Finding a Gardener in Thurston: 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. Should you hire a professional Thurston gardener or the "fellow down the street" who does gardens cheap? While it isn't necessary to have qualifications to work as a gardener in Thurston, professional usually beat that "bloke down the street" hands down when it comes to gardening knowledge. Perhaps this article will help you make your choice.
Your beloved garden deserves to be treated with respect by someone who has pride in their work and the knowledge to do it properly. Therefore you should take your time in finding a gardener in the Thurston area who can be trusted. If you've got trees, plants and shrubs needing special attention, this will become more important still. Don't settle for second best, get a professional gardener.
Large and small gardens alike need routine maintenance with various jobs that need attending to. Spring is the busiest time with jobs needing to be done more frequently than during the rest of the year. Typical jobs that Thurston people need doing in their gardens include: weeding, general cleaning, grass cutting and hedge trimming. There are plenty more jobs that might need doing for example waste clearance, cleaning driveways, fence repairs and laying patios, most Thurston gardeners will also be willing to tackle these.
The rates charged by professional gardeners varies widely but if you are paying an hourly rate of about £20, that is reasonable. In order to make much difference to your garden, most gardeners will need to invest more than an hour of hard graft. Most gardeners will have a minimum visit time of 2 hours. You must take into account travelling time, loading and unloading equipment and visits to the tip with your waste.
It should never be necessary to pay your gardener in advance of doing the work, give short shrift to anybody who asks for this. More involved tasks like decking or fencing can be considered an exception, since expensive materials need to be obtained and quite rightly a deposit will be requested. Once your garden is finished you should expect to be asked for payment in cash, because most gardeners prefer this. Be certain to get a receipt from your gardener whether you pay him/her by card, cheque or cash.
Always explain exactly what your needs are, a list of projects will make things clearer for the gardener. Your gardener is there to help you, so if you have any doubts about plants or their positioning, ask for advice. Removing and disposing of lawn and hedge clippings isn't always part of the service so make sure that your gardener will do this for you. Unless you need it for your compost heap in which case you might want to keep it.
Working in the garden can get cold in winter and hot in summer, so spare a thought for your gardener and keep him/her supplied with a drink. 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.
Garden Design Thurston
It should not be automatically assumed that a gardener who mows your lawn or trims your hedge will be good at garden design. Not all gardeners who do routine maintenance will be skilled in the design area of gardening. See if your gardener is happy doing this. You might end up having to find a specialist.
Garden Clearance Thurston
You will find that certain Thurston gardeners will be prepared to do a certain amount of garden clearance, as long as there's only green waste and there isn't too much involved. A limited number of gardeners in Thurston may even hold a "Waste Carrier's Licence", which enables them to take different forms and larger quantities of waste. If the quantities of waste are minimal they might be able to get rid of most of it using your council green waste bin (if you've got one).
You'll most likely need to call an authorised garden clearance expert, if like many householders in Thurston, you have a garden that's stacked up with all manner of junk, and not just "green" waste. If you've got a largish amount of rubbish in your garden you might look into renting a mini-skip. This will make it possible for you to ditch not just garden waste, but maybe also clear out your garage, your shed and possibly even you loft space.
Typically "green" garden waste will be the likes of: lawn trimmings, topsoil, bushes, logs, weeds, hedge clippings, tree branches, wood chippings, twigs and turf.
