Finding a Gardener in Salcombe: Sorting out a dreary and overgrown garden is not everyone's cup of tea, so if you find yourself in this situation you should not be afraid to ask for some outside assistance. Now, some Salcombe people choose to fetch in a professional gardener while others plump for the "geezer down the street" who tinkers around with gardens. The thing is that the "chap down the road" will know how to mow your lawn and trim your hedge, but probably not much else, whilst a professional will have more in depth knowledge.
You want your garden to be treated with respect by someone who knows exactly what they are doing. Thus, your primary goal ought to be to find a gardener in the Salcombe district who is known for doing a good job and is regarded as being dependable. When you've got shrubs and trees requiring specialist care, this becomes even more vital. Retain the services of the best you can afford and don't take chances.
Even if your garden is relatively small, there are a handful of jobs which need attending to on a routine basis. In spring and summer you should organise more frequent gardener visits as the jobs that need doing increase. The commonest gardening jobs that folk in Salcombe need doing are general cleaning, lawn mowing, weeding and hedge cutting. Most professional Salcombe gardeners will also help with decking installation, garden fencing, cleaning driveways and waste clearance.
Decent gardeners do not come cheap, the "guy down the road" might do your gardening for £10 or £12 an hour, but a professional will probably charge nearer to £20 per hour. It might be the case that your chosen gardener will need more than an hour to whip your garden into shape. Certain Salcombe gardeners will want 2 or more hours work each time they visit your garden. This is not excessive if you consider that they have to drive to your house and back and might need to take your waste to the local rubbish tip, which could be miles away.
It is not the norm for Salcombe gardeners to demand money up front, be very suspicious of anyone who does this. Payment in cash is not unusual for gardeners, though this will be requested after all work is completed and approved. Don't forget to ask for a receipt irrespective of if you pay by cash, cheque or card, having proof of payment prevents later quarrels.
Right from the start and before any work commences, ensure your gardener has a clear understanding of exactly what needs doing. In order for you to get the most out of your gardener, you should always be willing to ask for advice and help. If there is going to be a lot of waste produced by your gardener, double check they he/she will take it away afterwards.
It is polite to offer your gardener a drink or two throughout the day, they can build up quite a thirst with all that hard graft. These acts of kindness can go a long way and may even result in a better quality of job. 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. But don't hold them up with incessant chatter, this will only hinder them and may result in inferior or incomplete work.
