Finding a Gardener in Waltham Cross: Calling in some outside help to get your bedraggled garden back into shape, isn't something to be ashamed of if you never seem to have enough time to do it yourself. Now, you should be looking for the "right" kind of help in the shape of a professional gardener rather than the "fellow down the street" who puts his hand to anything. The chances are that "guy down the street" will not have much gardening knowledge, while the professional garder will probably have horticultural qualifications. This article may help you to decide.
Everyone likes their garden to be looked after properly and by a gardener who knows his/her stuff. Always try to track down a gardener in the Waltham Cross area who will do a good job and who can be trusted. You will come to realise that this is even more important when you've got trees and shrubs needing a higher level of care. Don't settle for less than the best.
Small gardens need routine attention just like larger ones and the jobs may be much the same but on a smaller scale. With the arrival of spring the frequency with which such tasks need attending to increases. The more commonly required jobs that need doing in Waltham Cross gardens are grass cutting, general cleaning, hedge cutting and weeding. Most decent gardeners in Waltham Cross will tackle other jobs such as waste removal, cleaning driveways, patio installation and repairing fences.
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 "bloke down the road". Usually gardeners will not be happy doing just one hours work. Most gardeners will have a minimum visit time of 2 hours. When you consider things like travel, tool unloading and re-loading, and taking your waste to the tip this is easy to understand.
Any gardener who asks for payment in advance should raise your suspicions, you want to see results before forking out any money. An exception to this rule of thumb would be with more extensive tasks for example fencing or decking when being asked for a deposit for materials is quite normal. When the gardener has finished working you may be asked for payment in cash, this is not at all unusual. Having proof of payment is essential to avoid quarrels about unpaid bills, so make sure you get a receipt.
Let the gardener know about your precise expectations before any work begins. Getting the full benefit of your gardeners expertise is something you should always seek to do. Ensure that the gardener will take away lawn cuttings, weeds and twigs afterwards, not all do this.
Gardeners are used to providing their own refreshments, but this shouldn't stop you from offering them a cup of tea or even a cold drink on a hot summer's day. These acts of kindness can go a long way and may even result in a better quality of job. Pop out for a chat with your gardener from time to time so you can benefit from their ideas and keep a friendly rapport. Constant interruptions should however be avoided.
Garden Clearance Waltham Cross
You'll find that some Waltham Cross gardeners will be able to do a certain amount of garden clearance, as long as there is only "green" waste and there's not too much involved. A limited number of gardeners in Waltham Cross might even have a "Waste Carrier's Licence", which permits them to take larger amounts and different types of waste. If the amount of waste are small you may be able to dispose of a lot of it using your local council green waste bin (if you have got access to one).
Obviously, a lot of gardens in Waltham Cross are piled up with all manner of junk, and not merely "green" waste, so for this form of clearance you will possibly need to bring in an authorised Waltham Cross garden clearance specialist. If you've got a significant amount of waste in your garden you might look into renting a mini-skip. This would enable you to get rid of not only garden waste, but maybe also clear out your garage, your shed and possibly even you loft space.
Typically "green" garden waste can be the likes of: lawn trimmings, hedge clippings, bushes, dead flowers, soil, twigs, turf, roots, logs and pruned branches.
Tree Surgery Waltham Cross
If needed, some gardeners in Waltham Cross will be prepared to do some basic tree surgery tasks, as the majority of them will have at least a reasonable knowledge of plants and trees. While for any major work it is best to use the professional services of a trained tree surgeon, for minor pruning and cutting back, your local Waltham Cross gardener should have all the necessary skills.
It isn't uncommon for trees to overgrow and get out of hand, creating a hazard to outbuildings or even your house. You should keep a close eye on any trees that are growing on your land, since their roots can also do harm to driveways, pathways, sewer lines and building footings.
