Finding a Gardener in Seaham: 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. Should you hire a professional Seaham gardener or the "guy down the road" who does gardens cheap? Whilst a professional gardener might not necessarily have qualifications he/she will likely know considerably more than that "geezer down the street". You will have to decide what is best for your situation.
You want your prized garden to be treated with a certain level of respect by somebody who knows precisely what they're up to. So, finding a trustworthy and reliable Seaham gardener is something you should take care in doing. It is important that your plants and trees are looked after correctly, even if they are mostly run of the mill. Get a dependable Seaham gardener, not a "rogue trader".
The thing with gardens is that the jobs that need doing are routine, the same things need doing perhaps weekly, fortnightly or monthly. You will need to book in more regular visits by your gardener in the spring and summer as these jobs pile up. The most common jobs that people with gardens need doing in Seaham are hedge pruning, general tidying, mowing lawns and weeding. Many gardeners will also be happy to take care of jobs like repairing fences, driveway cleaning, decking installation and waste clearance
Don't expect to get a decent gardener for peanuts, while that "guy down the road" might only ask for £10 to £12 per hour, you're unlikely to get a professional for much less than £20 an hour. It is unlikely that any gardener will be able to achieve very much in just one hour. At least two to three hours work is often the minimum that gardeners will wish to put in each time. When you take into consideration travelling time, getting equipment on and off the van, and going to the local tip with your garden waste, this is understandable.
It would not be normal for a genuine Seaham gardener to ask for payment in advance, so be wary if this happens to you. Large projects like fencing or decking would be an exception to this rule, when a deposit for materials will be requested. When the gardener has finished working you may be asked for payment in cash, this is not at all unusual. To avoid any arguments later on, make sure you get a receipt no matter what kind of payment you agree on.
Be transparent about your requirements before any work begins, give the gardener a rota of tasks that you would like to be done. Make the most of having a specialist on hand and follow their guidance with regards to your choice of plants and shrubs. Verify that any garden waste resulting from the work will be taken away, not all gardeners will do this.
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. You can expect your gardener to very much appreciate gestures like this and to repay you with increased output. Go out and talk to your gardener now and again to keep a friendly rapport going and also to pick their brains. But don't hold them up with incessant chatter, this will only hinder them and may result in inferior or incomplete work.
