Finding a Gardener in Thriplow: If you have a garden that is looking tired and overgrown, the time has come to get it back in shape. If you are too busy or too idle to do it yourself you are going to have to call in some help. Now, some Thriplow people choose to fetch in a professional gardener while others plump for the "fellow down the road" who tinkers around with gardens. The problem is that "chap down the street" will probably know very little about gardening, whereas a professional will have a wide spectrum of knowledge. You will need to decide which gardener is most suitable for your requirements.
A gardener who knows precisely what they're doing will treat your garden with the respect that it deserves. So, be certain to locate a gardener in Thriplow who you know you can trust. When you've got shrubs and trees requiring specialist care, this becomes even more vital. Don't allow a cowboy to ruin your garden, hire a decent one at the outset.
Routine maintenance is the key with all gardens, whether small or large, with a seemingly endless list of jobs to do. More frequent visits will be necessary in the spring and summertime and maybe none at all during the wintertime. Typically weeding, lawn mowing, hedge trimming and general tidying are the more common jobs that folk with gardens in Thriplow need done. Most professional Thriplow gardeners will also help with fence repairs, waste removal, driveway cleaning and patio installation.
While that "fella down the road" might quote you ten to fifteen pounds an hour to "do" your garden, an experienced gardener will come at a considerably higher price (£20 per hour maybe). You shouldn't expect too much from your gardener on his/her first visit, because gardening takes time and dependant on the amount of work that needs doing, several hours may be required. The majority will generally prefer to spend 2 to 3 hours on each visit. If you think that this is just to stretch the job out, think again. They have to travel to and from your home, they have to unload mowers and garden tools, and they will probably have to load your waste onto their trailer and take it to a nearby rubbish tip.
If a gardener asks for payment up front you should be very wary, as this is not normal practice. Big projects such as patio laying may be an exception, because materials have to be bought and a deposit may be required. Of course gardeners often ask for payment in cash after the work is completed. You don't want any arguments about payment in the future, so be sure to get a receipt.
Always explain exactly what your needs are, a list of projects will make things clearer for the gardener. 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. It is always a good idea to check if your gardener includes the removal of waste in his/her service, this is not always the case.
Though usually a gardener will bring along a flask or bottle of water, it is nice to offer him/her a cup of tea while working hard on your garden. Considerations like this will always be appreciated and will often result in a better standard of work. Try to have a regular dialogue with your gardener, during which you can swap ideas, gain some knowledge and forge a friendly rapport at the same time. Don't overdo this though, because constant nattering will slow down the whole process and may put your gardener off returning.
