Finding a Gardener in Sidcup: 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 tempting to call on the "fella down the street" who helps out your neighbour, or you could actually bring in a proper Sidcup gardener. While you don't need horticultural qualifications to be a gardener, most professional gardeners in the Sidcup area will have a lot more knowledge than that "bloke down the road" is likely to have.
You do not want your precious garden to be spoilt by someone who doesn't have to knowledge to look after it properly. So take care to track down a local Sidcup gardener who can be trusted to do a decent job. Even if your garden has only run of the mill plants you will want them looked after correctly. Get a dependable Sidcup gardener, not a "rogue trader".
All gardens, whether large or small need regular upkeep and maintenance with lots of jobs to be done. Such routine jobs will need attention more frequently at certain times of the year, in particular spring and summer. Typically trimming hedges, general tidying, weeding and mowing lawns are the more common jobs that folk with gardens in Sidcup need done. It is unlikely that your gardener will refuse tasks such as waste removal, driveway cleaning, fence repairs and patio installation.
Good gardeners don't come cheap, a professional gardener is likely to charge you £20 per hour or more, while that "chap down the street" might do it for £10 to £12 per hour. Depending on the state of your garden it is likely that your gardener will need more than just one hour to make an impression. It would not be that unusual for a gardener to have a minimum visit time of 2 to 3 hours. Remember, they have to travel to and from your house, and maybe also get to the tip with your rubbish.
Asking for money up front is not normal for gardeners (unlike builders), so be extra careful if they do. It is quite normal for a gardener to request cash payment, rather than card or cheque, so make sure you have some to hand. Don't forget to ask for a receipt irrespective of if you pay by card, cheque or cash, having proof of payment prevents later quarrels.
Don't just leave them to get on with it, make sure your explain your exact requirements before they start. Your gardener is there to help you, so if you have any doubts about plants or their positioning, ask for advice. Ensure that the gardener will take away lawn cuttings, weeds and twigs afterwards, not all do this. Being lumbered with a big pile of garden waste is not a good idea.
It is customary to offer your gardener a hot or cold drink, though many bring their own refreshments. This is always appreciated by gardeners and they will repay you by doing an extra fine job. By having a quick chat with your gardener every once in a while, you can pick up some tips while also building a friendly rapport. However, avoid incessant prattling which will only annoy the gardener and impede his/her progress.
