Finding a Gardener in Johnstone: If you have a garden that is looking tired and overgrown, the time has come to get it back in shape. If you are too busy or too idle to do it yourself you are going to have to call in some help. Should you hire a professional Johnstone gardener or the "chap down the road" who does gardens cheap? The problem is that "guy down the road" will probably know very little about gardening, whereas a professional will have a wide spectrum of knowledge. The decision is of course up to you.
You need your cherished garden to be given a degree of respect by whoever is looking after it. Thus, your primary goal ought to be to find a gardener in the Johnstone district who is known for doing a good job and is regarded as being dependable. When you have a garden containing trees and shrubs needing expert care, this is even more important. Get yourself a good gardener, don't just settle for any old one.
The thing about gardening is that there are always jobs that need doing routinely, even on small gardens. In spring and summer you should organise more frequent gardener visits as the jobs that need doing increase. While the jobs that people in Johnstone need doing in their gardens are many and varied the most common are weeding, general cleaning, hedge pruning and lawn mowing. More involved tasks might include: waste removal, driveway cleaning, fence repairs and laying patios.
Getting your garden done by a professional isn't cheap and you are likely to be paying close to £20 per hour for the priviledge. One hours work is not enough to make much impression on your garden, so you should reckon on them needing to spend more time than this. Certain Johnstone gardeners will want 2 or more hours work each time they visit your garden. This isn't surprising when you appreciate that they have to get to and from your house, load/unload, and resposibly dispose of your waste at the local recycling centre.
You should never expect to have to pay any gardener in advance. Having said that, a deposit for materials may be required for bigger projects like landscaping. Many Johnstone gardeners favour payment in cash, very few will take cards, they will only ask after you have approved their work. Remember to get a receipt whether you pay the gardener by cash, cheque or card, this negates later disputes.
A list of required tasks will help your gardener to plan his/her day, clearly lay out you exact requirements at the start. Your gardener will be there to give you advice and guidance on any aspect of your garden, so make the most of his/her knowledge. Some gardeners are not willing to dispose of all your garden waste, ensuring that yours will do this should be a priority. A big pile of waste that you can't get rid of is not something that you want left in your garden.
It is customary to offer your gardener a hot or cold drink, though many bring their own refreshments. You may be repaid for thoughtfulness like this by a better service and a happier gardener. By having a quick chat with your gardener every once in a while, you can pick up some tips while also building a friendly rapport. You should not however take this to the extreme, and stand there chattering all day long, which will only hold up your gardener and make the job take longer.
Johnstone Garden Design
When your plans extend to a total re-design of your garden, you might have to search a bit harder to find someone suitable for this task. Certain Johnstone gardeners welcome the challenge of designing but many are happier just to do your routine garden maintenance. It would pay you to ask your gardener if they have the confidence to do this. If not you'll have to look for a specialist.
