Finding a Gardener in Kirkcaldy: Sorting out a dreary and overgrown garden is not everyone's cup of tea, so if you find yourself in this situation you should not be afraid to ask for some outside assistance. Should you hire a professional Kirkcaldy gardener or the "guy down the street" who does gardens cheap? Although there is no guarantee that a professional gardener will have any recognised horticultural qualifications, he/she will almost certainly have a great deal more gardening knowledge than that "geezer down the street" is going to have.
Your garden is precious and you don't want it ruined by somebody who doesn't know how to appreciate it. So, try to find a local Kirkcaldy gardener who is trustworthy and reliable. It is important that your plants and trees are looked after correctly, even if they are mostly run of the mill. You shouldn't take any chances, hire the best gardener you can afford.
The thing with gardens is that the jobs that need doing are routine, the same things need doing perhaps weekly, fortnightly or monthly. These routine jobs have to be done more frequently throughout the spring and summertime. Typical jobs that Kirkcaldy people need doing in their gardens include: grass cutting, general tidying, weeding and hedge cutting. The majority of Kirkcaldy gardeners will also be more than happy to deal with bigger tasks like waste clearance, fence repairs, cleaning driveways and decking installation.
Good gardeners don't come cheap, a professional gardener is likely to charge you £20 per hour or more, while that "bloke down the road" might do it for £10 to £12 per hour. Certainly for the first visit you should reckon on your gardener needing more than an hour to get the job done. Most gardeners will have a minimum visit time of 2 hours. This is to allow for travel, unloading tools and waste disposal.
Be cautious of anyone who demands payment for gardening services in advance. Quite often a gardener will ask to be paid in cash once the work is complete and that is of course fine. No matter what form of payment you agree on, be sure to get a receipt so there are no arguments later on.
Before any work commences make sure your gardener is clear about what needs to be done and has a plan of action to complete it. 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. Removing and disposing of lawn and hedge clippings isn't always part of the service so make sure that your gardener will do this for you.
It is polite to offer your gardener a drink or two throughout the day, they can build up quite a thirst with all that hard graft. This sort of kindness is always very much appreciated. Engage in some conversation with your gardener whenever you get the chance so that you can build a friendly relationship and benefit from their knowledge and ideas. But you should not hinder their work with endless talking, they may rush to catch up and not do the job properly.
