Finding a Gardener in St Neots: 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 "chap down the road" who helps out your neighbour, or you could actually bring in a proper St Neots gardener. While a proper gardener may not have any qualifications he or she will know a bit more than that "guy down the road". You will need to decide which gardener is most suitable for your requirements.
You want your garden to be treated with respect by someone who knows exactly what they are doing. So, finding a trustworthy and reliable St Neots gardener is something you should take care in doing. This is particularly crucial when your garden contains shrubs and trees which require special attention. Don't make do with any Tom, Dick or Harry, get yourself a decent gardener.
Whether your garden is large or small, there will always be jobs that need attending to on a routine basis. The warmth of spring and summer increases the frequency with which these jobs need to be done. Among the most common jobs needing to be done in St Neots gardens are weeding, hedge cutting, general tidying and grass cutting. Other jobs that professional gardeners will usually handle include: driveway cleaning, decking installation, waste clearance and fence repairs.
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. Generally a professional gardener will want to spend more than one hour on your garden. Most will want to put in at least 2 to 3 hours at a time to make it worth their while. 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.
If a gardener asks for payment up front you should be very wary, as this is not normal practice. This rule may not apply with larger projects such as hard landscaping when payment of some money for materials is normal. When the work has been completed to your satisfaction it would not be unusual for your gardener to ask for payment in cash. Remember to get a receipt whether you pay the gardener by card, cheque or cash, this negates later disputes.
Make certain the gardener knows what your expectations are for your garden, job lists can help make everything clearer. Make the most of having a specialist on hand and follow their guidance with regards to your choice of plants and shrubs. Removing and disposing of lawn and hedge clippings isn't always part of the service so make sure that your gardener will do this for you. You want to avoid being left with large quantities of garden waste that you cannot get shot of.
Spare a thought for your gardener toiling away on your property with no facilities at hand. Offer them the use of your toilet and perhaps provide a drink. Considerations like this will always be appreciated and will often result in a better standard of work. Having regular discussions with your gardener helps you to keep abreast of the latest ideas, and also develop a friendly relationship. Constant interruptions should however be avoided.
