Finding a Gardener in Ruardean: 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. Though there are a number of people in Ruardean offering gardening services, not all are necessarily suitable to be let loose on your prized garden. The thing is that the "fellow down the street" will know how to trim your hedge and mow your lawn, but probably not much else, whilst a professional will have more in depth knowledge.
A gardener who knows precisely what they're doing will treat your garden with the respect that it deserves. Therefore you should be careful that you choose a gardener in Ruardean who can be relied upon. When your garden features certain shrubs, plants and trees needing particular care, this will be even more essential. Don't settle for second best, get a professional gardener.
Routine maintenance is the key with all gardens, whether small or large, with a seemingly endless list of jobs to do. These routine jobs have to be done more frequently throughout the spring and summertime. The list of the most common gardening jobs will come as no surprise and includes the likes of trimming hedges, general tidying, lawn mowing and weeding. Many quality gardeners in Ruardean will also be willing to assist with decking installation, cleaning driveways, repairing fences and waste clearance.
Professional gardeners do not of course come cheap and while the "chap down the road" may be happy to charge £10 to £15 an hour, a figure of £20 per hour is more usual for professionals. One hour in your garden is not very much and the average gardener will need to spend more time than that to get much done. It's possible that your gardener will not be prepared to work for periods of less than 2 hours or more. When you consider things like travel, tool unloading and re-loading, and taking your waste to the tip this is easy to understand.
Asking for money up front is not normal for gardeners (unlike builders), so be extra careful if they do. Once your garden is finished you should expect to be asked for payment in cash, because most gardeners prefer this. Make sure that you get a receipt, no matter what type of payment you agree on, this will avoid arguments down the line.
Make sure your gardener is clear about your requirements, give him/her a list of jobs before they begin. Your gardener will be there to give you advice and guidance on any aspect of your garden, so make the most of his/her knowledge. The removal of the waste that has been generated isn't something that all gardeners are prepared to do, make sure that yours does. A big pile of waste that you can't get rid of is not something that you want left in your garden.
It pays to be thoughtful and supplying your gardener with a drink or two will help his/her day along. Considerations like this will always be appreciated and will often result in a better standard of work. Having a friendly rapport with your gardener is also important, so chat with them on a regular basis, discuss plans and bounce ideas off each other. You should not however take this to the extreme, and stand there chattering all day long, which will only hold up your gardener and make the job take longer.
