Finding a Gardener in Chirnside: Nobody likes to see their garden looking a little the worse for wear, so fetching in some outside help is always a possibility if you can't find the time to spare. Before you let someone loose on your prized garden you should consider the options. Should you call on a specialist Chirnside gardener or the "guy down the street" who has a go at anything? Generally speaking that "guy down the street" will have very little gardening knowledge, while any self-respecting Chirnside gardener be bursting with horticultural expertise.
It is never a good idea to have somebody looking after your garden who doesn't know what they're doing. This means that finding a local Chirnside gardener who does a good job and can be trusted should be your aim. This is even more important if you have plants or trees in your garden which need specialist care. Retain the services of the best you can afford and don't take chances.
The thing about gardening is that there are always jobs that need doing routinely, even on small gardens. These routine jobs have to be done more frequently throughout the spring and summertime. Typically general tidying, weeding, lawn mowing and hedge pruning are the more common jobs that folk with gardens in Chirnside need done. Additional tasks like patio installation, waste clearance, repairing fences and driveway cleaning will also be within the capabilities of most experienced gardeners.
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 not excessive if you consider that they have to drive to your house and back and might need to take your waste to the local rubbish tip, which could be miles away.
Be cautious of anyone who demands payment for gardening services in advance. Don't be surprised if your gardener asks for cash payment, this isn't unusual, but of course only when the work is finished. No matter if you pay your gardener with card, cheque or cash, ask for a receipt, you don't want any disputes or arguments about payments down the road.
A list of required tasks will help your gardener to plan his/her day, clearly lay out you exact requirements at the start. Once your gardener starts you will have an expert at your fingertips, make the most of it and get plenty of advice and guidance. If there is going to be a lot of waste produced by your gardener, double check they he/she will take it away afterwards.
Though usually a gardener will bring along a flask or bottle of water, it is nice to offer him/her a cup of tea while working hard on your garden. This is always appreciated by gardeners and they will repay you by doing an extra fine job. 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. However, avoid incessant prattling which will only annoy the gardener and impede his/her progress.
