Finding a Gardener in Annan: 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. Now you could call in a proper Annan gardener or you could try the "fella down the street". It will depend on exactly what you need doing, if it is just mowing your lawn then that "guy down the road" may be good enough, for more complex tasks, a professional will be more knowledgeable.
It is not too much to ask that any gardener treats your garden, plants and contents with a degree of respect. So, be certain to locate a gardener in Annan who you know you can trust. This will be even more critical for those of you with trees and shrubs in your garden. Don't put up with "rogue trader" gardeners, choose a dependable one.
Even if your garden is relatively small, there are a handful of jobs which need attending to on a routine basis. These jobs will need doing more regularly in the spring and summer and perhaps not at all in the winter. While the jobs that people in Annan need doing in their gardens are many and varied the most common are grass cutting, weeding, general cleaning and trimming hedges. It is unlikely that your gardener will refuse tasks such as waste removal, cleaning driveways, repairing fences and patio installation.
Good gardeners don't come cheap, a professional gardener is likely to charge you £20 per hour or more, while that "geezer down the road" might do it for £10 to £12 per hour. It would be unfair to expect any gardener to whip your garden into shape in just a single hour, so count on it taking longer than this. Sessions of 2 or 3 hours are standard for many gardeners in Annan. They have to allow for other things such as disposing of your garden waste at the local rubbish tip, unloading tools and equipment, and actually getting to and from your home.
Asking for money up front is not normal for gardeners (unlike builders), so be extra careful if they do. When the work has been completed to your satisfaction it would not be unusual for your gardener to ask for payment in cash. Whether you pay by card, cheque or cash, insist on a receipt, this will prevent later disputes over payment.
Make certain the gardener knows what your expectations are for your garden, job lists can help make everything clearer. In order for you to get the most out of your gardener, you should always be willing to ask for advice and help. 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 want to keep it for your compost heap.
Offer your gardener a hot or cold drink while they are at work and the use of a toilet is also helpful. Acts of kindness such as this will make your gardener feel appreciated and he or she will work all the harder for it. So that you can forge a friendly relationship with your gardener it is often a nice idea to pop out for a chat now and again. This also helps you to gain some additional gardening knowhow and useful tips. In doing this, don't prevent them from getting on with their work, because this will make the job take longer and cost you more money in the long run.
Garden Clearance Annan
If you let green waste and general trash to build up in your garden, a time will come when you need to bring in a garden clearance service. Some Annan gardeners will be happy to do this, but unless they've got a "Waste Carriers Licence", they will be limited in the amount and form of waste they can dispose of. If the levels of waste are modest you might be able to get rid of most of it using your council green waste bin (if you've got one).
You'll possibly have to call a registered garden clearance specialist, if like a lot of householders in Annan, you've got a garden that's piled up with all sorts of garbage, and not simply "green" waste. If you have a good amount of waste in your garden you could also look into hiring a mini-skip. In addition to your garden waste, this would perhaps also allow you to have a good clear out in your garage, your shed and even your attic, if they are full of clutter too.
Generally dirt, hedge clippings, shrubs, logs, wood shavings, dead flowers, tree branches, turf, twigs and lawn trimmings, will be viewed as "green" waste.
