Finding a Gardener in Olney: If your garden is looking overgrown and untidy you should think about calling in some help if you don't have the inclination or time to tackle it on your own. It is tempting to call on the "chap down the road" who helps out your neighbour, or you could actually bring in a proper Olney gardener. It is the job of any self-respecting gardener in Olney to have the necessary knowledge to look after your garden, while that "guy down the street" is just in it for a few quid on the side.
You certainly want a gardener who will treat your garden with respect and not cause it any harm or damage. Therefore you should take your time in finding a gardener in the Olney area who can be trusted. Even if in your trees and plants are pretty ordinary they still need to be handled with care and dedication. Don't make do with any old rubbish, track down a proper gardener.
There is a seemingly endless list of jobs to be done in the garden, even if it is relatively small. More frequent visits will be necessary in the spring and summertime and maybe none at all during the wintertime. The more commonplace place tasks that need doing in Olney gardens are likely to be grass cutting, weeding, general tidying and hedge cutting. The majority of Olney gardeners will also be more than happy to deal with bigger tasks like cleaning driveways, repairing fences, laying patios and waste clearance.
Gardeners rates vary, but professionals will probably set you back around £20 per hour, with that "geezer down the street" accepting perhaps £10 or £12 for the same time period. Generally a professional gardener will want to spend more than one hour on your garden. For it to be worth their while, gardeners generally favour doing 2 or 3 hours at a stretch. Travel to and away from your home, bringing in and taking away mowers and tools, and the responsible disposal of your waste all have to be factored in.
If a gardener asks for payment up front you should be very wary, as this is not normal practice. Having said that, a deposit for materials may be required for bigger projects like patio laying. It is quite normal for a gardener to request cash payment, rather than card or cheque, so make sure you have some to hand. Whether you pay by card, cheque or cash, insist on a receipt, this will prevent later disputes over payment.
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. It is nice to have an expert on hand to help whip your garden into shape, make sure you exploit their knowledge to the full. 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.
It is polite to offer your gardener a drink or two throughout the day, they can build up quite a thirst with all that hard graft. You may be repaid for thoughtfulness like this by a better service and a happier gardener. To keep a friendly rapport going with your gardener and to gain the maximum benefit from their knowledge, pop out for a chat whenever you get the chance. Don't stand there all day twittering on however, which only results in a frustrated gardener and an incomplete garden.
