Finding a Gardener in New Cross: If your garden is in a bit of a state and you don't have the time to sort it out yourself, there is no shame in calling in some help. So, you could contact the "fellow down the road" who somebody told you about or alternatively get in touch with a professional New Cross gardener who will likely do a better job. 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 "fellow down the street" is going to have. Picking who is best for your garden is important.
It is never a good idea to have somebody looking after your garden who doesn't know what they're doing. So, try to find a local New Cross gardener who is trustworthy and reliable. You will come to realise that this is even more important when you've got trees and shrubs needing a higher level of care. Don't make do with any old rubbish, track down a proper gardener.
The jobs that need doing on a routine basis are much the same with both large and small gardens in New Cross. Such routine jobs will need attention more frequently at certain times of the year, in particular spring and summer. Typically weeding, mowing lawns, general cleaning and hedge pruning are the more common jobs that folk with gardens in New Cross need done. Bigger tasks such as patio installation, waste removal, repairing fences and cleaning driveways can also be handled by the majority of gardeners.
Good gardeners don't come cheap, a professional gardener is likely to charge you £20 per hour or more, while that "geezer down the road" might do it for £10 to £12 per hour. Certainly for the first visit you should reckon on your gardener needing more than an hour to get the job done. In order for them to do all the neccessary work they may need to put in at least two or three hours. They have to allow for other things such as disposing of your garden waste at the local rubbish tip, unloading tools and equipment, and actually getting to and from your home.
If a gardener asks for payment up front you should be very wary, as this is not normal practice. Paying a deposit for materials might be appropriate for bigger jobs like patio laying. Many New Cross gardeners favour payment in cash, very few will take cards, they will only ask after you have approved their work. Don't forget to ask for a receipt irrespective of if you pay by cheque, card or cash, having proof of payment prevents later quarrels.
Don't just leave them to get on with it, make sure your explain your exact requirements before they start. Any decent New Cross gardener will be more than willing to share their knowledge of plants and shrubs, use their guidance to choose what is best for your garden. Establish that all of the weeds, lawn trimmings and resulting waste will be removed, they don't all offer this service. Give preference to gardeners who agree to take away all the garden waste.
Spare a thought for your gardener toiling away on your property with no facilities at hand. Offer them the use of your toilet and perhaps provide a drink. 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. Do not take this to the extreme however, and impede their work with constant babbling, they may become frustrated and not do a proper job.
