Finding a Gardener in Stonehouse: If your garden is looking overgrown and untidy you should think about calling in some help if you don't have the inclination or time to tackle it on your own. Now, some Stonehouse people choose to fetch in a professional gardener while others plump for the "geezer down the street" who tinkers around with gardens. Although there is no guarantee that a professional gardener will have any recognised horticultural qualifications, he/she will almost certainly have a great deal more gardening knowledge than that "fellow down the street" is going to have.
You certainly don't want your cherished garden to be in any way mistreated by an ignorant or uninformed "gardener" who is just in it for a buck. Therefore you should take your time in finding a gardener in the Stonehouse 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. Hire a professional gardener and never settle for second best.
The routine jobs which need doing in the garden are likely to be much the same regardless whether your garden is small or big. More frequent visits will be necessary in the spring and summertime and maybe none at all during the wintertime. You'll not be surprised to learn that the most commonly requested gardening jobs are general tidying, weeding, lawn mowing and trimming hedges. Other jobs that professional gardeners will usually handle include: driveway cleaning, waste removal, garden fencing and patio installation.
Who you hire may be dependent on your budget and whilst that "chap down the street" might only charge you £10 to £15 per hour, a seasoned professional is going to set you back nearer to £20 for an hours gardening. It might be the case that your chosen gardener will need more than an hour to whip your garden into shape. The majority will generally prefer to spend 2 to 3 hours on each visit. When you consider things like travel, tool unloading and re-loading, and taking your waste to the tip this is easy to understand.
Respectable gardeners in Stonehouse would not dream of asking for payment up front for their services, therefore you should be very wary of anyone who makes this request. Big projects such as garden fencing may be an exception, because materials have to be bought and a deposit may be required. Once the work is completed, it's not unusual for the gardener to ask for payment in cash rather than a cheque. Whatever kind of payment you and your gardener agree on, get a receipt to avoid later arguments.
A list of required tasks will help your gardener to plan his/her day, clearly lay out you exact requirements at the start. Knowing which plants are most suitable for your garden's condition isn't always easy, so ask your gardener for advice on this. If there is going to be a lot of waste produced by your gardener, double check they he/she will take it away afterwards.
Remember to keep the gardener supplied with drinks if you are around while the gardening is being done. A gardener will always be appreciative of such kindness and will work even harder to show this gratitude. It is useful to always have a friendly relationship with your gardener, so try to have regular chats with him/her, sharing ideas and opinions. Occasionally is the key word with this approach however, don't hold them up by standing over them and nattering all day long.
Stonehouse Garden Design
When it comes to the re-designing of gardens it can pay to find a person who specialises in this area of horticulture. Your existing gardener may be able to help you with this or they might know somebody who can. The best way to find out if your gardener does garden design is to have a chat with them. Alternatively, you may just have to search for an expert.

You'll discover that certain Stonehouse gardeners will be prepared to do a limited amount of garden clearance, as long as there's only green waste and there isn't too much involved. A few gardeners in Stonehouse could even have a "Waste Carrier Licence", which enables them to take different kinds and larger amounts of waste. If the levels of waste are modest they may be able to get rid of a lot of it using your council garden waste bin (if you have one).
You'll most likely need to contact a registered garden clearance specialist, if like a lot of people in Stonehouse, you have a garden which is piled up with all sorts of rubbish, and not merely green waste. You might also look into renting a mini-skip if you have a largish amount of waste in your garden. In addition to your garden waste, this would perhaps also enable you to have a good clear out in your garage, your shed and even your attic, if they're full of clutter too.
