Gardener Stanford in the Vale

It is not too much to ask that any gardener treats your garden, plants and contents with a degree of respect. Therefore you should take your time in finding a gardener in the Stanford in the Vale area who can be trusted. It is important that your plants and trees are looked after correctly, even if they are mostly run of the mill. Don't settle for less than the best.

The thing with gardens is that the jobs that need doing are routine, the same things need doing perhaps weekly, fortnightly or monthly. The frequency of visits by your gardener will increase throughout the spring and summer and may not be necessary at all in winter. You'll not be surprised to learn that the most commonly requested gardening jobs are hedge trimming, general tidying, weeding and lawn mowing. Other jobs that professional gardeners will usually handle include: laying patios, repairing fences, cleaning driveways and waste removal.

When hiring a professional gardener you are paying for his/her expertise, so expect to pay in the region of £20 for each hour worked. You shouldn't expect too much from your gardener on his/her first visit, because gardening takes time and dependant on the amount of work that needs doing, several hours may be required. At least two to three hours work is often the minimum that gardeners will wish to put in each time. Travel to and away from your home, bringing in and taking away mowers and tools, and the responsible disposal of your waste all have to be factored in.

Be extremely suspicious of any Stanford in the Vale gardener who requests money up front before doing the job. When the work has been completed to your satisfaction it would not be unusual for your gardener to ask for payment in cash. No matter if you pay your gardener with cheque, card or cash, ask for a receipt, you don't want any disputes or arguments about payments down the road.

Giving a clear understanding of just what needs doing before work begins, will better help your gardener meet your expectations. Don't be afraid to ask for advice, your gardener is the best person to tell you which plants are best for your garden. Check that your gardener will remove any waste such as lawn trimmings and branches, some do not.

Gardening is thirsty work, so don't forget to make a hot or cold drink for your gardener to keep his/her spirits up. Such thoughfulness will be appreciated and should ensure that your gardener does the best job possible. Building a friendly relationship with your gardener is always a good idea, it enables you to soak up a little of their knowledge and ideas. However, don't follow them around all day, generally getting in their way and bombarding them with constant questions.
