Finding a Gardener in Riding Mill: 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. Now, you should be looking for the "right" kind of help in the shape of a professional gardener rather than the "bloke down the road" who puts his hand to anything. Generally speaking that "chap down the road" will have very little gardening knowledge, while any self-respecting Riding Mill gardener be bursting with horticultural expertise. Perhaps this article will help you make your choice.
You definately need to get a gardener who knows how to treat your garden and its contents. So, try to find a local Riding Mill gardener who is trustworthy and reliable. Even if in your trees and plants are pretty ordinary they still need to be handled with care and dedication. Don't make do with any Tom, Dick or Harry, get yourself a decent gardener.
Gardens are all about routine maintenance, with jobs to be done fortnightly or monthly, even with smaller gardens. Gardener visits will generally need to be more regular in spring and summer, with jobs being done more frequently. The more commonly required jobs that need doing in Riding Mill gardens are general tidying, hedge trimming, weeding and grass cutting. There are plenty more jobs that might need doing for example decking installation, fence repairs, driveway cleaning and waste removal, most Riding Mill gardeners will also be willing to tackle these.
On the subject of price, this can vary with areas and gardeners, but charges of about twenty pounds per hour are normal and may be even higher. You may find that your gardener will not be prepared to put in just an hours work. It is often not worth their while to do much less than two hours gardening at a time. This is understandable when you factor in travelling time, loading/unloading, and waste disposal.
Trustworthy Riding Mill gardeners will never ask for money in advance, so be distrustful of anybody who does. Of course gardeners often ask for payment in cash after the work is completed. Once you have paid your gardener get a receipt, so there are no disputes about unpaid bills.
Be clear about your expectations from the very beginning, prepare a list of work you need doing. It is nice to have an expert on hand to help whip your garden into shape, make sure you exploit their knowledge to the full. Ensure that the gardener will take away lawn cuttings, weeds and twigs afterwards, not all do this. It is unfair to leave you with piles of garden waste.
Though usually a gardener will bring along a flask or bottle of water, it is nice to offer him/her a cup of tea while working hard on your garden. There is no telling what advantages may be gained by you for such little acts of kindness. To keep a friendly rapport going with your gardener and to gain the maximum benefit from their knowledge, pop out for a chat whenever you get the chance. But you should not hinder their work with endless talking, they may rush to catch up and not do the job properly.
