Gardener required.

Post by thedash »

Does anyone know of a good gardener who can come and maintain my garden/outdoor space.
Grass needs cutting, weeds need removing etc...

Barring any direct answers recommending someone:

1) If you're in a housing development go and ask the office and they will be able to recommend someone. If there is no office any longer, the homeowners association and/or the security guards will know someone.

2) If your wife or girlfriend is Thai, easy for her to find someone.

3) If none of the above, drive around and stop at the various garden and landscaping shops. They will be able to help you.

If you can't communicate in Thai, try to take someone with you who can, or you may indeed be overcharged. Let your Thai friend negotiate and make the deal. Pete :cheers:

Many thanks.
I will most probably ask at the local garden centres.

Dash, it doesn't hurt to post on here the road/soi you live on. You may then find someone comes back and gives a good tip as they may live in the same area. You don't need to give a house number, just an area. Your privacy will be ok on here. Good luck. :thumb: Pete :cheers:
