Finding a Gardener in Ormiston: Nobody likes to see their garden looking a little the worse for wear, so fetching in some outside help is always a possibility if you can't find the time to spare. You could ask the "guy down the road" who does a bit of gardening or you could call on a professional Ormiston gardener. Although there is no guarantee that a professional gardener will have any recognised horticultural qualifications, he/she will almost certainly have a great deal more gardening knowledge than that "bloke down the street" is going to have.
It is not too much to ask that any gardener treats your garden, plants and contents with a degree of respect. Therefore you should be careful that you choose a gardener in Ormiston who can be relied upon. You will come to realise that this is even more important when you've got trees and shrubs needing a higher level of care. Get a dependable Ormiston gardener, not a "rogue trader".
Even if you've got a small garden, there will be various tasks that require attention in a routine manner. 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 Ormiston gardens are general cleaning, lawn mowing, weeding and hedge cutting. It is likely that your gardener will also help you with waste clearance, driveway cleaning, fence repairs and laying patios.
Professional gardeners do not of course come cheap and while the "chap down the road" may be happy to charge £10 to £15 an hour, a figure of £20 per hour is more usual for professionals. Generally a professional gardener will want to spend more than one hour on your garden. It is often not worth their while to do much less than two hours gardening at a time. They have to allow for other things such as disposing of your garden waste at the local rubbish tip, unloading tools and equipment, and actually getting to and from your home.
Don't pay any Ormiston gardener in advance of the job being done, this is not the norm and they may disappear with your money. After the completion of your garden it would not be at all uncommon for your gardener to ask to be paid in cash. To avoid the possibility of disputes in the future always ask your gardener for a receipt.
A list of required tasks will help your gardener to plan his/her day, clearly lay out you exact requirements at the start. Ask your gardener about your specific garden conditions and get advice about the best plants to grow to get the perfect results. If there is going to be a lot of waste produced by your gardener, double check they he/she will take it away afterwards.
Offer your gardener a hot or cold drink while they are at work and the use of a toilet is also helpful. Such kindnesses are much appreciated and will likely be repaid by extra efforts on your behalf. It helps to keep things friendly, so popping out for a chat every now and again will help to do this and also give you the chance to get some tips from your gardener. This is not to say you should stand there all day gabbing, this will merely hinder your gardener and stop him/her from doing their job.
Garden Design Ormiston
If you are fed up with how your garden looks and would like it to be altogether re-designed, you should not automatically assume that your gardener will be able to manage this. Certain gardeners in Ormiston will put their hand to anything related to horticulture, whilst others stick to the routine stuff. Discuss this with your gardener and see how they feel about it. If worse comes to worst you might have to call on an expert.
Tree Surgery Ormiston
Plenty of gardeners in Ormiston have some knowledge of trees in addition to plants and shrubs, and they will generally be happy to do a few elementary tree surgery tasks as needed. Though your neighbourhood Ormiston gardener should have the vital skills to carry out pruning and trimming, for any major work it is preferable to use the expert services of a trained tree surgeon.
It isn't out of the ordinary for trees to overgrow and get out of hand, creating a real danger to outbuildings or even your property. You should keep a watchful eye on any trees on your land, as their roots can also damage patios, drives, sewage pipes and footings. If you have suspicions that any trees on your property in Ormiston are causing problems, speak to your gardener first, because they'll likely be able to help.
