Finding a Gardener in Stotfold: Even though you may enjoy doing the gardening you can sometimes get so behind that it becomes overgrown and a bit of a mess. This might be the right time to bring in someone else to help you. It's often easy to just bring in the "guy 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 "chap down the road" and will have a reputation to uphold. Hopefully, reading this article will help you in your decision.
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. Always ensure that you locate a gardener in Stotfold who you can rely on to do a nice job. This is even more important if you have plants or trees in your garden which need specialist care. Don't settle for less than the best.
Gardens are all about routine maintenance, with jobs to be done fortnightly or monthly, even with smaller gardens. These routine jobs have to be done more frequently throughout the spring and summertime. Typical jobs that Stotfold people need doing in their gardens include: weeding, general cleaning, hedge trimming and mowing lawns. Many quality gardeners in Stotfold will also be willing to assist with driveway cleaning, repairing fences, patio installation and waste removal.
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. It would be unfair to expect any gardener to whip your garden into shape in just a single hour, so count on it taking longer than this. Many gardeners might even insist on a minimum visit time of at least two hours or so. This isn't surprising when you appreciate that they have to get to and from your house, load/unload, and resposibly dispose of your waste at the local recycling centre.
Payment in advance is not something that gardeners usually ask for, so be cautious if your gardener requires this. Paying a deposit for materials might be appropriate for bigger jobs like landscaping. It is not unusual for gardeners to ask for payment in cash, but only after the work is done. Remember to get a receipt whether you pay the gardener by card, cash or cheque, this negates later disputes.
Make certain the gardener knows what your expectations are for your garden, job lists can help make everything clearer. The layout of your garden is something any decent gardener will be able to help you with, they will know which plants perform best where, don't be scared to ask for guidance. It might be sensible to verify that your gardener disposes of any waste materials as part of the service, not all Stotfold gardeners do. When they have done a good job of tidying your garden they should really take away the rubbish.
Gardening is hard work, so remember to ask if your gardener wants a drink at some point during the day. There is no telling what advantages may be gained by you for such little acts of kindness. It helps to keep things friendly, so popping out for a chat every now and again will help to do this and also give you the chance to get some tips from your gardener. Having said that, don't hold your gardener up by wittering on all day and preventing him/her from getting on with the job.
