Finding a Gardener in Balloch: Don't get stressed out if your garden in Balloch is looking unkempt and you can never find the time to sort it out, there is always the option of calling in some outside help. It's often easy to just bring in the "fellow down the road" who does odd jobs and gardening on the side, but think carefully, would a proper gardener be a better choice? While you don't need horticultural qualifications to be a gardener, most professional gardeners in the Balloch area will have a lot more knowledge than that "fellow down the road" is likely to have.
If you cherish your garden you will want a gardener with some savvy, who appreciates what you have and looks after it correctly. So take care to track down a local Balloch gardener who can be trusted to do a decent job. When your garden features certain shrubs, plants and trees needing particular care, this will be even more essential. Retain the services of the best you can afford and don't take chances.
Those monthly, fortnightly or even weekly gardening jobs are often necessary even if your garden is small. It is essential to get these jobs done even more frequently when spring and then summer arrives. The most common jobs that people with gardens need doing in Balloch are weeding, grass cutting, general tidying and hedge trimming. It is likely that your gardener will also help you with driveway cleaning, laying patios, fence repairs and waste clearance.
Professional gardeners do not of course come cheap and while the "bloke down the road" may be happy to charge £10 to £15 an hour, a figure of £20 per hour is more usual for professionals. You shouldn't expect too much from your gardener on his/her first visit, because gardening takes time and dependant on the amount of work that needs doing, several hours may be required. In order for them to do all the neccessary work they may need to put in at least two or three hours. This is to allow for travel, unloading tools and waste disposal.
Give short shrift to any Balloch gardener who expects to be paid up front before doing any work. It isn't uncommon for a gardener to ask to be paid in cash, though only after the gardening work is completed to your satisfaction. Whatever kind of payment you and your gardener agree on, get a receipt to avoid later arguments.
Prior to work commencing give the gardener a clear picture of what you're expecting to be done. Make the most of having a specialist on hand and follow their guidance with regards to your choice of plants and shrubs. If there is going to be a lot of waste produced by your gardener, double check they he/she will take it away afterwards.
Remember to keep the gardener supplied with drinks if you are around while the gardening is being done. Gardeners are appreciative of gestures like this and will no doubt reward you by doing the best possible job. 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. Constant interruptions should however be avoided.

If your plan is to not just have your garden tidied up but also to have it completely re-designed, you may need someone other than a standard gardener. While some gardeners in Balloch will have a go at garden design they may not be the best people to help with this. Your gardener will soon let you know if he/she is confident about this branch of gardening. If not it will be a case of finding an expert.
