Finding a Gardener in Whitby: 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. That help should come in the shape of a professional Whitby gardener with a bit of experience, and not the "chap down the street" who knocks on your door and offers to jet wash your patio. Although there is no guarantee that a professional gardener will have any recognised horticultural qualifications, he/she will almost certainly have a great deal more gardening knowledge than that "chap down the street" is going to have.
You want your prized garden to be treated with a certain level of respect by somebody who knows precisely what they're up to. So, your aim should be to find a gardener in the Whitby area who can be trusted to do a good job on your garden. You will come to realise that this is even more important when you've got trees and shrubs needing a higher level of care. Get yourself a good gardener, don't just settle for any old one.
No matter what size your garden is there will always be jobs that require attention as part of a routine. The warmth of spring and summer increases the frequency with which these jobs need to be done. The more commonplace place tasks that need doing in Whitby gardens are likely to be weeding, lawn mowing, general cleaning and hedge cutting. Tasks such as repairing fences, driveway cleaning, waste removal and decking installation are other things that your gardener will probably help you with.
Experienced gardeners don't come cheap and if you are being charged around £20 per hour, that is about average. One hour in your garden is not very much and the average gardener will need to spend more time than that to get much done. It is often not worth their while to do much less than two hours gardening at a time. 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.
Be extremely suspicious of any Whitby gardener who requests money up front before doing the job. Payment of some money up front could be appropriate when bigger jobs are being done like garden fencing. After the completion of your garden it would not be at all uncommon for your gardener to ask to be paid in cash. Always insist on a receipt whether you pay by card, cheque or cash, proof of payment is important in case of any future arguments.
Let the gardener know about your precise expectations before any work begins. Any self-respecting gardener will be more than happy to help you get your garden in order, use this help and guidance wisely. Removing and disposing of lawn and hedge clippings isn't always part of the service so make sure that your gardener will do this for you. Except when you have a use for it, such as building a compost heap with your lawn trimmings.
Working in the garden can get cold in winter and hot in summer, so spare a thought for your gardener and keep him/her supplied with a drink. Such thoughfulness will be appreciated and should ensure that your gardener does the best job possible. 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.
Garden Clearance Whitby
You will find that many Whitby gardeners will be prepared to do a certain amount of garden clearance, providing that there's only green waste and there is not too much involved. A limited number of gardeners in Whitby might even have a "Waste Carrier Licence", which permits them to take different forms and larger volumes of waste. If the quantities of waste are relatively small you may be able to get rid of most of it by using your local council green waste bin (if you've got access to one).
If your garden in Whitby is piled up with all manner of junk, and not merely green waste, you'll possibly need to get in touch with an authorised Whitby garden clearance expert, who'll be accustomed to managing and recycling such waste materials. If you have a substantial amount of junk in your garden you might consider renting a mini-skip. This will enable you to ditch not only garden waste, but maybe also clear out your garage, your shed and perhaps even you loft.
Essentially bushes, roots, turf, hedge clippings, tree branches, weeds, soil, logs, lawn trimmings and twigs, will be considered as "green" waste.
Tree Surgery Whitby
Many gardeners in Whitby have a fair knowledge of trees along with plants, and they'll be delighted to do some essential tree surgery jobs when necessary. Although for any major work it is best to use the expert services of a trained tree surgeon, for minor cutting back and pruning, your neighbourhood Whitby gardener should have all the appropriate skills.
It isn't unheard of for trees to become overgrown, creating a real danger to power cables or even your house. The roots could also damage sewerage lines, foundations, driveways and pathways, so you should always keep close track of them. If you suspect that these or other issues are being caused by any of the trees in your garden in Whitby, speak to your gardener first.
