Finding a Gardener in Whitburn: If you have a garden that is looking tired and overgrown, the time has come to get it back in shape. If you are too busy or too idle to do it yourself you are going to have to call in some help. Now, you should be looking for the "right" kind of help in the shape of a professional gardener rather than the "guy down the road" who puts his hand to anything. The problem is that "guy down the street" will probably know very little about gardening, whereas a professional will have a wide spectrum of knowledge.
Everyone likes their garden to be looked after properly and by a gardener who knows his/her stuff. So, your aim should be to find a gardener in the Whitburn area who can be trusted to do a good job on your garden. The importance of this cannot be stressed enough, when certain shrubs and trees are involved. Get a dependable Whitburn gardener, not a "rogue trader".
Large and small gardens alike need routine maintenance with various jobs that need attending to. Gardener visits will generally need to be more regular in spring and summer, with jobs being done more frequently. Typically hedge cutting, general tidying, weeding and grass cutting are the more common jobs that folk with gardens in Whitburn need done. Many gardeners will also be happy to take care of jobs like cleaning driveways, decking installation, fence repairs and waste removal
Gardeners rates vary, but professionals will probably set you back around £20 per hour, with that "guy down the street" accepting perhaps £10 or £12 for the same time period. You should anticipate your gardener needing more time than one hour is he/she is to get your garden looking good again. You might find that your gardener will not be interested in visits of less than two hours. Getting to and from your house, unloading and re-loading tools and equipment, and transporting your garden waste to the local tip are all factors that they have to consider before taking on a gardening job.
Payment in advance is not something that gardeners usually ask for, so be cautious if your gardener requires this. Don't be surprised if your gardener asks for cash payment, this isn't unusual, but of course only when the work is finished. No matter what form of payment you agree on, be sure to get a receipt so there are no arguments later on.
Prior to work commencing give the gardener a clear picture of what you're expecting to be done. Make the most of having a specialist on hand and follow their guidance with regards to your choice of plants and shrubs. It is always a good idea to check if your gardener includes the removal of waste in his/her service, this is not always the case. Unless you have a garden waste bin and you can fit it in that.
Though usually a gardener will bring along a flask or bottle of water, it is nice to offer him/her a cup of tea while working hard on your garden. You may be repaid for thoughtfulness like this by a better service and a happier gardener. To keep a friendly rapport going with your gardener and to gain the maximum benefit from their knowledge, pop out for a chat whenever you get the chance. This doesn't mean you should stay there chattering all day though, you will be simply delaying their progress.
