Finding a Gardener in Southwick: Sorting out a dreary and overgrown garden is not everyone's cup of tea, so if you find yourself in this situation you should not be afraid to ask for some outside assistance. It's often easy to just bring in the "guy down the road" who does odd jobs and gardening on the side, but think carefully, would a proper gardener be a better choice? The problem is that "geezer down the street" will probably know very little about gardening, whereas a professional will have a wide spectrum of knowledge. You will have to decide what is best for your situation.
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. Make sure you locate a dependable Southwick gardener who'll do a real good job. If you have a garden containing certain trees and shrubs, the importance of this is even more apparent. Don't make do with any Tom, Dick or Harry, get yourself a decent gardener.
There is a seemingly endless list of jobs to be done in the garden, even if it is relatively small. These jobs will need doing more regularly in the spring and summer and perhaps not at all in the winter. People with gardens in Southwick most often want jobs done like weeding, general cleaning, hedge trimming and grass cutting. Most decent gardeners in Southwick will tackle other jobs such as waste clearance, garden fencing, driveway cleaning and laying patios.
Decent gardeners do not come cheap, the "guy down the road" might do your gardening for £10 or £12 an hour, but a professional will probably charge nearer to £20 per hour. Usually gardeners will not be happy doing just one hours work. To make it worthwhile and to make an impression, gardeners normally like to put in two to three hours at a time. They have to allow for other things such as disposing of your garden waste at the local rubbish tip, unloading tools and equipment, and actually getting to and from your home.
Be wary of "gardeners" who ask for payment in advance, no genuine Southwick gardener would do this. However, you might expect to pay a deposit for large jobs such as decking installation. Once the work is completed, it's not unusual for the gardener to ask for payment in cash rather than a cheque. Whatever kind of payment you and your gardener agree on, get a receipt to avoid later arguments.
At the outset explain to your gardener what your exact requirements are, a job list is also helpful in setting out your priorities. Don't be afraid to ask for advice, your gardener is the best person to tell you which plants are best for your garden. Check that your gardener will remove any waste such as lawn trimmings and branches, some do not. Unless of course you have a compost heap and want to keep it for that.
If you are at home while the gardening is being done, keep your gardener supplied with drinks. You may be repaid for thoughtfulness like this by a better service and a happier gardener. Pop out for a chat with your gardener from time to time so you can benefit from their ideas and keep a friendly rapport. You should not however take this to the extreme, and stand there chattering all day long, which will only hold up your gardener and make the job take longer.
