Finding a Gardener in Portbury: You shouldn't be afraid to ask for some assistance if your garden in Portbury is in a bit of a mess and you don't really have the time to do it yourself. It is tempting to call on the "fellow down the street" who helps out your neighbour, or you could actually bring in a proper Portbury gardener. Generally speaking that "geezer down the street" will have very little gardening knowledge, while any self-respecting Portbury gardener be bursting with horticultural expertise. You will have to decide what is best for your situation.
You do not want your precious garden to be spoilt by someone who doesn't have to knowledge to look after it properly. Therefore you should take your time in finding a gardener in the Portbury area who can be trusted. The importance of this cannot be stressed enough, when certain shrubs and trees are involved. Don't put up with chancers, seek out a good gardener.
The routine jobs which need doing in the garden are likely to be much the same regardless whether your garden is small or big. As you can imagine the need for this regular maintenance is more necessary in spring and summer. As a rule trimming hedges, general tidying, weeding and mowing lawns are the typical gardening jobs that need doing on a regular basis. It is likely that your gardener will also help you with decking installation, garden fencing, waste removal and cleaning driveways.
Decent gardeners will come at a premium, so don't expect them to work for peanuts. Charges generally start at approximately twenty pounds per hour. Most Portbury gardeners will not want to do just one hours work. Many gardeners might even insist on a minimum visit time of at least two hours or so. This is to allow for travel, unloading tools and waste disposal.
It would not be normal for a genuine Portbury gardener to ask for payment in advance, so be wary if this happens to you. An exception to this rule of thumb would be with more extensive tasks for example decking installation when being asked for a deposit for materials is quite normal. Quite often a gardener will ask to be paid in cash once the work is complete and that is of course fine. Whether you pay by cheque, cash or card, insist on a receipt, this will prevent later disputes over payment.
Make sure your gardener is clear about your requirements, give him/her a list of jobs before they begin. Getting the full benefit of your gardeners expertise is something you should always seek to do. Some gardeners are not willing to dispose of all your garden waste, ensuring that yours will do this should be a priority.
Spare a thought for your gardener toiling away on your property with no facilities at hand. Offer them the use of your toilet and perhaps provide a drink. A gardener will always be appreciative of such kindness and will work even harder to show this gratitude. It is useful to always have a friendly relationship with your gardener, so try to have regular chats with him/her, sharing ideas and opinions. Most gardeners will not however want you standing over them all day nattering.

This would make it possible for you to get shot of not just garden waste, but perhaps also clear out your shed, your garage and maybe even you loft space.
