Finding a Gardener in Shard End: Nobody likes to see their garden looking a little the worse for wear, so fetching in some outside help is always a possibility if you can't find the time to spare. Now, you should be looking for the "right" kind of help in the shape of a professional gardener rather than the "geezer down the road" who puts his hand to anything. Whilst formal qualifications are not a requirement for gardeners, a professional is likely to have a wider range of knowledge than that "guy down the street" and will have a reputation to uphold. Picking who is best for your garden is important.
It is not too much to ask that any gardener treats your garden, plants and contents with a degree of respect. So, your main objective must be to find a trustworthy Shard End gardener who has a reputation for doing an excellent job. Some plants and trees need special care, in which case this is even more important. Never compromise, get yourself a decent Shard End gardener.
Even if you only have a small garden, there are lots of jobs that need doing on a regular basis. More frequent visits will be necessary in the spring and summertime and maybe none at all during the wintertime. The list of the most common gardening jobs will come as no surprise and includes the likes of mowing lawns, general tidying, hedge cutting and weeding. Most decent gardeners in Shard End will tackle other jobs such as waste removal, driveway cleaning, patio installation and garden fencing.
Good gardeners don't come cheap, a professional gardener is likely to charge you £20 per hour or more, while that "fellow down the road" might do it for £10 to £12 per hour. It would be unfair to expect any gardener to whip your garden into shape in just a single hour, so count on it taking longer than this. It's possible that your gardener will not be prepared to work for periods of less than 2 hours or more. Remember, they have to travel to and from your house, and maybe also get to the tip with your rubbish.
Any gardener who asks for payment in advance should raise your suspicions, you want to see results before forking out any money. If your gardener asks to be paid in cash after the job is complete, this is not something to be worried about and is normal within the trade. No matter if you pay your gardener with card, cash or cheque, ask for a receipt, you don't want any disputes or arguments about payments down the road.
Before work starts prepare a plan of expected tasks with the gardener, this will help them to live up to your expectations. The layout of your garden is something any decent gardener will be able to help you with, they will know which plants perform best where, don't be scared to ask for guidance. Make sure that all twigs, weeds and lawn cuttings will be removed and disposed of afterwards, certain gardeners don't do this. Unless of course you have a compost heap and want to keep it for that.
It never hurts to be polite to those working on your property, therefore you should always offer them a drink. Small things like this will help make the gardener happy in his/her work and a contented gardener may work harder on your behalf. Having regular discussions with your gardener helps you to keep abreast of the latest ideas, and also develop a friendly relationship. Most gardeners will not however want you standing over them all day nattering.
