington: You shouldn't be afraid to ask for some assistance if your garden in Leverington is in a bit of a mess and you don't really have the time to do it yourself. When you take the plunge and do this, be careful who you choose. Do you call the "chap down the road" or an established local Leverington gardener? Whilst formal qualifications are not a requirement for gardeners, a professional is likely to have a wider range of knowledge than that "guy down the road" and will have a reputation to uphold. This is a choice that you alone will have to make.
It is never a good idea to have somebody looking after your garden who doesn't know what they're doing. Always try to track down a gardener in the Leverington area who will do a good job and who can be trusted. 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.
Even if you've got a small garden, there will be various tasks that require attention in a routine manner. These routine jobs have to be done more frequently throughout the spring and summertime. People with gardens in Leverington most often want jobs done like general tidying, weeding, grass cutting and hedge trimming. Other jobs that professional gardeners will usually handle include: waste removal, fence repairs, driveway cleaning and decking installation.
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 Leverington gardeners will not want to do just one hours work. Most will want to put in at least 2 to 3 hours at a time to make it worth their while. This is to allow for travel, unloading tools and waste disposal.
Asking for money up front is not normal for gardeners (unlike builders), so be extra careful if they do. Large projects like patio laying would be an exception to this rule, when a deposit for materials will be requested. When the gardener has finished working you may be asked for payment in cash, this is not at all unusual. No matter if you pay your gardener with cash, card or cheque, ask for a receipt, you don't want any disputes or arguments about payments down the road.
Always explain exactly what your needs are, a list of projects will make things clearer for the gardener. Always ask your gardener for advice, he or she will know exactly what plants are best suited to your garden conditions. It might be sensible to verify that your gardener disposes of any waste materials as part of the service, not all Leverington gardeners do.
Though usually a gardener will bring along a flask or bottle of water, it is nice to offer him/her a cup of tea while working hard on your garden. You can expect your gardener to very much appreciate gestures like this and to repay you with increased output. Having a friendly rapport with your gardener is also important, so chat with them on a regular basis, discuss plans and bounce ideas off each other. In doing this, don't prevent them from getting on with their work, because this will make the job take longer and cost you more money in the long run.
