Finding a Gardener in Longstanton: Even though you may enjoy doing the gardening you can sometimes get so behind that it becomes overgrown and a bit of a mess. This might be the right time to bring in someone else to help you. Now, you should be looking for the "right" kind of help in the shape of a professional gardener rather than the "guy down the road" who puts his hand to anything. Generally speaking that "chap down the road" will have very little gardening knowledge, while any self-respecting Longstanton gardener be bursting with horticultural expertise.
You definately need to get a gardener who knows how to treat your garden and its contents. So, your main objective must be to find a trustworthy Longstanton gardener who has a reputation for doing an excellent job. This is particularly crucial when your garden contains shrubs and trees which require special attention. Get yourself a good gardener, don't just settle for any old one.
No matter what size your garden is there will always be jobs that require attention as part of a routine. During spring and summer such gardening jobs need attending to more frequently. The more commonly required jobs that need doing in Longstanton gardens are mowing lawns, trimming hedges, general tidying and weeding. Other jobs like laying patios, garden fencing, cleaning driveways and waste removal are also within most gardeners remit.
Don't expect to get a decent gardener for peanuts, while that "fellow 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. One hours work is not enough to make much impression on your garden, so you should reckon on them needing to spend more time than this. It would not be that unusual for a gardener to have a minimum visit time of 2 to 3 hours. When you consider things like travel, tool unloading and re-loading, and taking your waste to the tip this is easy to understand.
You should be suspicious of any gardener who demands payment in advance. Don't be surprised if your gardener asks for cash payment, this isn't unusual, but of course only when the work is finished. Make sure that you get a receipt, no matter what type of payment you agree on, this will avoid arguments down the line.
Before work starts prepare a plan of expected tasks with the gardener, this will help them to live up to your expectations. 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. Ensure that the gardener will take away lawn cuttings, weeds and twigs afterwards, not all do this. Unless you have a garden waste bin and you can fit it in that.
It never hurts to be polite to those working on your property, therefore you should always offer them a drink. Small things like this will help make the gardener happy in his/her work and a contented gardener may work harder on your behalf. Pop out for a chat with your gardener from time to time so you can benefit from their ideas and keep a friendly rapport. Don't stand there all day twittering on however, which only results in a frustrated gardener and an incomplete garden.
