Finding a Gardener in Toddington: If you cannot spare the time to tackle your tired and dreary garden, you should not be reluctant to bring in some outside help to knock it back into shape. Now, some Toddington people choose to fetch in a professional gardener while others plump for the "guy down the road" who tinkers around with gardens. Though now and again you will find that "geezer down the street" has some reasonable gardening knowledge, a professional gardener in Toddington will generally be more qualified in horticultural matters. The final decision is of course yours.
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. Always be certain to get hold of a local Toddington gardener who can be counted on. Some plants and trees need special care, in which case this is even more important. Don't make do with any Tom, Dick or Harry, get yourself a decent gardener.
Even if your garden is relatively small, there are a handful of jobs which need attending to on a routine basis. Such routine jobs will need attention more frequently at certain times of the year, in particular spring and summer. People with gardens in Toddington most often want jobs done like trimming hedges, mowing lawns, general tidying and weeding. Additional tasks like waste removal, patio installation, repairing fences and driveway cleaning will also be within the capabilities of most experienced gardeners.
Gardeners rates vary, but professionals will probably set you back around £20 per hour, with that "chap down the road" accepting perhaps £10 or £12 for the same time period. You may find that your gardener will not be prepared to put in just an hours work. To make it worthwhile and to make an impression, gardeners normally like to put in two to three hours at a time. Travel to and away from your home, bringing in and taking away mowers and tools, and the responsible disposal of your waste all have to be factored in.
If a gardener asks for payment up front you should be very wary, as this is not normal practice. Exceptions can be made when large jobs like hard landscaping are involved, some money up front might then be appropriate. Gardeners will often prefer to be paid in cash, although only once the work is finished. Once you have paid your gardener get a receipt, so there are no disputes about unpaid bills.
Before the gardener gets to work on your garden make sure he or she is clear about your requirements, a list of expected tasks might help. 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. Verify that any garden waste resulting from the work will be taken away, not all gardeners will do this. This should really be part of the service.
Gardening is hard work, so remember to ask if your gardener wants a drink at some point during the day. These acts of kindness can go a long way and may even result in a better quality of job. 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. This is not to say you should stand there all day gabbing, this will merely hinder your gardener and stop him/her from doing their job.
