Gardener Thatcham

It's doubtful you'll have that much trouble locating a decent Thatcham gardener to help you with a variety of gardening tasks, including such chores as mowing the lawn, dead-heading, weeding, cleaning your driveway, planting and trimming your hedges. To tackle these regular gardening tasks successfully by yourself, isn't just a case of you having the spare time for the work, but also if you have the correct equipment to hand at any specific moment. Apart from smaller tools like hoes, forks, spades and secateurs, to cut your hedges back you will need hedge clippers, to clean the driveway you'll need a high pressure washer and to mow the grass you will need a lawn mower. Every Thatcham gardener worth hiring, will have all of this gardening equipment and plenty more besides, meaning that this is one thing less for you to worry about.

Even for green fingered people in Thatcham who are OK at gardening, and are fortunate enough to have the desire and time to look after their garden, there will probably come a time where they need a little help with more difficult gardening assignments. You might be searching for someone to do a bit of landscaping and take away all the waste materials that result from this, or maybe you are planning to have a garden makeover and need to call on a professional who can completely overhaul its configuration. Hiring an experienced Thatcham gardener won't only make sure that the task is carried out properly but will also save you a good deal of time and energy.

There are many aspects to gardening, and concerns like what style of garden best fits your lifestyle, how your garden should be aligned and what plants and flowers will successfully grow in your soil type, all fall within the expertise of a competent Thatcham gardener. Shelling out a significant amount of your hard earned cash on a splendidly planted and landscaped garden, is money wasted if you haven't got the time to maintain it.

If you're intending to tend your own garden, you're better off having a design and layout which is fairly low-maintenance except when you've a lot of time and energy to commit to it. If not, hiring a professional gardener to do routine maintenance will be necessary.

Age UK Gardening Service: Age UK sometimes offer a gardening service for elderly garden owners in Thatcham, with DBS checked and approved tradespeople available. Don't think for one minute however that this service is free, because Age UK charge approximately £20-25 per hour, and some of this fee goes straight to the charity. The aim of Age UK's gardening service is to provide basic garden maintenance only, larger projects such as landscaping, tree surgery and waste removal are not generally included. Chores that are included will be things such as:

• Pruning/Trimming.
• Laying Compost.
• Potting.
• Sweeping Dead Leaves.
• Cutting Back.
• Weeding.
• General Tidying.
• Lawn Mowing.
• Digging.
• Bulb Planting.

The number of hours required to keep your garden in fine fettle is another factor that you'll need to give some thought to. This may be more time than you imagined, therefore you should have a chat with potential gardeners before hiring anybody. You may be thinking that an hour or two each week will be sufficient to keep your garden looking good, however unless you've got a fairly small garden, more hours might be needed (at least initially). Should you only work upon your garden for that period of time you would fairly quickly think it's looking neglected and uncared for. So, bear these points in mind when you're chatting with your gardener about time, and realise that in order to get a good outcome, some skill, effort and time will be necessary.

Although qualifications are not something that the vast majority of Thatcham gardeners will possess, you could be fortunate and bump into a rare one that is properly trained. Among the qualifications they may have include certificates from the Royal Horticulture Society which many budding gardeners can take on a part-time basis whilst working and gaining practical experience. There are usually also options within gardening firms for workers to acquire City and Guilds (Level Two and Three). Other ambitious Thatcham gardeners may have found their way into the profession via an apprenticeship, and attained qualifications and experience in this manner. Clearly, accreditations and qualifications won't be a significant issue if all you need is your hedge trimmed or your lawn mowed.

To protect both themselves and their customers in case of accidents or mishaps, any competent gardener in Thatcham who's charging money for their services ought to have some sort of public liability insurance. Now, you probably feel that working on a garden is a leisurely undertaking and that gardeners are not inclined to have accidents, but sadly that couldn't be further from the truth. When you consider that gardeners could be faced with thorny shrubs, loose tree branches and stinging insects, and may be using sharp tools like secateurs, hedge clippers and chainsaws, it's easy to see how accidents can happen.

With that in mind, the need for a decent level of insurance cover for any professional Thatcham gardener is something you will now understand, and it's recommended that you ask for evidence of this before you employ anybody. It doesn't matter whether you're using a sizeable gardening company or a solo gardener in Thatcham, you still need to ensure that their public liability insurance is enough for both incidents that may happen to them whilst they are working on your garden and damage that they may inflict on your home or premises. Most gardeners public liability policies will have about £1 mill - £5 mill worth of coverage.

If you've long wished for a garden to be proud of, but have never managed to find the time to do this, you could bring in a local Thatcham gardener, who will help make your dreams a reality. Simply tell him/her exactly what you would like and leave them to weave their magic. Most experienced gardeners will be more than willing to give you advice about what designs will suit your garden, what sort of plants and shrubs you should have and how to maintain it so it will always look awesome.

Patio Cleaning Thatcham

If you have a concrete patio, you can clean it with a mixture of Jeyes or Ajax. These household cleaning products can be purchased at home supply stores. Follow the directions on the container to apply the solution on your patio's surface. Using a stiff brush, scrub the area with the mixture.

Before applying the mixture, you should move any plants from the patio's edge. This way, the solution won't harm them. However, it might kill weeds. If you have a garden containing flowers, you should cover them up or move them to a different area. You can also use this solution on weeds and other unwanted plants.

If you use chlorine bleach, you need to be careful while applying it to your patio. Be sure to wear protective clothing and goggles to avoid any eye or skin irritation. Bleach is a powerful chemical and should only be applied to the patio after a couple of hours. If you can't wait, you can use brown soap instead. It is less aggressive and safer than chemical cleaning solutions.

You can also use baking soda to remove organic stains. For instance, you can mix one cup of baking soda with one gallon of water and let it sit for 30 minutes. This solution will lift stains like dog urine or food splatter. Use a long-handled brush to apply the mixture to the affected areas. After twenty minutes, use a stiff brush to scrub off the remaining dirt. A local Thatcham gardener will be happy to do this for you, if you don't fancy cleaning your own patio.

Lawn Mowing Thatcham

Having a wonderful lawn can be as simple as sending an email or picking up the phone to your local Thatcham gardener or lawn care professional. A standard trimming of your lawn may involve different methods depending on how you use your lawn, the season of the year (winter requires a longer cut, summer should be shorter) and what kind of grass you've got. If your lawn has got high-use areas, such as a children's play area, you'll want a longer cut and a sturdier grass than if your garden is only used occasionally.

A routine mowing schedule by a specialist will guarantee that regardless of what your lawn is used for; front, back or sides, it will maintain a healthy appearance whatever the weather. Lawn care isn't just about mowing the grass, it also involves fertilisation of the roots and soil, as well as weed and moss control. A professional will also remove and dispose of any grass trimmings in a responsible manner, or throw them on your compost heap if you have one, for beneficial use around the garden in the future.

Garden Trellis

Adding extra privacy to your garden while still allowing a degree of light to flow through is challenging, but it is perfectly possible by putting up a trellis fence. Unlike a solid wood fence panel which will block any light and view, trellis fencing provides a screen from prying eyes while permitting some light to flow through.

With a range of panel shapes and sizes, trellis fencing can be used in any location in your garden, or even interconnected as a complete perimeter fence to screen off your garden to good effect. A current solid fencing panel can be heightened by installing a short trellis top panel which climbing plants can grow around and along. This is generally known as a fence top trellis.

Small hole trellis fencing is also available to purchase, so that you are able to hide areas of the garden that you would rather not see, for instance waste bins and compost heaps. Smaller hole trellis fences are also suitable for preventing unwelcome attention from passers-by when you are relaxing in your back garden.

Garden Pond Installation

Pond installation, an enjoyable process, leads to the transformation of a garden into a peaceful oasis. It involves meticulous planning, excavation, and the selection of the right materials, such as flexible rubber or pre-formed liners. The chosen location requires a level surface, sufficient sunlight, and being as far away from trees as possible. Once excavation and lining are complete, a pump and filtration system are installed to maintain water circulation and clarity in the pond. The addition of aquatic plants and fish completes the ecosystem of the pond. Many years of enjoyment and relaxation for homeowners and their families are offered by the pond's longevity, ensured through attention to safety aspects, regular water testing and proper maintenance.
