Finding a Gardener in Comrie: If your garden is in a bit of a state and you don't have the time to sort it out yourself, there is no shame in calling in some help. Now, you should be looking for the "right" kind of help in the shape of a professional gardener rather than the "chap down the road" who puts his hand to anything. Generally speaking that "chap down the street" will have very little gardening knowledge, while any self-respecting Comrie gardener be bursting with horticultural expertise. Hopefully, reading this article will help you in your decision.
Gardeners who know their stuff will have respect for your garden and treat it much as they would their own. So, try to find a local Comrie gardener who is trustworthy and reliable. You will come to realise that this is even more important when you've got trees and shrubs needing a higher level of care. Avoid settling for any old chancer, find yourself a decent gardener.
Whether your garden is large or small, there will always be jobs that need attending to on a routine basis. In spring and summer you should organise more frequent gardener visits as the jobs that need doing increase. Commonly lawn mowing, hedge pruning, weeding and general tidying are the gardening tasks that people in Comrie need done. It is likely that your gardener will also help you with repairing fences, waste clearance, decking installation and driveway cleaning.
The rates charged by professional gardeners varies widely but if you are paying an hourly rate of about £20, that is reasonable. Don't expect miracles, especially on the first session, and count on it taking more than a single hour for your gardener to make much difference to the look of your garden. To make it worthwhile and to make an impression, gardeners normally like to put in two to three hours at a time. Travel to and away from your home, bringing in and taking away mowers and tools, and the responsible disposal of your waste all have to be factored in.
Give short shrift to any Comrie gardener who expects to be paid up front before doing any work. Big projects such as fencing or decking may be an exception, because materials have to be bought and a deposit may be required. Ensure you have some cash to hand on gardening day because most gardeners prefer this kind of payment when they have finished. No matter what form of payment you agree on, be sure to get a receipt so there are no arguments later on.
Be transparent about your requirements before any work begins, give the gardener a rota of tasks that you would like to be done. The layout of your garden is something any decent gardener will be able to help you with, they will know which plants perform best where, don't be scared to ask for guidance. Not every gardener is prepared to remove all the green waste, it would pay you to verify that yours is happy to do this. When they have done a good job of tidying your garden they should really take away the rubbish.
Gardening is thirsty work, so don't forget to make a hot or cold drink for your gardener to keep his/her spirits up. 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. But don't hold them up with incessant chatter, this will only hinder them and may result in inferior or incomplete work.
Garden Clearance Comrie
While most gardeners will be prepared to do a limited amount of garden clearance in Comrie, most of them will not hold a "Waste Carrier's Licence", and will subsequently be restricted in the amount of waste they are able to take. If only modest quantities of waste are involved it may be possible to dispose of the majority of it by using your local council green waste bin (if you've got one), otherwise you will need some specialist help.
Not surprisingly, a lot of gardens in Comrie are heaped up with all kinds of garbage, and not just green waste, so for this form of project you will probably need to call a licenced Comrie garden clearance expert. If you have a lot of waste in your garden you might consider hiring a mini-skip. This would allow you to dispose of not just garden waste, but perhaps also clear out your shed, your garage and possibly even you loft.
Generally lawn trimmings, pruned branches, dirt, twigs, shrubs, wood shavings, hedge clippings, logs, turf and weeds, will be viewed as "green" waste. (Tags: Garden Clearances Comrie, Garden Clearance Comrie, Waste Removal Comrie).
