Finding a Gardener in South Hykeham: 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. Should you hire a professional South Hykeham gardener or the "geezer down the road" who does gardens cheap? Although there is no guarantee that a professional gardener will have any recognised horticultural qualifications, he/she will almost certainly have a great deal more gardening knowledge than that "bloke down the street" is going to have. That of course is a decision that you will have to make.
Having your garden treated with the respect it deserves is something your should be able to expect from any gardener. So, try to find a local South Hykeham gardener who is trustworthy and reliable. With gardens containing bushes, plants and trees requiring expert attention, getting the right gardener is even more critical. Avoid settling for any old chancer, find yourself a decent gardener.
The jobs that need doing on a routine basis are much the same with both large and small gardens in South Hykeham. In spring and summer you should organise more frequent gardener visits as the jobs that need doing increase. The most common jobs that people with gardens need doing in South Hykeham are general tidying, mowing lawns, trimming hedges and weeding. It is unlikely that your gardener will refuse tasks such as driveway cleaning, repairing fences, waste removal and decking installation.
Good gardeners don't come cheap, a professional gardener is likely to charge you £20 per hour or more, while that "fella down the street" might do it for £10 to £12 per hour. One hour in your garden is not very much and the average gardener will need to spend more time than that to get much done. In order for them to do all the neccessary work they may need to put in at least two or three hours. When you consider things like travel, tool unloading and re-loading, and taking your waste to the tip this is easy to understand.
It is not the norm for South Hykeham gardeners to demand money up front, be very suspicious of anyone who does this. Having said that, a deposit for materials may be required for bigger projects like decking or fencing. Ensure you have some cash to hand on gardening day because most gardeners prefer this kind of payment when they have finished. To avoid any arguments later on, make sure you get a receipt no matter what kind of payment you agree on.
At the outset explain to your gardener what your exact requirements are, a job list is also helpful in setting out your priorities. Getting the full benefit of your gardeners expertise is something you should always seek to do. Taking away all the garden waste such as hedge clippings and lawn trimmings may not be included in the service, therefore you should establish whether your gardener will do this or not. Except when you have a use for it, such as building a compost heap with your lawn trimmings.
Offer your gardener a hot or cold drink while they are at work and the use of a toilet is also helpful. There is no telling what advantages may be gained by you for such little acts of kindness. In order to build a friendly rapport with your gardener and to pick their brains for gardening tips, go out for a natter from time to time. This does not mean you should pester them with constant wittering which will simply hinter them and slow down the work rate.
