Finding a Gardener in Oakleigh Park: When your Oakleigh Park garden starts looking rather droopy and under the weather, it is either time to get your gardening togs on or time to call in some expert help. Now, you might be tempted to bring in the "chap down the road" who you have heard does some gardening, or more sensibly contact a proper Oakleigh Park gardener. While you don't need horticultural qualifications to be a gardener, most professional gardeners in the Oakleigh Park area will have a lot more knowledge than that "guy down the street" is likely to have. The choice is yours at the end of the day.
You need your cherished garden to be given a degree of respect by whoever is looking after it. Therefore you should be careful that you choose a gardener in Oakleigh Park who can be relied upon. When you have a garden containing trees and shrubs needing expert care, this is even more important. Don't make do with any Tom, Dick or Harry, get yourself a decent 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. Such routine jobs will need attention more frequently at certain times of the year, in particular spring and summer. Among the most common jobs needing to be done in Oakleigh Park gardens are weeding, general cleaning, lawn mowing and trimming hedges. Most decent gardeners in Oakleigh Park will tackle other jobs such as garden fencing, waste clearance, cleaning driveways and decking installation.
Decent gardeners will come at a premium, so don't expect them to work for peanuts. Charges generally start at approximately twenty pounds per hour. You should anticipate your gardener needing more time than one hour is he/she is to get your garden looking good again. For it to be worth their while, gardeners generally favour doing 2 or 3 hours at a stretch. This is to allow for travel, unloading tools and waste disposal.
Be extremely suspicious of any Oakleigh Park gardener who requests money up front before doing the job. Payment of some money up front could be appropriate when bigger jobs are being done like hard landscaping. Gardeners will often prefer to be paid in cash, although only once the work is finished. Whether you pay by card, cheque or cash, insist on a receipt, this will prevent later disputes over payment.
Be clear what your requirements are before the gardener begins work, have a list of jobs that need doing. Make the most of having a specialist on hand and follow their guidance with regards to your choice of plants and shrubs. It might be sensible to verify that your gardener disposes of any waste materials as part of the service, not all Oakleigh Park gardeners do. Unless you need it for your compost heap in which case you might want to keep it.
Remember to keep the gardener supplied with drinks if you are around while the gardening is being done. Small things like this will help make the gardener happy in his/her work and a contented gardener may work harder on your behalf. Having a friendly rapport with your gardener is also important, so chat with them on a regular basis, discuss plans and bounce ideas off each other. Having said that, don't hold your gardener up by wittering on all day and preventing him/her from getting on with the job.
