Finding a Gardener in Porton: When your Porton garden starts looking rather droopy and under the weather, it is either time to get your gardening togs on or time to call in some expert help. It's often easy to just bring in the "bloke down the street" who does odd jobs and gardening on the side, but think carefully, would a proper gardener be a better choice? 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 "chap down the street" is going to have. This is a choice that you alone will have to make.
You certainly don't want your cherished garden to be in any way mistreated by an ignorant or uninformed "gardener" who is just in it for a buck. This means that finding a local Porton gardener who does a good job and can be trusted should be your aim. You will come to realise that this is even more important when you've got trees and shrubs needing a higher level of care. Don't make do with any old rubbish, track down a proper gardener.
Routine maintenance is the key with all gardens, whether small or large, with a seemingly endless list of jobs to do. It goes without saying that regular garden maintenance is needed more frequently during the spring and summer months with a decline in the winter. Among the most common jobs needing to be done in Porton gardens are general cleaning, hedge pruning, grass cutting and weeding. More involved tasks might include: waste removal, driveway cleaning, laying patios and garden fencing.
When hiring a professional gardener you are paying for his/her expertise, so expect to pay in the region of £20 for each hour worked. One hours work is not enough to make much impression on your garden, so you should reckon on them needing to spend more time than this. At least two to three hours work is often the minimum that gardeners will wish to put in each time. 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. It is quite normal for a gardener to request cash payment, rather than card or cheque, so make sure you have some to hand. Once you have paid your gardener get a receipt, so there are no disputes about unpaid bills.
Before the gardener gets to work on your garden make sure he or she is clear about your requirements, a list of expected tasks might help. Knowing which plants are most suitable for your garden's condition isn't always easy, so ask your gardener for advice on this. It is always a good idea to check if your gardener includes the removal of waste in his/her service, this is not always the case.
Working in the garden can get cold in winter and hot in summer, so spare a thought for your gardener and keep him/her supplied with a drink. Such kindnesses are much appreciated and will likely be repaid by extra efforts on your behalf. Pop out for a chat with your gardener from time to time so you can benefit from their ideas and keep a friendly rapport. Most gardeners will not however want you standing over them all day nattering.
