In particular for those with little time to tend to their garden themselves. We take a look at how to hire a gardener&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Do you want to hire a gardener, but not pay the earth? Everyone wants a bargain on services right now and hiring a gardener or landscaper is no exception.\u00a0 The range of services offered by gardeners will vary considerably and as with hiring any tradesperson for your home, the lowest price doesn\u2019t always equate to the best deal.<\/p>\n<p>Quality, reliability and value for money are important to think about when hiring a gardener or accepting any quotes. <a href=\"http:\/\/builderscrack.co.nz\/post-job-desc\">Post a job on Builderscrack <\/a>and have gardeners and <a href=\"http:\/\/builderscrack.co.nz\/choosing-and-using\/landscape-architect\">landscape architects<\/a> contact you today.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6766\" src=\"https:\/\/builderscrack.co.nz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/shutterstock_451681117_Resized-1200x800.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"801\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Guidelines to help you hire a gardener<\/h2>\n<p>A gardener\u2019s value is often determined by the overall appearance of the garden they\u2019re tasked with maintaining.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re planning on hiring a gardener for regular repeated work, remember to ask what they\u2019ll be doing in your garden each month.<\/p>\n<p>Communication is important. Ensure you and your gardener are both clear on what you expect to be done each time.\u00a0 It takes more time to provide a service that includes pruning and weeding than just a quick mow, so be prepared to pay more for complete care.<\/p>\n<h3>Evaluate your garden<\/h3>\n<p>Before meeting with prospective gardeners, take the time to evaluate your lawn and garden and decide what tasks are important to you.\u00a0 For example, do you need just basic maintenance or do you need a gardener with a horticultural background who is able to tend your formal gardens?<\/p>\n<h3>Consider your garden style<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>What\u2019s your gardens current style and what would you like it to become?\u00a0 Hire a gardener with the right kind of experience or knowledge.<\/li>\n<li>What do you use your garden area for at the moment? Do you want to have garden parties or is it a quiet place of reflection for you?<\/li>\n<li>Do you have children who will play in the garden? Hire a gardener with a good understanding of children&#8217;s safety<\/li>\n<li>What kind of landscaping features do you want to include and is there anything else that needs special consideration?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/pinterest.com\/builderscrack\/beautiful-backyards-gardens\/\">Gardening is an art form<\/a>. Think about whether you want to be involved with the design and ongoing maintenance or if you\u2019d rather this be completely delegated to your gardener\/landscape designer?<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/builderscrack.files.wordpress.com\/2013\/07\/timthumb-php.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-684\" title=\"hire a gardener\" src=\"https:\/\/builderscrack.files.wordpress.com\/2013\/07\/timthumb-php.jpg\" alt=\"hire a gardener\" width=\"924\" height=\"389\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>When hiring a gardener, good communication is the key to ensuring your garden will be exactly as you desire.<\/p>\n<h3>Interviewing gardeners and landscape designers<\/h3>\n<p>A good gardener will have good knowledge of horticulture, pesticides, fertiliser, sprinkler systems and timer repair. Asking some general questions about these before hiring a gardener will save prevent both disaster and disappointment further down the track.<\/p>\n<p>Once you\u2019ve evaluated your garden you\u2019ll have a good idea of the type of gardener you\u2019re looking for.\u00a0 Here\u2019s a couple of extra things to ask:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>What will you be charged? Now\u2019s the time to discuss the budget before you get started.<\/li>\n<li>Are your gardening ideas realistic for your budget and existing space?<\/li>\n<li>Does your gardener have any different ideas?\u00a0 You\u2019re hiring a gardener for their experience and knowledge so make use of it.<\/li>\n<li>Check if they have their own liability insurance, otherwise anything that happens on your property is your responsibility.<\/li>\n<li>Review a tradespersons feedback on Builderscrack and ask for references. Follow these up with a phone call or visit where practical.<\/li>\n<li>Always get a tradespersons full contact details including physical address and landline where possible.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Expect to pay more for a comprehensive <a href=\"http:\/\/builderscrack.co.nz\/post-job-desc\">service from a gardener<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The old saying, &#8220;You get what you pay for&#8221; holds true in the gardening and landscape maintenance field.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hiring a gardener for a one off tidy  &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":6765,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[987],"tags":[949,950,924],"class_list":["post-679","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-advice-gardening","tag-949","tag-950","tag-924"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.3 (Yoast SEO v27.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Want to Hire A Gardener for One Off Or Regular Work?<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"When it&#039;s time to hire a gardener, planning is key.
