Finding a Gardener in St Giles: If your garden is in a bit of a state and you don't have the time to sort it out yourself, there is no shame in calling in some help. Now you could call in a proper St Giles gardener or you could try the "chap down the street". While a proper gardener may not have any qualifications he or she will know a bit more than that "guy down the road".
You need your cherished garden to be given a degree of respect by whoever is looking after it. Make sure you locate a dependable St Giles gardener who'll do a real good job. This is especially important if you have trees and shrubs, which need proper care and attention. Don't settle for any old gardener, get a decent one.
The routine jobs which need doing in the garden are likely to be much the same regardless whether your garden is small or big. The frequency of visits by your gardener will increase throughout the spring and summer and may not be necessary at all in winter. Commonly general cleaning, mowing lawns, weeding and hedge cutting are the gardening tasks that people in St Giles need done. Bigger tasks such as waste removal, patio installation, cleaning driveways and fence repairs can also be handled by the majority of gardeners.
While that "fellow 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). 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. Certain St Giles gardeners will want 2 or more hours work each time they visit your garden. If you think that this is just to stretch the job out, think again. They have to travel to and from your home, they have to unload mowers and garden tools, and they will probably have to load your waste onto their trailer and take it to a nearby rubbish tip.
Be wary of "gardeners" who ask for payment in advance, no genuine St Giles gardener would do this. An exception to this rule of thumb would be with more extensive tasks for example fencing or decking when being asked for a deposit for materials is quite normal. Once the work is completed, it's not unusual for the gardener to ask for payment in cash rather than a cheque. Make sure that you get a receipt, no matter what type of payment you agree on, this will avoid arguments down the line.
Make out a list of gardening jobs that require attention and be transparent about your expectations before the work starts. Any decent St Giles gardener will be more than willing to share their knowledge of plants and shrubs, use their guidance to choose what is best for your garden. Getting rid of your lawn trimmings and hedge clippings won't always be part of the service so ensure that in your case it is. When they have done a good job of tidying your garden they should really take away the rubbish.
Gardeners are used to providing their own refreshments, but this shouldn't stop you from offering them a cup of tea or even a cold drink on a hot summer's day. You can expect your gardener to very much appreciate gestures like this and to repay you with increased output. So that you can forge a friendly relationship with your gardener it is often a nice idea to pop out for a chat now and again. This also helps you to gain some additional gardening knowhow and useful tips. In doing this, don't prevent them from getting on with their work, because this will make the job take longer and cost you more money in the long run.
Garden Clearance St Giles
You'll find that some St Giles gardeners will be able to do a certain amount of garden clearance, as long as there is only green waste and there isn't too much involved. A few gardeners in St Giles will even have a "Waste Carrier Licence", which permits them to take different types and larger amounts of waste. If you have a council green waste bin (you normally pay extra for this), you may be able to dispose of most of it bit by bit, if the amounts of waste are only modest.
You'll most likely have to bring in a certified garden clearance expert, if like many property owners in St Giles, you've got a garden that's stacked up with all kinds of junk, and not only "green" waste. If you've got a substantial amount of junk in your garden you might also consider renting a mini-skip. Adopting this route will allow you to perhaps clear out your shed, your garage and possibly even your loft, as well as your garden waste.
In general "green" garden waste could be the likes of: hedge clippings, lawn trimmings, pruned branches, soil, sawdust, bushes, turf, twigs, dead flowers and logs.
Garden Design St Giles
When it comes to the re-designing of gardens it can pay to find a person who specialises in this area of horticulture. Your existing gardener may be able to help you with this or they might know somebody who can. A quick discussion should soon reveal if your gardener is comfortable dealing with garden design. Otherwise it will simply be a case of finding a specialist in this field.
