Finding a Gardener in Marple: Don't get stressed out if your garden in Marple is looking unkempt and you can never find the time to sort it out, there is always the option of calling in some outside help. It's often easy to just bring in the "guy down the street" who does odd jobs and gardening on the side, but think carefully, would a proper gardener be a better choice? Although there is no guarantee that a professional gardener will have any recognised horticultural qualifications, he/she will almost certainly have a great deal more gardening knowledge than that "bloke down the road" is going to have. At the end of the day you will have to choose.
Everyone likes their garden to be looked after properly and by a gardener who knows his/her stuff. So, finding a trustworthy and reliable Marple gardener is something you should take care in doing. When you've got shrubs and trees requiring specialist care, this becomes even more vital. Don't settle for any old gardener, get a decent one.
The thing with gardens is that the jobs that need doing are routine, the same things need doing perhaps weekly, fortnightly or monthly. During spring and summer such gardening jobs need attending to more frequently. Typical jobs that folk with gardens in Marple require are grass cutting, general cleaning, weeding and hedge pruning. Other jobs that professional gardeners will usually handle include: waste removal, garden fencing, driveway cleaning and patio installation.
Professional gardeners do not of course come cheap and while the "guy down the street" may be happy to charge £10 to £15 an hour, a figure of £20 per hour is more usual for professionals. You shouldn't expect too much from your gardener on his/her first visit, because gardening takes time and dependant on the amount of work that needs doing, several hours may be required. Generally gardeners would prefer to spend a minimum of 2 - 3 hours to make it worthwhile. Remember, they have to travel to and from your house, and maybe also get to the tip with your rubbish.
Give short shrift to any Marple gardener who expects to be paid up front before doing any work. After the completion of your garden it would not be at all uncommon for your gardener to ask to be paid in cash. To avoid any arguments later on, make sure you get a receipt no matter what kind of payment you agree on.
Make out a list of gardening jobs that require attention and be transparent about your expectations before the work starts. 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. Removing and disposing of lawn and hedge clippings isn't always part of the service so make sure that your gardener will do this for you. Unless you have a garden waste bin and you can fit it in that.
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. Gardeners are appreciative of gestures like this and will no doubt reward you by doing the best possible job. Go out and talk to your gardener now and again to keep a friendly rapport going and also to pick their brains. It is not however a good idea to pester them constantly which will have the effect of annoying them and slowing the work down.
