Finding a Gardener in Oadby: If you have a garden that is looking tired and overgrown, the time has come to get it back in shape. If you are too busy or too idle to do it yourself you are going to have to call in some help. Though there are a number of people in Oadby offering gardening services, not all are necessarily suitable to be let loose on your prized garden. While you don't need horticultural qualifications to be a gardener, most professional gardeners in the Oadby area will have a lot more knowledge than that "fellow down the road" is likely to have. Perhaps this article will help you make your choice.
It is not too much to ask that any gardener treats your garden, plants and contents with a degree of respect. So take care to track down a local Oadby gardener who can be trusted to do a decent job. With gardens containing bushes, plants and trees requiring expert attention, getting the right gardener is even more critical. Don't settle for any old gardener, get a decent one.
Even if your garden is relatively small, there are a handful of jobs which need attending to on a routine basis. Gardener visits will generally need to be more regular in spring and summer, with jobs being done more frequently. As a rule lawn mowing, hedge pruning, weeding and general cleaning are the typical gardening jobs that need doing on a regular basis. Many gardeners will also be happy to take care of jobs like decking installation, garden fencing, waste removal and driveway cleaning
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. Gardening takes time and one hour will not be enough for most gardeners to make much progress on your garden. The majority will generally prefer to spend 2 to 3 hours on each visit. This isn't surprising when you appreciate that they have to get to and from your house, load/unload, and resposibly dispose of your waste at the local recycling centre.
Be wary of "gardeners" who ask for payment in advance, no genuine Oadby gardener would do this. An exception to this rule of thumb would be with more extensive tasks for example decking or fencing when being asked for a deposit for materials is quite normal. Once your garden is finished you should expect to be asked for payment in cash, because most gardeners prefer this. Agree on an acceptable form of payment before work starts and always get a receipt once the bill has been paid.
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. It might be sensible to verify that your gardener disposes of any waste materials as part of the service, not all Oadby gardeners do.
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. Acts of kindness such as this will make your gardener feel appreciated and he or she will work all the harder for it. Pop out for a chat with your gardener from time to time so you can benefit from their ideas and keep a friendly rapport. It is not however a good idea to pester them constantly which will have the effect of annoying them and slowing the work down.
Oadby Garden Design
Sometimes when searching for a gardener you will find people advertising as "garden designers" and for many this is a vocation in its own right. Your existing gardener may be able to help you with this or they might know somebody who can. A brief discussion about this aspect of gardening should soon establish if your gardener is willing to take it on. It could be that in the end you need to contact an expert.
Garden Clearance Oadby
Even though many gardeners will be prepared to do a certain amount of garden clearance in Oadby, a lot of them won't hold a Waste Carrier Licence, and will subsequently be restricted in the form and amount of waste they can take. If the amount of waste are minimal you might be able to dispose of a lot of it by using your council garden waste bin (if you've got access to one).
You'll possibly need to contact a certified garden clearance specialist, if like a lot of people in Oadby, you have a garden that's piled up with all kinds of garbage, and not merely green waste. You might also look into renting a mini-skip if you've got a substantial amount of waste in your garden. This would make it possible for you to dispose of not just garden waste, but perhaps also clear out your shed, your garage and possibly even you loft.
Generally logs, hedge clippings, plants, turf, shrubs, soil, twigs, wood chippings, lawn trimmings and tree branches, will be viewed as "green" waste.
