Finding a Gardener in Lower Shiplake: 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. So, you could contact the "chap down the street" who somebody told you about or alternatively get in touch with a professional Lower Shiplake gardener who will likely do a better job. Although many professional gardeners don't have any formal qualifications, they generally have more relevant knowledge than that "fella down the street" does.
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. Make sure you locate a dependable Lower Shiplake gardener who'll do a real good job. The importance of this cannot be stressed enough, when certain shrubs and trees are involved. Get a dependable Lower Shiplake gardener, not a "rogue trader".
Routine maintenance is the key with all gardens, whether small or large, with a seemingly endless list of jobs to do. Spring is the busiest time with jobs needing to be done more frequently than during the rest of the year. In general mowing lawns, general cleaning, hedge pruning and weeding are the common jobs that people in Lower Shiplake need doing in their gardens. It is unlikely that your gardener will refuse tasks such as decking installation, cleaning driveways, waste removal and fence repairs.
Good gardeners don't come cheap, a professional gardener is likely to charge you £20 per hour or more, while that "fellow down the road" might do it for £10 to £12 per hour. One hour in your garden is not very much and the average gardener will need to spend more time than that to get much done. It is often not worth their while to do much less than two hours gardening at a time. Bear in mind the fact that they have travelling time to and from your home, and they may need to visit the local dump to dispose or your garden waste.
Avoid any "gardener" who demands money up front, no trustworthy Lower Shiplake gardener will expect this. Exceptions to this rule could be in respect of large projects such as patio laying where considerable amounts of materials are needed. After the completion of your garden it would not be at all uncommon for your gardener to ask to be paid in cash. Whatever kind of payment you and your gardener agree on, get a receipt to avoid later arguments.
Make out a list of gardening jobs that require attention and be transparent about your expectations before the work starts. Your gardener is there to help you, so if you have any doubts about plants or their positioning, ask for advice. Verify that any garden waste resulting from the work will be taken away, not all gardeners will do this.
Gardening is hard work, so remember to ask if your gardener wants a drink at some point during the day. This type of kindness is always welcome and your gardener may show his/her gratitude by doing a great job on your garden. Engage in some conversation with your gardener whenever you get the chance so that you can build a friendly relationship and benefit from their knowledge and ideas. This is not to say you should stand there all day gabbing, this will merely hinder your gardener and stop him/her from doing their job.
Lower Shiplake Garden Design
If you have bigger plans for your garden and are thinking about a total re-design, you might need more than a run of the mill gardener. Generally the average gardener prefers to stick to routine gardening tasks, leaving garden design to the experts. Establish if your gardener is one of those who relish garden design. In many instances it becomes necessary to bring in an expert.
Garden Clearance Lower Shiplake
While some gardeners will be able to do a certain amount of garden clearance in Lower Shiplake, most of them won't have a "Waste Carrier's Licence", and will therefore be restricted in the volume of waste they are able to dispose of. If only small amounts of waste are involved it may be possible to dispose of most of it by making use of your council green waste bin (if you have got access to one), otherwise you'll need additional help.
Needless to say, a lot of gardens in Lower Shiplake are stacked up with all sorts of rubbish, and not only "green" waste, so for this form of project you will possibly need to get in touch with a certified Lower Shiplake garden clearance expert. There are other options you could consider if you have a large quantity of junk in your garden, renting a mini-skip may be an alternative you could look into. This would allow you to get rid of not just garden waste, but perhaps also clear out your shed, your garage and possibly even you attic.
Generally speaking "green" garden waste could be the likes of: hedge clippings, shrubs, pruned branches, logs, wood chippings, dead plants, lawn trimmings, twigs, topsoil and turf. (Tags: Garden Clearance Lower Shiplake, Waste Removal Lower Shiplake, Garden Clearances Lower Shiplake).
