Finding a Gardener in Presteigne: 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. 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 many professional gardeners don't have any formal qualifications, they generally have more relevant knowledge than that "fella down the road" does.
Everyone likes their garden to be looked after properly and by a gardener who knows his/her stuff. Always try to track down a gardener in the Presteigne area who will do a good job and who can be trusted. Some plants and trees need special care, in which case this is even more important. Don't get stuck with rogues and cowboys, hire a proper gardener.
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. You'll not be surprised to learn that the most commonly requested gardening jobs are mowing lawns, hedge pruning, weeding and general cleaning. Other jobs like waste removal, cleaning driveways, decking installation and fence repairs are also within most gardeners remit.
The rates charged by professional gardeners varies widely but if you are paying an hourly rate of about £20, that is reasonable. You should anticipate your gardener needing more time than one hour is he/she is to get your garden looking good again. Most will want to put in at least 2 to 3 hours at a time to make it worth their while. 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. 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.
Let the gardener know about your precise expectations before any work begins. The layout of your garden is something any decent gardener will be able to help you with, they will know which plants perform best where, don't be scared to ask for guidance. Check that your gardener will remove any waste such as lawn trimmings and branches, some do not.
It pays to be thoughtful and supplying your gardener with a drink or two will help his/her day along. There is no telling what advantages may be gained by you for such little acts of kindness. By having a quick chat with your gardener every once in a while, you can pick up some tips while also building a friendly rapport. However, don't follow them around all day, generally getting in their way and bombarding them with constant questions.
