Finding a Gardener in St Osyth: 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. Should you hire a professional St Osyth gardener or the "fella down the street" who does gardens cheap? The problem is that "fellow down the road" will probably know very little about gardening, whereas a professional will have a wide spectrum of knowledge. Hopefully, reading this article will help you in your decision.
If you cherish your garden you will want a gardener with some savvy, who appreciates what you have and looks after it correctly. This means that finding a local St Osyth gardener who does a good job and can be trusted should be your aim. Even if in your trees and plants are pretty ordinary they still need to be handled with care and dedication. Don't get stuck with rogues and cowboys, hire a proper gardener.
Even if you've got a small garden, there will be various tasks that require attention in a routine manner. These routine jobs have to be done more frequently throughout the spring and summertime. The most common jobs that people with gardens need doing in St Osyth are hedge pruning, weeding, lawn mowing and general tidying. It isn't unusual for professional St Osyth gardeners to help you out with decking installation, driveway cleaning, fence repairs and waste clearance.
How much you pay depends on who you hire, the hourly rate for a professional gardener will be at least £20, while you might get away with £10 - £15 if you take a chance on that "geezer down the street". Usually gardeners will not be happy doing just one hours work. Many gardeners might even insist on a minimum visit time of at least two hours or so. This is not greed or stretching the job out, but simply making allowances for travel, unloading and waste removal when necessary.
Asking for money up front is not normal for gardeners (unlike builders), so be extra careful if they do. Big projects such as hard landscaping may be an exception, because materials have to be bought and a deposit may be required. Ensure you have some cash to hand on gardening day because most gardeners prefer this kind of payment when they have finished. Whatever kind of payment you and your gardener agree on, get a receipt to avoid later arguments.
Before any work commences make sure your gardener is clear about what needs to be done and has a plan of action to complete it. Your gardener will be there to give you advice and guidance on any aspect of your garden, so make the most of his/her knowledge. Establish that all of the weeds, lawn trimmings and resulting waste will be removed, they don't all offer this service. Unless you need it for your compost heap in which case you might want to keep it.
It is polite to offer your gardener a drink or two throughout the day, they can build up quite a thirst with all that hard graft. This type of kindness is always welcome and your gardener may show his/her gratitude by doing a great job on your garden. Try to have a regular dialogue with your gardener, during which you can swap ideas, gain some knowledge and forge a friendly rapport at the same time. 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.
