Finding a Gardener in Pitminster: Calling in some outside help to get your bedraggled garden back into shape, isn't something to be ashamed of if you never seem to have enough time to do it yourself. When you take the plunge and do this, be careful who you choose. Do you call the "fellow down the road" or an established local Pitminster gardener? Although many professional gardeners don't have any formal qualifications, they generally have more relevant knowledge than that "guy down the road" does.
Gardeners who know their stuff will have respect for your garden and treat it much as they would their own. Always try to track down a gardener in the Pitminster area who will do a good job and who can be trusted. If you've got trees, plants and shrubs needing special attention, this will become more important still. Don't make do with any Tom, Dick or Harry, get yourself a decent gardener.
Even if you've got a small garden, there will be various tasks that require attention in a routine manner. Such routine jobs will need attention more frequently at certain times of the year, in particular spring and summer. You'll not be surprised to learn that the most commonly requested gardening jobs are weeding, mowing lawns, hedge pruning and general cleaning. Jobs like decking installation, fence repairs, waste clearance and driveway cleaning are also something most Pitminster gardeners will tackle.
On the subject of price, this can vary with areas and gardeners, but charges of about twenty pounds per hour are normal and may be even higher. You should anticipate your gardener needing more time than one hour is he/she is to get your garden looking good again. In order for them to do all the neccessary work they may need to put in at least two or three hours. 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 cautious of anyone who demands payment for gardening services in advance. However, you might expect to pay a deposit for large jobs such as hard landscaping. When the work has been completed to your satisfaction it would not be unusual for your gardener to ask for payment in cash. Having proof of payment is essential to avoid quarrels about unpaid bills, so make sure you get a receipt.
Make out a list of gardening jobs that require attention and be transparent about your expectations before the work starts. Planning out exactly what goes where in your garden is important, the help and guidance of your gardener will help you to get it right. 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. Unless you want to keep it for your compost heap.
While most gardeners bring their own food and refreshments it doesn't hurt to ask if they would like a cup of tea or coffee while they are working. These acts of kindness can go a long way and may even result in a better quality of job. Having regular discussions with your gardener helps you to keep abreast of the latest ideas, and also develop a friendly relationship. But don't hold them up with incessant chatter, this will only hinder them and may result in inferior or incomplete work.
