Find Local Gardeners In My Area
It was when I needed to find gardeners in my area that I realised the importance of hiring a reputable company and paying a fair price for the work. I’d bought a house which, to say the least, was a bit of a ‘fixer-upper’ and once I’d replaced the roof, had a local electrician re-wire it and put in a new kitchen it was time to tackle the garden.
The weeds were as dense as the Amazon rainforest and the shed at the bottom was barely visible! I’m not afraid of hard work but I was short of time so decided to search for gardeners in my area to help.
The first wasn’t interested and only wanted to do lawn mowing and basic garden care. I guess that’s ok and there must be people who need local gardeners for light work if they can’t do it themselves, but I needed a gardener with some muscle! The second company I called were happy to quote for the work but couldn’t commit to a start date or when they’d have the work finished by.
How could it be so hard to find gardeners in my area willing to take this on!
A friend recommended I visit Registered as they’d used it to find a local plumber when they needed a shower fitting. There are other websites like this where you can find approved local tradesmen but I really liked to ease of use and way it worked.
All of the companies listed are vetted by Registered and they check that they have the right insurances in place to trade. I wouldn’t even have thought of that!
"The local gardener I found was great. I mentioned Registered when I rang and he was pleased to have a new project to look at. He was round the next day with his son who helps out when needed and they quoted a fair price and as I’d hoped for could start the work a few days later."
"Apart from costing me a fortune in tea bags – I guess garden clearance is thirsty work! – they were brilliant. I’ve now taken them on to cut back a tree and lay a new patio and I’ve recommended them to my sister."
"I’ve also been back on Registered to find local driveway installers near me and again am pleased with the quotes and service so far."
