Does anyone know of a reliable gardener they can recommend. I’m normally out to my Rosa 3 or 4 times a year but due to COVID I can’t get out! I need someone to do a bit of hedge trimming?

Hi 

My name is Paul Foster. I am a young retiree, very reliable, I was a manager in a steel company in UK, and had 4/5 gardening jobs as well as keeping my own garden in excellent condition as a hobby. I am now living permanently in Guardamar and am looking for a gardening hobby for a bit of spending money. 
please Pm me if you are interested

Hi Paul, thanks for your prompt response.

To put you in the picture, we have a small detached bungalow in La Marina which we've had from new. We usually either fly or drive down at least three times a year. The first job when I get there is to trim back the bougainvillea/oleander hedge that runs down next to the pavement. This has usually gone mad in the Spanish climate!

The fact is we haven't been able to get out to Spain since February last year due to the pandemic and I'm concerned that  it may be growing over the path and or road, currently we're not sure when we will be able to travel down?

I'm happy for you to carryout the work and maybe moving forward occasional trimming when necessary but I need to be happy that you can carryout the task?

If you wish I could forward to you the address along with a photo of it in is presentable state then you could call round, have a look and let me know?

One thing you will need to consider is how you will transport and dispose of all the pruning's?

If you wish to take this further feel free to email me on [email protected]

I look forward to your response.

Best regards

Ralph
