Gardener Shaftesbury

If you cherish your garden you will want a gardener with some savvy, who appreciates what you have and looks after it correctly. So, your main objective must be to find a trustworthy Shaftesbury gardener who has a reputation for doing an excellent job. Even if your garden has only run of the mill plants you will want them looked after correctly. Avoid settling for any old chancer, find yourself a decent gardener.

Large and small gardens alike need routine maintenance with various jobs that need attending to. The warmth of spring and summer increases the frequency with which these jobs need to be done. People with gardens in Shaftesbury most often want jobs done like hedge pruning, mowing lawns, general tidying and weeding. More involved tasks might include: cleaning driveways, fence repairs, decking installation and waste removal.

Regular garden maintenance can cost quite a bit of money because an experienced gardener will probably charge you something like twenty pounds per hour worked. Generally a professional gardener will want to spend more than one hour on your garden. It would not be that unusual for a gardener to have a minimum visit time of 2 to 3 hours. The reason for this is that they have to allow time for travel, waste disposal and getting tools on and off their truck.

You should be suspicious of any gardener who demands payment in advance. However, you might expect to pay a deposit for large jobs such as fencing or decking. Payment in cash is not unusual for gardeners, though this will be requested after all work is completed and approved. Remember to get a receipt whether you pay the gardener by cheque, card or cash, this negates later disputes.

At the outset explain to your gardener what your exact requirements are, a job list is also helpful in setting out your priorities. In order for you to get the most out of your gardener, you should always be willing to ask for advice and help. Getting rid of your lawn trimmings and hedge clippings won't always be part of the service so ensure that in your case it is.

Gardening is thirsty work, so don't forget to make a hot or cold drink for your gardener to keep his/her spirits up. These acts of kindness can go a long way and may even result in a better quality of job. Go out and talk to your gardener now and again to keep a friendly rapport going and also to pick their brains. However, don't follow them around all day, generally getting in their way and bombarding them with constant questions.
