Finding a Gardener in Newtownards: Calling in some outside help to get your bedraggled garden back into shape, isn't something to be ashamed of if you never seem to have enough time to do it yourself. Think carefully before you hire someone because lots of people in Newtownards do gardening, some are professional gardeners and some just dabble. Though quite often you will find that a professional gardener in Newtownards doesn't hold any horticultural qualifications, he or she will probably be considerably more knowledgeable than your average "geezer down the street".
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. So, be certain to locate a gardener in Newtownards who you know you can trust. When your garden features certain shrubs, plants and trees needing particular care, this will be even more essential. Don't put up with chancers, seek out a good gardener.
There are plenty of jobs that require regular attention even if you've only got a small garden. As you can imagine the need for this regular maintenance is more necessary in spring and summer. Among the most common jobs needing to be done in Newtownards gardens are general tidying, hedge pruning, lawn mowing and weeding. Tasks such as laying patios, waste removal, fence repairs and cleaning driveways are other things that your gardener will probably help you with.
Decent gardeners do not come cheap, the "guy down the road" might do your gardening for £10 or £12 an hour, but a professional will probably charge nearer to £20 per hour. It might be the case that your chosen gardener will need more than an hour to whip your garden into shape. Generally gardeners would prefer to spend a minimum of 2 - 3 hours to make it worthwhile. Don't forget, they have to get to and from your location, they have to unload and load their van and they may have to dispose of your waste which could mean a trip to the local tip.
Asking for money up front is not normal for gardeners (unlike builders), so be extra careful if they do. Big projects such as landscaping may be an exception, because materials have to be bought and a deposit may be required. When the gardener has finished working you may be asked for payment in cash, this is not at all unusual. Once you have paid your gardener get a receipt, so there are no disputes about unpaid bills.
Always explain exactly what your needs are, a list of projects will make things clearer for the gardener. Most gardeners will be happy to offer guidance and advice on various aspects of gardening, make use of this help whenever you can. The removal of the waste that has been generated isn't something that all gardeners are prepared to do, make sure that yours does. Except when you have a use for it, such as building a compost heap with your lawn trimmings.
Working in the garden can get cold in winter and hot in summer, so spare a thought for your gardener and keep him/her supplied with a drink. These acts of kindness can go a long way and may even result in a better quality of job. By chatting with your gardener you can start to establish a friendly relationship, this should enable you to immerse yourself in their ideas and soak up some of their gardening knowledge. Most gardeners will not however want you standing over them all day nattering.
