Finding a Gardener in Callander: If you cannot spare the time to tackle your tired and dreary garden, you should not be reluctant to bring in some outside help to knock it back into shape. It is tempting to call on the "geezer down the street" who helps out your neighbour, or you could actually bring in a proper Callander gardener. While you don't need horticultural qualifications to be a gardener, most professional gardeners in the Callander area will have a lot more knowledge than that "geezer down the street" is likely to have. This article may help you to decide.
A gardener who knows precisely what they're doing will treat your garden with the respect that it deserves. Always try to track down a gardener in the Callander area who will do a good job and who can be trusted. Even if in your trees and plants are pretty ordinary they still need to be handled with care and dedication. Don't settle for any old gardener, get a decent one.
Large and small gardens alike need routine maintenance with various jobs that need attending to. Such routine jobs will need attention more frequently at certain times of the year, in particular spring and summer. Most people in Callander who have gardens will typically need tasks done like grass cutting, trimming hedges, general cleaning and weeding. Many quality gardeners in Callander will also be willing to assist with waste removal, decking installation, cleaning driveways and garden fencing.
On the subject of price, this can vary with areas and gardeners, but charges of about twenty pounds per hour are normal and may be even higher. It might be the case that your chosen gardener will need more than an hour to whip your garden into shape. It would not be that unusual for a gardener to have a minimum visit time of 2 to 3 hours. Don't forget, they have to get to and from your location, they have to unload and load their van and they may have to dispose of your waste which could mean a trip to the local tip.
Asking for money up front is not normal for gardeners (unlike builders), so be extra careful if they do. Once the work is completed, it's not unusual for the gardener to ask for payment in cash rather than a cheque. Don't forget to ask for a receipt irrespective of if you pay by card, cash or cheque, having proof of payment prevents later quarrels.
Right from the start and before any work commences, ensure your gardener has a clear understanding of exactly what needs doing. Your gardener is there to help you, so if you have any doubts about plants or their positioning, ask for advice. 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.
Spare a thought for your gardener toiling away on your property with no facilities at hand. Offer them the use of your toilet and perhaps provide a drink. This sort of kindness is always very much appreciated. Having a friendly rapport with your gardener is also important, so chat with them on a regular basis, discuss plans and bounce ideas off each other. Don't overdo this though, because constant nattering will slow down the whole process and may put your gardener off returning.
