charges for gardeners, again, it keeps coming around :-)
snip The chap that does ours is a retired policeman. He set up with his father who then died and now D carries on alone. He does house painting and putting up shelves and jobs like that in the winter, if he's not doing hedge cutting etc. Your daughter and son in law might find that a couple of hours a week from themselves keeps things as they want them, perhaps? After all, while the grass might need to be cut every week, hedges don't need to be, nor trees pruned! If they are too busy to do it themselves, or the garden is too big, it might be worth asking a local gardening club, putting up a postcard in a local PO or just asking whoever cuts the grass in their local churchyard. -- Sacha We had a chap that sounds very much like yours Sacha, tho not a retired policeman - he is having a hip replacement op so we do not know if he will be able to carry on with his odd jobs or not, we do miss him very much, being a countryman he knew what to do, I never needed to tell him. In the past daughter has managed the garden on her own but our 8 month old grand-daughter has put a stop to that :-) However a notice in the local PO is a good idea. kate |
