Finding a Gardener in Polstead: Bringing in some outside assistance to knock a tired and bedraggled garden back into shape is something many busy people have to do these days, especially after a long and blustery winter. 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 Polstead gardener? It will depend on exactly what you need doing, if it is just mowing your lawn then that "fella down the road" may be good enough, for more complex tasks, a professional will be more knowledgeable. The final decision is of course yours.
It is never a good idea to have somebody looking after your garden who doesn't know what they're doing. Make sure you locate a dependable Polstead gardener who'll do a real good job. This is particularly crucial when your garden contains shrubs and trees which require special attention. You shouldn't take any chances, hire the best gardener you can afford.
The thing with gardens is that the jobs that need doing are routine, the same things need doing perhaps weekly, fortnightly or monthly. It is essential to get these jobs done even more frequently when spring and then summer arrives. Among the most common jobs needing to be done in Polstead gardens are general tidying, grass cutting, hedge cutting and weeding. Most Polstead gardeners will also take on jobs like driveway cleaning, repairing fences, laying patios and waste clearance.
Getting your garden done by a professional isn't cheap and you are likely to be paying close to £20 per hour for the priviledge. You may find that your gardener will not be prepared to put in just an hours work. Most gardeners will have a minimum visit time of 2 hours. It is not just a case of working on your garden, they need to allow for travelling time and visits to the local rubbish tip.
You should never expect to have to pay any gardener in advance. However this could legitimately happen with bigger jobs like decking installation where money for materials is required. If your gardener asks to be paid in cash after the job is complete, this is not something to be worried about and is normal within the trade. Always insist on a receipt whether you pay by card, cheque or cash, proof of payment is important in case of any future arguments.
A list of required tasks will help your gardener to plan his/her day, clearly lay out you exact requirements at the start. Knowing which plants are most suitable for your garden's condition isn't always easy, so ask your gardener for advice on this. Not all gardeners like to take away the waste and lawn clippings, so check that yours does. You want to avoid being left with large quantities of garden waste that you cannot get shot of.
Offer your gardener a hot or cold drink while they are at work and the use of a toilet is also helpful. This type of kindness is always welcome and your gardener may show his/her gratitude by doing a great job on your garden. It's important that you and your gardener have a friendly relationship with each other. Pop into the garden for regular chats to discuss gardening ideas and plans. But don't hold them up with incessant chatter, this will only hinder them and may result in inferior or incomplete work.
Garden Design Polstead
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. Some gardeners have skills in this field while others prefer to get on with the routine gardening chores. Discuss this with your gardener and see how they feel about it. You might find that in the end you have to call in a specialist.
Garden Clearance Polstead
If you allow green waste and general junk to build up in your garden, the time will come when you will need to bring in a garden clearance specialist. A few Polstead gardeners will be prepared to do this, but unless they have a "Waste Carriers Licence", they'll be restricted on the amount of waste they can take. If the quantities of waste are minimal you might be able to get rid of a lot of it using your council green waste bin (if you have one).
You will most likely need to call a licenced garden clearance specialist, if like many other householders in Polstead, you have a garden that's heaped up with all kinds of trash, and not only "green" waste. You might also look into hiring a mini-skip if you have a substantial amount of rubbish in your garden. Taking this approach would enable you to perhaps clear out your shed, your garage and maybe even your loft space, as well as your garden waste.
"Green" waste would typically be thought of as items such as: logs, lawn trimmings, twigs, shrubs, roots, pruned branches, dirt, dead plants, hedge clippings and turf.
