Finding a Gardener in Clarkston: You should never be ashamed to ask for assistance if your Clarkston garden is a bit lacklustre and you simply cannot find the time to tackle it yourself. Now, you might be tempted to bring in the "bloke down the street" who you have heard does some gardening, or more sensibly contact a proper Clarkston gardener. Whilst a professional gardener might not necessarily have qualifications he/she will likely know considerably more than that "geezer down the road". The decision is of course up to you.
It should certainly go without saying that any gardener you hire should be informed enough to care for your garden and the contents within it. Therefore you must find a gardener in Clarkston who can be depended upon to do a fine job. Trees and shrubs may require expert management, meaning this is more important than ever. Don't allow a cowboy to ruin your garden, hire a decent one at the outset.
Even if you only have a small garden, there are lots of jobs that need doing on a regular basis. Gardener visits will generally need to be more regular in spring and summer, with jobs being done more frequently. The commonest gardening jobs that folk in Clarkston need doing are lawn mowing, weeding, general cleaning and hedge pruning. Most decent gardeners in Clarkston will tackle other jobs such as driveway cleaning, decking installation, garden fencing and waste clearance.
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. In order to make much difference to your garden, most gardeners will need to invest more than an hour of hard graft. At least two to three hours work is often the minimum that gardeners will wish to put in each time. 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.
Avoid any "gardener" who demands money up front, no trustworthy Clarkston gardener will expect this. Big projects such as decking or fencing may be an exception, because materials have to be bought and a deposit may be required. When the work has been completed to your satisfaction it would not be unusual for your gardener to ask for payment in cash. No matter if you pay your gardener with card, cash or cheque, ask for a receipt, you don't want any disputes or arguments about payments down the road.
Be clear about your expectations from the very beginning, prepare a list of work you need doing. It is nice to have an expert on hand to help whip your garden into shape, make sure you exploit their knowledge to the full. Make sure that all twigs, weeds and lawn cuttings will be removed and disposed of afterwards, certain gardeners don't do this. It is unfair to leave you with piles of garden waste.
If you are at home while the gardening is being done, keep your gardener supplied with drinks. You can expect your gardener to very much appreciate gestures like this and to repay you with increased output. It is useful to always have a friendly relationship with your gardener, so try to have regular chats with him/her, sharing ideas and opinions. Most gardeners will not however want you standing over them all day nattering.
