Finding a Gardener in Waltham Forest: 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 could call in a proper Waltham Forest gardener or you could try the "fella down the road". The chances are that "fella down the road" will not have much gardening knowledge, while the professional garder will probably have horticultural qualifications. Picking who is best for your garden is important.
You certainly want a gardener who will treat your garden with respect and not cause it any harm or damage. Always be certain to get hold of a local Waltham Forest gardener who can be counted on. When you have a garden containing trees and shrubs needing expert care, this is even more important. Avoid settling for any old chancer, find yourself a decent gardener.
Even if you only have a small garden, there are lots of jobs that need doing on a regular basis. Spring is the busiest time with jobs needing to be done more frequently than during the rest of the year. As a rule hedge trimming, general tidying, grass cutting and weeding are the typical gardening jobs that need doing on a regular basis. Other jobs that professional gardeners will usually handle include: cleaning driveways, repairing fences, waste removal and patio installation.
Expect to shell out something like £20 per hour for hiring the expertise of a professional gardener, the "guy down the road" will be a bit cheaper. Depending on the state of your garden it is likely that your gardener will need more than just one hour to make an impression. Most gardeners will have a minimum visit time of 2 hours. This is not greed or stretching the job out, but simply making allowances for travel, unloading and waste removal when necessary.
Payment in advance is not something that gardeners usually ask for, so be cautious if your gardener requires this. Many Waltham Forest gardeners favour payment in cash, very few will take cards, they will only ask after you have approved their work. Always insist on a receipt whether you pay by cash, card or cheque, proof of payment is important in case of any future arguments.
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. Establish that all of the weeds, lawn trimmings and resulting waste will be removed, they don't all offer this service. Unless you want to keep it for your compost heap.
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. You can expect your gardener to very much appreciate gestures like this and to repay you with increased output. It's important that you and your gardener have a friendly relationship with each other. Pop into the garden for regular chats to discuss gardening ideas and plans. But you should not hinder their work with endless talking, they may rush to catch up and not do the job properly.
