Finding a Gardener in Stanhope: When your Stanhope 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. Before you let someone loose on your prized garden you should consider the options. Should you call on a specialist Stanhope gardener or the "bloke down the road" who has a go at anything? Although many professional gardeners don't have any formal qualifications, they generally have more relevant knowledge than that "guy down the street" does.
Your garden is precious and you don't want it ruined by somebody who doesn't know how to appreciate it. Therefore you should take your time in finding a gardener in the Stanhope area who can be trusted. This is even more important if you have plants or trees in your garden which need specialist care. Don't make do with any Tom, Dick or Harry, get yourself a decent gardener.
The thing about gardening is that there are always jobs that need doing routinely, even on small gardens. You will need to book in more regular visits by your gardener in the spring and summer as these jobs pile up. In general hedge cutting, general tidying, grass cutting and weeding are the common jobs that people in Stanhope need doing in their gardens. The majority of Stanhope gardeners will also be more than happy to deal with bigger tasks like waste clearance, laying patios, fence repairs and cleaning driveways.
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. One hour in your garden is not very much and the average gardener will need to spend more time than that to get much done. It's not uncommon for a gardener to request at least two hour minimum visit times. The reason for this is that they have to allow time for travel, waste disposal and getting tools on and off their truck.
Asking for money up front is not normal for gardeners (unlike builders), so be extra careful if they do. When the gardener has finished working you may be asked for payment in cash, this is not at all unusual. Always insist on a receipt whether you pay by cash, card or cheque, proof of payment is important in case of any future arguments.
At the outset explain to your gardener what your exact requirements are, a job list is also helpful in setting out your priorities. It isn't always easy for you to know which plants will grow best in your garden, the advice of your gardener will be invaluable. Ensure that the gardener will take away lawn cuttings, weeds and twigs afterwards, not all do this. When they have done a good job of tidying your garden they should really take away the rubbish.
It pays to be thoughtful and supplying your gardener with a drink or two will help his/her day along. A gardener will always be appreciative of such kindness and will work even harder to show this gratitude. It's important that you and your gardener have a friendly relationship with each other. Pop into the garden for regular chats to discuss gardening ideas and plans. However, avoid incessant prattling which will only annoy the gardener and impede his/her progress.
