Most gardeners in Watford are found through personal recommendation. However if you are looking for a gardener and your friends do not know of one then take a look at the list below. Most gardeners will be able to turn their hands to any work required in the garden, but you might like to have a look at the tools and equipment they bring with them.

For example, there are several diferent types of lawn mowers. Ranging from something as simple as a
lightweight Cylinder Lawn Mower which a professional gardener might use for small jobs to something more substantial such as a petrol lawn mower with a roller giving your lawn a quality stripped finish. If you expect your lawn to be cut and have that finish, check with your gardener and make sure his lawn mower has a roller. If it has you can be sure he has spent his money on the right sort of equipment. You'll see from the link to Amazon at the bottom of this page what I mean.
Before you engage a gardener let him know what you expect and ask his for a quote, either a fixed price or by the hour. He'll be happy to fit in with what you want and should give you advice on how to achieve it. If it is simply cutting your grass, the first visit is likely to take longer than subsequent visits especially if the grass has not been cut for a while.
Gardening Tip - Many pot plants suffer from vine weevils and a sign of this is poor growth, yellowing leaves and wilting. It is the larvae or grubs, which feed on the roots which causes this damage. There is a remedy, see below.
