Finding a Gardener in Swannington: If your Swannington garden is in need of some attention and nobody in your household is willing to tackle it, don't be afraid to ask for a little help and assistance. Before you let someone loose on your prized garden you should consider the options. Should you call on a specialist Swannington gardener or the "bloke down the street" who has a go at anything? The chances are that "guy down the road" will not have much gardening knowledge, while the professional garder will probably have horticultural qualifications.
You need your cherished garden to be given a degree of respect by whoever is looking after it. So, your aim should be to find a gardener in the Swannington area who can be trusted to do a good job on your garden. When your garden features certain shrubs, plants and trees needing particular care, this will be even more essential. Don't make do with any Tom, Dick or Harry, get yourself a decent gardener.
The thing with gardens is that the jobs that need doing are routine, the same things need doing perhaps weekly, fortnightly or monthly. More frequent visits will be necessary in the spring and summertime and maybe none at all during the wintertime. The more commonplace place tasks that need doing in Swannington gardens are likely to be hedge cutting, grass cutting, general cleaning and weeding. The majority of Swannington gardeners will also be more than happy to deal with bigger tasks like driveway cleaning, decking installation, repairing fences and waste clearance.
Gardeners rates vary, but professionals will probably set you back around £20 per hour, with that "guy down the street" accepting perhaps £10 or £12 for the same time period. Don't expect miracles, especially on the first session, and count on it taking more than a single hour for your gardener to make much difference to the look of your garden. Generally gardeners would prefer to spend a minimum of 2 - 3 hours to make it worthwhile. Getting to and from your house, unloading and re-loading tools and equipment, and transporting your garden waste to the local tip are all factors that they have to consider before taking on a gardening job.
Asking for money up front is not normal for gardeners (unlike builders), so be extra careful if they do. An exception might be when a large job is involved such as patio laying when some money up front may be asked for. Once your garden is finished you should expect to be asked for payment in cash, because most gardeners prefer this. 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.
At the outset explain to your gardener what your exact requirements are, a job list is also helpful in setting out your priorities. Once your gardener starts you will have an expert at your fingertips, make the most of it and get plenty of advice and guidance. Some gardeners are not willing to dispose of all your garden waste, ensuring that yours will do this should be a priority. Being lumbered with a big pile of garden waste is not a good idea.
If you are at home while the gardening is being done, keep your gardener supplied with drinks. Small things like this will help make the gardener happy in his/her work and a contented gardener may work harder on your behalf. Go out and talk to your gardener now and again to keep a friendly rapport going and also to pick their brains. Don't overdo this though, because constant nattering will slow down the whole process and may put your gardener off returning.
