Finding a Gardener in Upper Killay: If your garden is in a bit of a state and you don't have the time to sort it out yourself, there is no shame in calling in some help. It's often easy to just bring in the "fella down the street" who does odd jobs and gardening on the side, but think carefully, would a proper gardener be a better choice? The thing is that the "fella down the road" will know how to trim your hedge and mow your lawn, but probably not much else, whilst a professional will have more in depth knowledge.
Your garden is precious and you don't want it ruined by somebody who doesn't know how to appreciate it. This means that finding a local Upper Killay gardener who does a good job and can be trusted should be your aim. When your garden features certain shrubs, plants and trees needing particular care, this will be even more essential. Don't put up with "rogue trader" gardeners, choose a dependable one.
Those monthly, fortnightly or even weekly gardening jobs are often necessary even if your garden is small. It is essential to get these jobs done even more frequently when spring and then summer arrives. The list of the most common gardening jobs will come as no surprise and includes the likes of trimming hedges, general cleaning, weeding and mowing lawns. Other jobs that professional gardeners will usually handle include: driveway cleaning, garden fencing, laying patios and waste removal.
How much you pay depends on who you hire, the hourly rate for a professional gardener will be at least £20, while you might get away with £10 - £15 if you take a chance on that "geezer down the road". Gardening takes time and one hour will not be enough for most gardeners to make much progress on your garden. It's not uncommon for a gardener to request at least two hour minimum visit times. This is not excessive if you consider that they have to drive to your house and back and might need to take your waste to the local rubbish tip, which could be miles away.
Asking for money up front is not normal for gardeners (unlike builders), so be extra careful if they do. You might however expect to pay a deposit for materials with larger tasks such as patio laying. When the work has been completed to your satisfaction it would not be unusual for your gardener to ask for payment in cash. Insist on getting a receipt especially where cash is involved, this will avoid any disputes about unpaid work later on.
Make certain the gardener knows what your expectations are for your garden, job lists can help make everything clearer. 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. Make sure that all twigs, weeds and lawn cuttings will be removed and disposed of afterwards, certain gardeners don't do this. It is generally better for them to take it rather than cluttering up your garden.
It is customary to offer your gardener a hot or cold drink, though many bring their own refreshments. Such kindnesses are much appreciated and will likely be repaid by extra efforts on your behalf. By chatting with your gardener you can start to establish a friendly relationship, this should enable you to immerse yourself in their ideas and soak up some of their gardening knowledge. 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.
