Finding a Gardener in Grantown-on-Spey: When your beloved garden in Grantown-on-Spey is looking somewhat tatty and overgrown you will have to decide whether to put aside a few hours to do it yourself or take the lazy option and pay someone else to do it for you. Should you hire a professional Grantown-on-Spey gardener or the "chap down the street" who does gardens cheap? The thing is that the "geezer down the street" will know how to trim your hedge and mow your lawn, but probably not much else, whilst a professional will have more in depth knowledge. The final decision is of course yours.
You certainly want a gardener who will treat your garden with respect and not cause it any harm or damage. This means that finding a local Grantown-on-Spey gardener who does a good job and can be trusted should be your aim. If you've got trees, plants and shrubs needing special attention, this will become more important still. Don't put up with "rogue trader" gardeners, choose a dependable one.
Large and small gardens alike need routine maintenance with various jobs that need attending to. You will need to book in more regular visits by your gardener in the spring and summer as these jobs pile up. While the jobs that people in Grantown-on-Spey need doing in their gardens are many and varied the most common are grass cutting, general tidying, hedge trimming and weeding. Many quality gardeners in Grantown-on-Spey will also be willing to assist with driveway cleaning, decking installation, garden fencing and waste removal.
Don't expect to get a decent gardener for peanuts, while that "fella down the road" might only ask for £10 to £12 per hour, you're unlikely to get a professional for much less than £20 an hour. Most Grantown-on-Spey gardeners will not want to do just one hours work. The majority will generally prefer to spend 2 to 3 hours on each visit. 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.
It is not the norm for Grantown-on-Spey gardeners to demand money up front, be very suspicious of anyone who does this. Having said that, a deposit for materials may be required for bigger projects like patio laying. "Cash is king" as they say, and most gardeners prefer this type of payment, but only once the work is complete of course. Remember to get a receipt whether you pay the gardener by cash, card or cheque, this negates later disputes.
Let the gardener know about your precise expectations before any work begins. Knowing which plants are most suitable for your garden's condition isn't always easy, so ask your gardener for advice on this. Getting rid of your lawn trimmings and hedge clippings won't always be part of the service so ensure that in your case it is. It is generally better for them to take it rather than cluttering up your garden.
It is customary to offer your gardener a hot or cold drink, though many bring their own refreshments. This type of kindness is always welcome and your gardener may show his/her gratitude by doing a great job on your garden. Building a friendly relationship with your gardener is always a good idea, it enables you to soak up a little of their knowledge and ideas. This is not to say you should stand there all day gabbing, this will merely hinder your gardener and stop him/her from doing their job.
