Finding a Gardener in Pilsley: If your garden is in a bit of a state and you don't have the time to sort it out yourself, there is no shame in calling in some help. Think carefully before you hire someone because lots of people in Pilsley do gardening, some are professional gardeners and some just dabble. While it isn't necessary to have qualifications to work as a gardener in Pilsley, professional usually beat that "geezer down the road" hands down when it comes to gardening knowledge.
It should certainly go without saying that any gardener you hire should be informed enough to care for your garden and the contents within it. So, finding a trustworthy and reliable Pilsley gardener is something you should take care in doing. Some plants and trees need special care, in which case this is even more important. Don't settle for any old gardener, get a decent one.
Routine maintenance is the key with all gardens, whether small or large, with a seemingly endless list of jobs to do. Of course such jobs will be more regular during the spring and summer months. The more commonly required jobs that need doing in Pilsley gardens are weeding, general tidying, hedge pruning and grass cutting. Tasks such as fence repairs, laying patios, waste clearance and driveway cleaning are other things that your gardener will probably help you with.
Don't expect to get a decent gardener for peanuts, while that "geezer down the road" might only ask for £10 to £12 per hour, you're unlikely to get a professional for much less than £20 an hour. One hour in your garden is not very much and the average gardener will need to spend more time than that to get much done. Generally gardeners would prefer to spend a minimum of 2 - 3 hours to make it worthwhile. 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.
Any gardener who asks for payment in advance should raise your suspicions, you want to see results before forking out any money. However, you might expect to pay a deposit for large jobs such as landscaping. Ensure you have some cash to hand on gardening day because most gardeners prefer this kind of payment when they have finished. You don't want any arguments about payment in the future, so be sure to get a receipt.
Before work starts prepare a plan of expected tasks with the gardener, this will help them to live up to your expectations. 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. Taking away all the garden waste such as hedge clippings and lawn trimmings may not be included in the service, therefore you should establish whether your gardener will do this or not.
Gardening makes you thirsty so keep yours supplied with drinks if you're at home. Small things like this will help make the gardener happy in his/her work and a contented gardener may work harder on your behalf. Go out and talk to your gardener now and again to keep a friendly rapport going and also to pick their brains. It is not however a good idea to pester them constantly which will have the effect of annoying them and slowing the work down.
