Finding a Gardener in Shillingstone: If you wake up one day and realise just how untidy and overgrown your garden has become, it might be appropriate to call in somebody to help you out, unless you can find the time in your busy life to tackle it yourself. It is generally advisable to opt for a professional Shillingstone gardener, as opposed to the "geezer down the road" who does a bit of gardening. It will depend on exactly what you need doing, if it is just mowing your lawn then that "bloke down the road" may be good enough, for more complex tasks, a professional will be more knowledgeable. If you don't know who to choose, keep reading.
You certainly don't want your cherished garden to be in any way mistreated by an ignorant or uninformed "gardener" who is just in it for a buck. Always try to track down a gardener in the Shillingstone area who will do a good job and who can be trusted. Trees and shrubs may require expert management, meaning this is more important than ever. Avoid settling for any old chancer, find yourself a decent gardener.
The thing with gardens is that the jobs that need doing are routine, the same things need doing perhaps weekly, fortnightly or monthly. 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 Shillingstone need doing are trimming hedges, general tidying, lawn mowing and weeding. Jobs like decking installation, driveway cleaning, garden fencing and waste clearance are also something most Shillingstone gardeners will tackle.
While that "bloke down the road" might quote you ten to fifteen pounds an hour to "do" your garden, an experienced gardener will come at a considerably higher price (£20 per hour maybe). You shouldn't expect too much from your gardener on his/her first visit, because gardening takes time and dependant on the amount of work that needs doing, several hours may be required. To make it worthwhile and to make an impression, gardeners normally like to put in two to three hours at a time. When you consider things like travel, tool unloading and re-loading, and taking your waste to the tip this is easy to understand.
Steer clear of gardeners who request payment in advance. Many Shillingstone gardeners favour payment in cash, very few will take cards, they will only ask after you have approved their work. Agree on an acceptable form of payment before work starts and always get a receipt once the bill has been paid.
Before any work commences make sure your gardener is clear about what needs to be done and has a plan of action to complete it. Your gardener is there to help you, so if you have any doubts about plants or their positioning, ask for advice. Removing and disposing of lawn and hedge clippings isn't always part of the service so make sure that your gardener will do this for you. Being lumbered with a big pile of garden waste is not a good idea.
Offer your gardener a hot or cold drink while they are at work and the use of a toilet is also helpful. Your gardener will be grateful for such kindness. It helps to keep things friendly, so popping out for a chat every now and again will help to do this and also give you the chance to get some tips from your gardener. However, avoid incessant prattling which will only annoy the gardener and impede his/her progress.
Garden Design Shillingstone
Sometimes when searching for a gardener you will find people advertising as "garden designers" and for many this is a vocation in its own right. Most regular gardeners in Shillingstone prefer to concentrate on the day to day garden maintenance, leaving design and such like to the better qualified. Check with your gardener to see if they do or do not manage garden design. At the end of the day it might be necessary to locate a specialist.
Garden Clearance Shillingstone
You will find that most Shillingstone gardeners will be ready to do a certain amount of garden clearance, as long as there's only "green" waste and there's not too much involved. A few gardeners in Shillingstone may even have a Waste Carrier Licence, which will permit them to take larger quantities and different forms of waste. If you've got a local council garden waste bin (you usually have to pay extra for these), you may be able to get rid of most of it gradually, if the amounts of waste are only small.
Of course, many gardens in Shillingstone are stacked up with all kinds of trash, and not merely "green" waste, so for this form of clearance you'll possibly have to get in touch with a certified Shillingstone garden clearance specialist. There are other possibilities you could think about if you've got a large quantity of junk in your garden, renting a mini-skip might be something you could look at. This would enable you to dispose of not just garden waste, but maybe also clear out your garage, your shed and perhaps even you loft.
Generally speaking "green" garden waste would be things like: logs, hedge clippings, plants, pruned branches, roots, bushes, twigs, dirt, turf and lawn trimmings.
