Finding a Gardener in Northampton: You shouldn't be afraid to ask for some assistance if your garden in Northampton is in a bit of a mess and you don't really have the time to do it yourself. Now, some Northampton people choose to fetch in a professional gardener while others plump for the "geezer down the road" who tinkers around with gardens. The chances are that "fellow down the street" will not have much gardening knowledge, while the professional garder will probably have horticultural qualifications.
You want your garden to be treated with respect by someone who knows exactly what they are doing. So make sure you find a gardener in Northampton who you can trust to do a good job. This is particularly crucial when your garden contains shrubs and trees which require special attention. Don't put up with chancers, seek out a good gardener.
The routine jobs which need doing in the garden are likely to be much the same regardless whether your garden is small or big. These repeat jobs will have to be done a lot more often in springtime and summer, dying off to nothing by winter. Most people in Northampton who have gardens will typically need tasks done like mowing lawns, weeding, general cleaning and trimming hedges. More involved tasks might include: waste removal, repairing fences, patio installation and cleaning driveways.
The rates charged by professional gardeners varies widely but if you are paying an hourly rate of about £20, that is reasonable. 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. Visits spanning 2 to 3 hours are about the average for Northampton gardeners. You must take into account travelling time, loading and unloading equipment and visits to the tip with your waste.
Be extremely suspicious of any Northampton gardener who requests money up front before doing the job. It isn't uncommon for a gardener to ask to be paid in cash, though only after the gardening work is completed to your satisfaction. Be certain to get a receipt from your gardener whether you pay him/her by card, cheque or cash.
Before any work commences make sure your gardener is clear about what needs to be done and has a plan of action to complete it. Knowing which plants are most suitable for your garden's condition isn't always easy, so ask your gardener for advice on this. 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. Give preference to gardeners who agree to take away all the garden waste.
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. Such thoughfulness will be appreciated and should ensure that your gardener does the best job possible. It's important that you and your gardener have a friendly relationship with each other. Pop into the garden for regular chats to discuss gardening ideas and plans. Don't stand there all day twittering on however, which only results in a frustrated gardener and an incomplete garden.
