Finding a Gardener in Ripon: Even though you may enjoy doing the gardening you can sometimes get so behind that it becomes overgrown and a bit of a mess. This might be the right time to bring in someone else to help you. It is tempting to call on the "fella down the road" who helps out your neighbour, or you could actually bring in a proper Ripon gardener. It will depend on exactly what you need doing, if it is just mowing your lawn then that "fellow down the street" may be good enough, for more complex tasks, a professional will be more knowledgeable. At the end of the day you will have to choose.
You definately need to get a gardener who knows how to treat your garden and its contents. So, your aim should be to find a gardener in the Ripon area who can be trusted to do a good job on your garden. Trees and shrubs may require expert management, meaning this is more important than ever. Don't put up with "rogue trader" gardeners, choose a dependable one.
The thing about gardening is that there are always jobs that need doing routinely, even on small gardens. It goes without saying that regular garden maintenance is needed more frequently during the spring and summer months with a decline in the winter. Typically people with gardens in Ripon need jobs done like mowing lawns, hedge pruning, general tidying and weeding. More involved tasks might include: fence repairs, waste removal, decking installation and driveway cleaning.
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. Gardening takes time and one hour will not be enough for most gardeners to make much progress on your garden. Generally gardeners would prefer to spend a minimum of 2 - 3 hours to make it worthwhile. Travel to and away from your home, bringing in and taking away mowers and tools, and the responsible disposal of your waste all have to be factored in.
Give short shrift to any Ripon gardener who expects to be paid up front before doing any work. Large projects like hard landscaping would be an exception to this rule, when a deposit for materials will be requested. When the work has been completed to your satisfaction it would not be unusual for your gardener to ask for payment in cash. Don't forget to ask for a receipt irrespective of if you pay by cash, card or cheque, having proof of payment prevents later quarrels.
Be transparent about your requirements before any work begins, give the gardener a rota of tasks that you would like to be done. Any self-respecting gardener will be more than happy to help you get your garden in order, use this help and guidance wisely. The removal of the waste that has been generated isn't something that all gardeners are prepared to do, make sure that yours does. Unless you need it for your compost heap in which case you might want to keep it.
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. Considerations like this will always be appreciated and will often result in a better standard of work. 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. Having said that, don't hold your gardener up by wittering on all day and preventing him/her from getting on with the job.
