Finding a Gardener in Ardeer: Even though you may enjoy doing the gardening you can sometimes get so behind that it becomes overgrown and a bit of a mess. This might be the right time to bring in someone else to help you. It's often easy to just bring in the "chap down the street" who does odd jobs and gardening on the side, but think carefully, would a proper gardener be a better choice? Whilst formal qualifications are not a requirement for gardeners, a professional is likely to have a wider range of knowledge than that "fellow down the street" and will have a reputation to uphold.
It is not too much to ask that any gardener treats your garden, plants and contents with a degree of respect. So, try to find a local Ardeer gardener who is trustworthy and reliable. This is particularly crucial when your garden contains shrubs and trees which require special attention. Don't allow a cowboy to ruin your garden, hire a decent one at the outset.
The thing with gardens is that the jobs that need doing are routine, the same things need doing perhaps weekly, fortnightly or monthly. During spring and summer such gardening jobs need attending to more frequently. Commonly weeding, general tidying, grass cutting and hedge pruning are the gardening tasks that people in Ardeer need done. Bigger tasks such as decking installation, repairing fences, waste removal and cleaning driveways can also be handled by the majority of gardeners.
Who you hire may be dependent on your budget and whilst that "bloke down the road" might only charge you £10 to £15 per hour, a seasoned professional is going to set you back nearer to £20 for an hours gardening. One hour in your garden is not very much and the average gardener will need to spend more time than that to get much done. Most gardeners will have a minimum visit time of 2 hours. This is understandable when you factor in travelling time, loading/unloading, and waste disposal.
It should never be necessary to pay your gardener in advance of doing the work, give short shrift to anybody who asks for this. If your gardener asks to be paid in cash after the job is complete, this is not something to be worried about and is normal within the trade. To avoid the possibility of disputes in the future always ask your gardener for a receipt.
A list of required tasks will help your gardener to plan his/her day, clearly lay out you exact requirements at the start. Knowing which plants are most suitable for your garden's condition isn't always easy, so ask your gardener for advice on this. Check that your gardener will remove any waste such as lawn trimmings and branches, some do not.
It never hurts to be polite to those working on your property, therefore you should always offer them a drink. Acts of kindness such as this will make your gardener feel appreciated and he or she will work all the harder for it. By chatting with your gardener you can start to establish a friendly relationship, this should enable you to immerse yourself in their ideas and soak up some of their gardening knowledge. Don't overdo this though, because constant nattering will slow down the whole process and may put your gardener off returning.
Ardeer Garden Design
It may be the case that you do not just want your garden to be tidied, but would like a complete re-design. While some gardeners in Ardeer will have a go at garden design they may not be the best people to help with this. Establish if your gardener is one of those who relish garden design. If worse comes to worst you might have to call on an expert.
Tree Surgery Ardeer
With a good knowledge of trees and shrubs, some gardeners in Ardeer will be pleased to do a few essential tree surgery tasks every now and then. Although for any major work it is best to use the professional services of a trained tree surgeon, for incidental pruning and clipping, your local Ardeer gardener should have all of the necessary skills.
Trees can easily overgrow and cause problems for your house and nearby power cables.
