Finding a Gardener in Stradbroke: Sorting out a dreary and overgrown garden is not everyone's cup of tea, so if you find yourself in this situation you should not be afraid to ask for some outside assistance. It is generally advisable to opt for a professional Stradbroke gardener, as opposed to the "fellow down the road" who does a bit of gardening. 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 "bloke down the street" is going to have.
If you cherish your garden you will want a gardener with some savvy, who appreciates what you have and looks after it correctly. This means that finding a local Stradbroke gardener who does a good job and can be trusted should be your aim. You will come to realise that this is even more important when you've got trees and shrubs needing a higher level of care. Don't put up with "rogue trader" gardeners, choose a dependable one.
There is a seemingly endless list of jobs to be done in the garden, even if it is relatively small. In spring and summer you should organise more frequent gardener visits as the jobs that need doing increase. While the jobs that people in Stradbroke need doing in their gardens are many and varied the most common are hedge cutting, general cleaning, weeding and lawn mowing. Most decent gardeners in Stradbroke will tackle other jobs such as decking installation, repairing fences, cleaning driveways and waste removal.
Regular garden maintenance can cost quite a bit of money because an experienced gardener will probably charge you something like twenty pounds per hour worked. You may find that your gardener will not be prepared to put in just an hours work. For it to be worth their while, gardeners generally favour doing 2 or 3 hours at a stretch. When you take into consideration travelling time, getting equipment on and off the van, and going to the local tip with your garden waste, this is understandable.
Payment in advance is not something that gardeners usually ask for, so be cautious if your gardener requires this. An exception to this rule of thumb would be with more extensive tasks for example fencing or decking when being asked for a deposit for materials is quite normal. It is not unusual for gardeners to ask for payment in cash, but only after the work is done. To avoid the possibility of disputes in the future always ask your gardener for a receipt.
Make sure your gardener is clear about your requirements, give him/her a list of jobs before they begin. Make the most of having a specialist on hand and follow their guidance with regards to your choice of plants and shrubs. Check that your gardener will remove any waste such as lawn trimmings and branches, some do not. Give preference to gardeners who agree to take away all the garden waste.
It is customary to offer your gardener a hot or cold drink, though many bring their own refreshments. Keeping a gardener "sweet" with little acts of kindness like this may be repaid by increased efforts on their part. In order to benefit from his/her knowledge and to keep a friendly rapport going, pop out for a chat now and again. You should not however take this to the extreme, and stand there chattering all day long, which will only hold up your gardener and make the job take longer.
