Finding a Gardener in Thornford: Bringing in some outside assistance to knock a tired and bedraggled garden back into shape is something many busy people have to do these days, especially after a long and blustery winter. It's often easy to just bring in the "fellow down the road" who does odd jobs and gardening on the side, but think carefully, would a proper gardener be a better choice? 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.
It should certainly go without saying that any gardener you hire should be informed enough to care for your garden and the contents within it. So, finding a trustworthy and reliable Thornford gardener is something you should take care in doing. This will be even more critical for those of you with trees and shrubs in your garden. Don't settle for second best, get a professional gardener.
The thing about gardening is that there are always jobs that need doing routinely, even on small gardens. The frequency of visits by your gardener will increase throughout the spring and summer and may not be necessary at all in winter. Typical jobs that Thornford people need doing in their gardens include: mowing lawns, hedge pruning, general tidying and weeding. Many quality gardeners in Thornford will also be willing to assist with driveway cleaning, fence repairs, waste clearance and laying patios.
When hiring a professional gardener you are paying for his/her expertise, so expect to pay in the region of £20 for each hour worked. You may find that your gardener will not be prepared to put in just an hours work. At least two to three hours work is often the minimum that gardeners will wish to put in each time. You must take into account travelling time, loading and unloading equipment and visits to the tip with your waste.
Avoid any "gardener" who demands money up front, no trustworthy Thornford gardener will expect this. However this could legitimately happen with bigger jobs like fencing or decking where money for materials is required. When the gardener has finished working you may be asked for payment in cash, this is not at all unusual. Having proof of payment is essential to avoid quarrels about unpaid bills, so make sure you get a receipt.
Right from the start and before any work commences, ensure your gardener has a clear understanding of exactly what needs doing. Planning out exactly what goes where in your garden is important, the help and guidance of your gardener will help you to get it right. The removal of the waste that has been generated isn't something that all gardeners are prepared to do, make sure that yours does.
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. Don't be afraid to wander out and have a chat with your gardener when circumstances permit, this will help build a friendly connection with the gardener and encourage a sharing of ideas. Don't stand there all day twittering on however, which only results in a frustrated gardener and an incomplete garden.
