Finding a Gardener in Abernethy: If you have a garden that is looking tired and overgrown, the time has come to get it back in shape. If you are too busy or too idle to do it yourself you are going to have to call in some help. Think carefully before you hire someone because lots of people in Abernethy do gardening, some are professional gardeners and some just dabble. Whilst a professional gardener might not necessarily have qualifications he/she will likely know considerably more than that "bloke down the street". The decision is of course up to you.
You certainly don't want your cherished garden to be in any way mistreated by an ignorant or uninformed "gardener" who is just in it for a buck. Therefore you should take your time in finding a gardener in the Abernethy area who can be trusted. This will be even more critical for those of you with trees and shrubs in your garden. Retain the services of the best you can afford and don't take chances.
Small gardens need routine attention just like larger ones and the jobs may be much the same but on a smaller scale. As you can imagine the need for this regular maintenance is more necessary in spring and summer. You'll not be surprised to learn that the most commonly requested gardening jobs are weeding, general tidying, hedge cutting and mowing lawns. Tasks such as patio installation, fence repairs, waste clearance and driveway cleaning are other things that your gardener will probably help you with.
Gardeners rates vary, but professionals will probably set you back around £20 per hour, with that "chap down the road" accepting perhaps £10 or £12 for the same time period. One hours work is not enough to make much impression on your garden, so you should reckon on them needing to spend more time than this. To make it worthwhile and to make an impression, gardeners normally like to put in two to three hours at a time. This is not greed or stretching the job out, but simply making allowances for travel, unloading and waste removal when necessary.
Give short shrift to any Abernethy gardener who expects to be paid up front before doing any work. It is quite normal for a gardener to request cash payment, rather than card or cheque, so make sure you have some to hand. Always insist on a receipt whether you pay by card, cheque or cash, proof of payment is important in case of any future arguments.
Right from the start and before any work commences, ensure your gardener has a clear understanding of exactly what needs doing. Ask your gardener about your specific garden conditions and get advice about the best plants to grow to get the perfect results. It is always a good idea to check if your gardener includes the removal of waste in his/her service, this is not always the case. Unless you need it for your compost heap in which case you might want to keep it.
It is polite to offer your gardener a drink or two throughout the day, they can build up quite a thirst with all that hard graft. This type of kindness is always welcome and your gardener may show his/her gratitude by doing a great job on your garden. Wander out and have a chat with your gardener whenever the situation allows, this helps to develop a friendly connection and gives you the chance to share ideas. This does not mean you should pester them with constant wittering which will simply hinter them and slow down the work rate.
Garden Design Abernethy
Sometimes when searching for a gardener you will find people advertising as "garden designers" and for many this is a vocation in its own right. Some gardeners in Abernethy branch out into this area of gardening whilst other concentrate on the more routine jobs. Ask your gardener if he/she is comfortable with this aspect of gardening. Otherwise you'll have to search for an expert in the field of garden design.
Garden Clearance Abernethy
You will discover that some Abernethy gardeners will be able to do a limited amount of garden clearance, so long as there is only green waste and there is not too much involved. A few gardeners in Abernethy may even have a Waste Carrier Licence, which will permit them to take different sorts and larger volumes of waste. If you have a local council green waste bin (you normally have to pay extra for these), you might be able to get rid of the majority of it bit by bit, if the volumes of waste are only modest.
You'll probably have to get in touch with an authorised garden clearance expert, if like many homeowners in Abernethy, you've got a garden that's piled up with all manner of garbage, and not merely green waste. There are other options you could consider if you've got a large quantity of waste in your garden, hiring a mini-skip may be something you could look at. Adopting this approach will make it possible for you to perhaps clear out your shed, your garage and possibly even your attic, in addition to your garden waste.
Generally speaking "green" garden waste would be things like: turf, twigs, topsoil, sawdust, hedge clippings, shrubs, logs, tree branches, lawn trimmings and plants.
