Finding a Gardener in Market Drayton: You shouldn't be afraid to ask for some assistance if your garden in Market Drayton is in a bit of a mess and you don't really have the time to do it yourself. It is tempting to call on the "fellow down the road" who helps out your neighbour, or you could actually bring in a proper Market Drayton gardener. While a proper gardener may not have any qualifications he or she will know a bit more than that "guy down the road".
A gardener who knows precisely what they're doing will treat your garden with the respect that it deserves. This means that finding a local Market Drayton gardener who does a good job and can be trusted should be your aim. This is even more important if you have plants or trees in your garden which need specialist care. Don't allow a cowboy to ruin your garden, hire a decent one at the outset.
Even if you've got a small garden, there will be various tasks that require attention in a routine manner. With the arrival of spring the frequency with which such tasks need attending to increases. In general weeding, mowing lawns, hedge pruning and general tidying are the common jobs that people in Market Drayton need doing in their gardens. It is likely that your gardener will also help you with repairing fences, driveway cleaning, waste clearance and decking installation.
While that "guy down the road" 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). 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. For it to be worth their while, gardeners generally favour doing 2 or 3 hours at a stretch. This is not greed or stretching the job out, but simply making allowances for travel, unloading and waste removal when necessary.
If a gardener asks for payment up front you should be very wary, as this is not normal practice. Payment of some money up front could be appropriate when bigger jobs are being done like garden fencing. It is quite normal for a gardener to request cash payment, rather than card or cheque, so make sure you have some to hand. Agree on an acceptable form of payment before work starts and always get a receipt once the bill has been paid.
Be transparent about your requirements before any work begins, give the gardener a rota of tasks that you would like to be done. In order for you to get the most out of your gardener, you should always be willing to ask for advice and help. If there is going to be a lot of waste produced by your gardener, double check they he/she will take it away afterwards. Except when you have a use for it, such as building a compost heap with your lawn trimmings.
It is customary to offer your gardener a hot or cold drink, though many bring their own refreshments. Keeping a gardener "sweet" with little acts of kindness like this may be repaid by increased efforts on their part. 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. But you should not hinder their work with endless talking, they may rush to catch up and not do the job properly.
Tree Surgery Market Drayton
When required, some of the better gardeners in Market Drayton will be willing to do some basic tree surgery, as most of them will have at least a fundamental knowledge of trees and shrubs. For minor clipping and pruning, your neighbourhood Market Drayton gardener should have all the vital skills, but it is best to use the expert services of a qualified tree surgeon for any important work.
Larger trees can quite easily overgrow and cause hazards for your property and nearby power lines. Additionally driveways, foundations, sewage pipework and terraces can be irreversibly damaged by tree roots, therefore keeping a keen eye on any trees on your land is crucially important. If you believe that these or other problems are being caused by trees within your property boundaries in Market Drayton, you should have a chat with your gardener first.

Garden Clearance Market Drayton
You will discover that certain Market Drayton gardeners will be happy to do a limited amount of garden clearance, as long as there's only "green" waste and there is not too much involved. A few gardeners in Market Drayton will even have a "Waste Carrier's Licence", which will permit them to take larger volumes and different sorts of waste. If only modest volumes of waste are involved it may be feasible to get rid of most of it by making use of your council garden waste bin (if you have one), otherwise you will need some extra help.
You'll possibly have to bring in a certified garden clearance specialist, if like many householders in Market Drayton, you have a garden which is stacked up with all sorts of junk, and not merely "green" waste. There are other options you could consider if you have a large quantity of rubbish in your garden, renting a mini-skip may be an alternative that you could look into. This will allow you to get shot of not just garden waste, but maybe also clear out your garage, your shed and perhaps even you attic.
Generally dirt, hedge clippings, bushes, turf, wood chippings, pruned branches, logs, lawn trimmings, twigs and dead plants, would be regarded as "green" waste.
