Finding a Gardener in Standon: If your garden in Standon is getting messy and you really don't have the time to keep it up to scratch, you should not be embarrassed to ask for some help. It's often easy to just bring in the "chap down the road" who does odd jobs and gardening on the side, but think carefully, would a proper gardener be a better choice? Whilst formal qualifications are not a requirement for gardeners, a professional is likely to have a wider range of knowledge than that "geezer down the road" and will have a reputation to uphold. Picking who is best for your garden is important.
If you cherish your garden you will want a gardener with some savvy, who appreciates what you have and looks after it correctly. So make sure you find a gardener in Standon who you can trust to do a good job. Even if your garden has only run of the mill plants you will want them looked after correctly. Take your time and get a proper Standon gardener.
Whether your garden is large or small, there will always be jobs that need attending to on a routine basis. It goes without saying that regular garden maintenance is needed more frequently during the spring and summer months with a decline in the winter. While the jobs that people in Standon need doing in their gardens are many and varied the most common are lawn mowing, general cleaning, weeding and hedge cutting. There are plenty more jobs that might need doing for example waste clearance, cleaning driveways, laying patios and fence repairs, most Standon gardeners will also be willing to tackle these.
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 road". You should anticipate your gardener needing more time than one hour is he/she is to get your garden looking good again. For it to be worth their while, gardeners generally favour doing 2 or 3 hours at a stretch. This is to allow for travel, unloading tools and waste disposal.
Payment in advance is not something that gardeners usually ask for, so be cautious if your gardener requires this. Exceptions to this rule could be in respect of large projects such as decking installation where considerable amounts of materials are needed. It isn't uncommon for a gardener to ask to be paid in cash, though only after the gardening work is completed to your satisfaction. Insist on getting a receipt especially where cash is involved, this will avoid any disputes about unpaid work later on.
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. Don't be afraid to ask for advice, your gardener is the best person to tell you which plants are best for your garden. Verify that any garden waste resulting from the work will be taken away, not all gardeners will do this. This should really be part of the service.
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. A gardener will always be appreciative of such kindness and will work even harder to show this gratitude. To keep a friendly rapport going with your gardener and to gain the maximum benefit from their knowledge, pop out for a chat whenever you get the chance. But you should not hinder their work with endless talking, they may rush to catch up and not do the job properly.
