How Much Does it Cost to Hire a Gardener in Derby?
The average rate for a gardener in Derby is between £15 and £25 an hour. Large jobs that take 8 hours or more may be charged at a day rate of between £120 and £200.
A gardener who has a contract to maintain a garden on a regular basis is likely to have a fixed number of hours. Ad-hoc jobs which a gardener might do between regular work is often charged on a fixed-rate basis.
What services can a gardener in Derby provide?
Most gardeners are experienced in the many aspects of garden care, although some specialise in projects such as landscape gardening. A general gardener will normally offer services which include:
- Collecting and disposing of leaves and other garden debris
- Lawn care and feeding
- Watering
- Pruning and deadheading
- Hedge trimming
- Controlling garden pests
- Cleaning driveways and paths
Do gardeners in Derby bring their own tools?
A professional gardener will have their own tools. Like most tradespeople, they have their preferred brands and types, which makes working with them more comfortable. There might be times when a tool they need isn’t available, and if this is the case, then the gardener might ask to use your tools. If you don’t mind this arrangement, agree to it at the beginning of the gardener’s contract and point out where the tools are kept.
Should a gardener have insurance?
It isn’t a legal requirement in the UK for a tradesperson with no staff to have insurance. If they employ people, then they would require Employers’ Liability Insurance by law. However, it is advisable to hire a gardener who has Public Liability Insurance because this protects the gardener and their customers from any claims that are made for loss, damage or injury caused by the gardener or their work, because they are covered by insurance.
Can I hire a gardener for one-off work?
Yes, gardeners in Derby often carry out one-off jobs. Common requests include mowing lawns, trimming hedges, weeding and cleaning up paths and driveways. Larger one-off jobs gardeners also offer are landscaping gardens, building ponds, and garden clearance. If a gardener is busy during spring and summer and can’t fit the job in, they may ask if you can wait for the job to be carried out when they are less busy in autumn and winter.
How do I find a reliable gardener in Derby?
Ask around for recommendations, talk to neighbours, or family and friends who already have a gardener. Look online for gardeners who have websites and read their feedback. Easiest of all, use MyJobQuote. Take the stress out of the search by leaving the hard work to us. Fill out the online form, tell us what you need, and we’ll find at least 3 professional gardeners in your area to give you no-obligation quotes for gardening work.
How often should I book a gardener?
Every garden is different, and the number of hours it needs for care and maintenance very much depends on the amount of attention your plants need, whether you have a lawn, the size of your garden and the type of work you want the gardener to do for you. Usually, when you ask a gardener for a quote, they will come to assess the garden and tell you how many hours you need.
Will a gardener remove garden waste?
Ask your gardener if he has a licence to dispose of green waste and whether he is willing to remove green waste. This might be part of the service, or it will be charged as an extra service. Should you need to get rid of your own garden waste, you can pay the council for a green waste bin, which is collected every fortnight, apart from a period during the winter when there are no collections.
When is the best time to hire a gardener in Derby?
In Derby, most gardeners work all year round. But they are probably busier during the spring and summer, and so they might not take on extra work. Don’t let this put you off talking to a gardener, however, because they just might have a gap in their schedule that they want to fill. However, autumn and winter tend to be quieter for gardeners, and they are more likely to take on one-off jobs like landscaping.
Do I need to provide anything for the gardener before they arrive?
Unless the gardener is using your tools, there’s no need to prepare anything before they arrive. It is a good idea, though, to check for obstacles that the gardener might trip over, or decorations which make access to plants or hedges difficult. If you have a green waste wheelie bin or a compost heap, let the gardener know where they can find them so it’s easier to dispose of any waste they accumulate while working.
