Gardener Riddlesdown

You definately need to get a gardener who knows how to treat your garden and its contents. Always be certain to get hold of a local Riddlesdown gardener who can be counted on. If you have a garden containing certain trees and shrubs, the importance of this is even more apparent. Avoid settling for any old chancer, find yourself a decent gardener.

No matter whether your garden in Riddlesdown is large or small the jobs keep piling up. These jobs will need doing more regularly in the spring and summer and perhaps not at all in the winter. The more commonly required jobs that need doing in Riddlesdown gardens are weeding, general tidying, mowing lawns and hedge cutting. Other jobs like patio installation, cleaning driveways, repairing fences and waste removal are also within most gardeners remit.

Professional gardeners do not of course come cheap and while the "chap down the street" may be happy to charge £10 to £15 an hour, a figure of £20 per hour is more usual for professionals. Gardening takes time and one hour will not be enough for most gardeners to make much progress on your garden. Visits spanning 2 to 3 hours are about the average for Riddlesdown gardeners. This is to allow for travel, unloading tools and waste disposal.

Asking for money up front is not normal for gardeners (unlike builders), so be extra careful if they do. Exceptions to this rule could be in respect of large projects such as fencing or decking where considerable amounts of materials are needed. Many Riddlesdown gardeners favour payment in cash, very few will take cards, they will only ask after you have approved their work. No matter if you pay your gardener with cash, card or cheque, ask for a receipt, you don't want any disputes or arguments about payments down the road.

A list of required tasks will help your gardener to plan his/her day, clearly lay out you exact requirements at the start. Any self-respecting gardener will be more than happy to help you get your garden in order, use this help and guidance wisely. 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. This garden waste can build up and at some point you are going to need to get rid of it.

Gardening is thirsty work, so don't forget to make a hot or cold drink for your gardener to keep his/her spirits up. There is no telling what advantages may be gained by you for such little acts of kindness. Don't be afraid to wander out and have a chat with your gardener when circumstances permit, this will help build a friendly connection with the gardener and encourage a sharing of ideas. This does not mean you should pester them with constant wittering which will simply hinter them and slow down the work rate.

Riddlesdown Garden Design

Garden design is considered by some to be a profession in its own right, and not everybody is good at it. For many Riddlesdown gardeners the routine tasks are their bread and butter and they prefer to stick to what they know best. A quick discussion should soon reveal if your gardener is comfortable dealing with garden design. Alternatively, you may just have to search for an expert.

Tree Surgery Riddlesdown

Plenty of gardeners in Riddlesdown will have a reasonable knowledge of trees as well as other plants, and they will generally be pleased to do some essential tree surgery jobs if needed. While your local Riddlesdown gardener should have the required skills to undertake trimming and pruning, for any major work it is advisable to use the professional services of a certified tree surgeon.

It is not unheard of for trees to become overgrown, causing a danger to electricity lines or even your home. The roots could also damage foundations, drives, pathways and sewer pipes, so you should always keep a keen eye on them. If you are concerned that these or other problems are being triggered by trees on your property in Riddlesdown, talk to your gardener first.

Garden Clearance Riddlesdown

While many gardeners will be able to do a certain amount of garden clearance in Riddlesdown, the vast majority of them won't hold a Waste Carrier Licence, and will subsequently be restricted in the amount of waste they are able to take. If you've got a local council garden waste bin (you typically have to pay extra for this), you might be able to dispose of the majority of it bit by bit, if the amounts of waste are only relatively small.

Not surprisingly, many gardens in Riddlesdown are piled up with all sorts of garbage, and not simply "green" waste, so for this form of project you will possibly need to get in touch with a licenced Riddlesdown garden clearance specialist. If you've got a considerable amount of rubbish in your garden you might also consider hiring a mini-skip. Adopting this approach would allow you to maybe have a clear out in your garage, your shed and perhaps even your loft space, along with your garden waste.

Generally speaking "green" garden waste would be things like: hedge clippings, soil, logs, turf, twigs, pruned branches, shrubs, wood chippings, weeds and lawn trimmings. (Tags: Garden Clearance Riddlesdown, Garden Clearances Riddlesdown, Waste Removal Riddlesdown).
