Finding a Gardener in Ventnor: 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. Now, you might be tempted to bring in the "fellow down the street" who you have heard does some gardening, or more sensibly contact a proper Ventnor gardener. The thing is that the "chap down the street" 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.
You definately need to get a gardener who knows how to treat your garden and its contents. This means that finding a local Ventnor gardener who does a good job and can be trusted should be your aim. Even if your garden has only run of the mill plants you will want them looked after correctly. Never compromise, get yourself a decent Ventnor gardener.
Even if you've got a small garden, there will be various tasks that require attention in a routine manner. These jobs will need doing more regularly in the spring and summer and perhaps not at all in the winter. The list of the most common gardening jobs will come as no surprise and includes the likes of hedge pruning, mowing lawns, general tidying and weeding. It is likely that your gardener will also help you with waste removal, cleaning driveways, fence repairs and decking installation.
Gardeners rates vary, but professionals will probably set you back around £20 per hour, with that "fellow 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. Most will want to put in at least 2 to 3 hours at a time to make it worth their while. 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.
You should be suspicious of any gardener who demands payment in advance. Quite often a gardener will ask to be paid in cash once the work is complete and that is of course fine. Agree on an acceptable form of payment before work starts and always get a receipt once the bill has been paid.
A list of required tasks will help your gardener to plan his/her day, clearly lay out you exact requirements at the start. The layout of your garden is something any decent gardener will be able to help you with, they will know which plants perform best where, don't be scared to ask for guidance. Make sure that all twigs, weeds and lawn cuttings will be removed and disposed of afterwards, certain gardeners don't do this. It is unfair to leave you with piles of garden waste.
It is polite to offer your gardener a drink or two throughout the day, they can build up quite a thirst with all that hard graft. Acts of kindness such as this will make your gardener feel appreciated and he or she will work all the harder for it. Pop out for a chat with your gardener from time to time so you can benefit from their ideas and keep a friendly rapport. 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.
