Finding a Gardener in St John's Wood: When your St John's Wood garden starts looking rather droopy and under the weather, it is either time to get your gardening togs on or time to call in some expert help. It is tempting to call on the "geezer down the street" who helps out your neighbour, or you could actually bring in a proper St John's Wood gardener. Although many professional gardeners don't have any formal qualifications, they generally have more relevant knowledge than that "fella down the road" does.
You certainly want a gardener who will treat your garden with respect and not cause it any harm or damage. So make sure you find a gardener in St John's Wood who you can trust to do a good job. You will come to realise that this is even more important when you've got trees and shrubs needing a higher level of care. Don't settle for second best, get a professional gardener.
The thing with gardens is that the jobs that need doing are routine, the same things need doing perhaps weekly, fortnightly or monthly. Of course such jobs will be more regular during the spring and summer months. The most common jobs that people with gardens need doing in St John's Wood are weeding, general cleaning, trimming hedges and mowing lawns. Most decent gardeners in St John's Wood will tackle other jobs such as cleaning driveways, patio installation, garden fencing and waste removal.
On the subject of price, this can vary with areas and gardeners, but charges of about twenty pounds per hour are normal and may be even higher. Certainly for the first visit you should reckon on your gardener needing more than an hour to get the job done. Certain St John's Wood gardeners will want 2 or more hours work each time they visit your garden. Remember, they have to travel to and from your house, and maybe also get to the tip with your rubbish.
If a gardener asks for payment up front you should be very wary, as this is not normal practice. However, you might expect to pay a deposit for large jobs such as garden fencing. Once your garden is finished you should expect to be asked for payment in cash, because most gardeners prefer this. You don't want any arguments about payment in the future, so be sure to get a receipt.
Before the gardener gets to work on your garden make sure he or she is clear about your requirements, a list of expected tasks might help. Your gardener is there to help you, so if you have any doubts about plants or their positioning, ask for advice. Not every gardener is prepared to remove all the green waste, it would pay you to verify that yours is happy to do this. It is unfair to leave you with piles of garden waste.
It never hurts to be polite to those working on your property, therefore you should always offer them a drink. This sort of kindness is always very much appreciated. 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. Do not take this to the extreme however, and impede their work with constant babbling, they may become frustrated and not do a proper job.
