Finding a Gardener in West Malling: If your West Malling garden is in need of some attention and nobody in your household is willing to tackle it, don't be afraid to ask for a little help and assistance. It's often easy to just bring in the "guy down the street" who does odd jobs and gardening on the side, but think carefully, would a proper gardener be a better choice? While a proper gardener may not have any qualifications he or she will know a bit more than that "guy down the road".
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. So, try to find a local West Malling gardener who is trustworthy and reliable. The importance of this cannot be stressed enough, when certain shrubs and trees are involved. Get yourself a good gardener, don't just settle for any old one.
There is a seemingly endless list of jobs to be done in the garden, even if it is relatively small. These repeat jobs will have to be done a lot more often in springtime and summer, dying off to nothing by winter. The more commonplace place tasks that need doing in West Malling gardens are likely to be weeding, mowing lawns, general tidying and hedge pruning. Tasks such as waste removal, repairing fences, cleaning driveways and decking installation are other things that your gardener will probably help you with.
While that "fellow down the road" might quote you ten to fifteen pounds an hour to "do" your garden, an experienced gardener will come at a considerably higher price (£20 per hour maybe). Most West Malling gardeners will not want to do just one hours work. Most gardeners will have a minimum visit time of 2 hours. When you take into consideration travelling time, getting equipment on and off the van, and going to the local tip with your garden waste, this is understandable.
Any gardener who asks for payment in advance should raise your suspicions, you want to see results before forking out any money. Exceptions can be made when large jobs like decking or fencing are involved, some money up front might then be appropriate. Don't be surprised if your gardener asks for cash payment, this isn't unusual, but of course only when the work is finished. Remember to get a receipt whether you pay the gardener by cheque, card or cash, this negates later disputes.
Be clear about your expectations from the very beginning, prepare a list of work you need doing. Don't be afraid to ask for advice, your gardener is the best person to tell you which plants are best for your garden. Verify that any garden waste resulting from the work will be taken away, not all gardeners will do this. A big pile of waste that you can't get rid of is not something that you want left in your garden.
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 is useful to always have a friendly relationship with your gardener, so try to have regular chats with him/her, sharing ideas and opinions. As with most things in life, moderation is the key. Keep chats short and to the point so that they can get on with what they are there for.
Tree Surgery West Malling
If necessary, some gardeners in West Malling will be prepared to do some basic tree surgery tasks, as the majority of them will have a basic knowledge of shrubs and trees. Whilst your local West Malling gardener should have the appropriate skills to undertake pruning and clipping, for any major work it is preferable to use the specialist services of a qualified tree surgeon.
Larger trees can rapidly become overgrown and cause hazards for your home and nearby electricity lines. You need to keep a watchful eye on any trees on your land, as the roots can also do harm to drives, patios, foundations and sewerage pipework. Have a chat with your gardener if you believe that any trees on your property in West Malling are causing problems, since they'll likely be able to help to remedy the issue, or know of someone who can.
Garden Clearance West Malling
While many gardeners will be able to do a limited amount of garden clearance in West Malling, most of them will not have a "Waste Carrier Licence", and will subsequently be restricted in the volume of waste they're able to take. If only relatively small quantities of waste are involved it might be possible to dispose of the majority of it by using your council green waste bin (if you have one), otherwise you will need some extra help.
If your garden in West Malling is heaped up with all kinds of trash, and not merely green waste, you'll possibly need to bring in a licenced West Malling garden clearance specialist, who will be accustomed to managing and recycling such waste. If you've got a good amount of waste in your garden you could look into renting a mini-skip. In addition to your garden waste, this will maybe also make it possible for you to have a good clear out in your garage, your shed and even your loft, if they are full of clutter too.
Generally logs, dead plants, turf, twigs, lawn trimmings, hedge clippings, dirt, bushes, tree branches and wood chippings, would be regarded as "green" waste.
