Finding a Gardener in Lauder: If your garden in Lauder is getting messy and you really don't have the time to keep it up to scratch, you should not be embarrassed to ask for some help. It's often easy to just bring in the "bloke down the road" who does odd jobs and gardening on the side, but think carefully, would a proper gardener be a better choice? Whilst a professional gardener might not necessarily have qualifications he/she will likely know considerably more than that "geezer down the street". If you are still not sure, read the rest of this article.
Everyone likes their garden to be looked after properly and by a gardener who knows his/her stuff. So, your aim should be to find a gardener in the Lauder area who can be trusted to do a good job on your garden. If you have a garden containing certain trees and shrubs, the importance of this is even more apparent. Don't put up with "rogue trader" gardeners, choose a dependable one.
The thing about gardening is that there are always jobs that need doing routinely, even on small gardens. These repeat jobs will have to be done a lot more often in springtime and summer, dying off to nothing by winter. While the jobs that people in Lauder need doing in their gardens are many and varied the most common are general cleaning, mowing lawns, weeding and hedge trimming. Tasks such as waste removal, fence repairs, cleaning driveways and laying patios are other things that your gardener will probably help you with.
Don't expect to get a decent gardener for peanuts, while that "fellow down the street" might only ask for £10 to £12 per hour, you're unlikely to get a professional for much less than £20 an hour. Gardening takes time and one hour will not be enough for most gardeners to make much progress on your garden. At least two to three hours work is often the minimum that gardeners will wish to put in each time. You must take into account travelling time, loading and unloading equipment and visits to the tip with your waste.
Trustworthy Lauder gardeners will never ask for money in advance, so be distrustful of anybody who does. More involved tasks like fencing or decking can be considered an exception, since expensive materials need to be obtained and quite rightly a deposit will be requested. Of course gardeners often ask for payment in cash after the work is completed. To avoid the possibility of disputes in the future always ask your gardener for a receipt.
A list of required tasks will help your gardener to plan his/her day, clearly lay out you exact requirements at the start. Once your gardener starts you will have an expert at your fingertips, make the most of it and get plenty of advice and guidance. Some gardeners are not willing to dispose of all your garden waste, ensuring that yours will do this should be a priority. Being lumbered with a big pile of garden waste is not a good idea.
Though usually a gardener will bring along a flask or bottle of water, it is nice to offer him/her a cup of tea while working hard on your garden. You may be repaid for thoughtfulness like this by a better service and a happier gardener. In order to build a friendly rapport with your gardener and to pick their brains for gardening tips, go out for a natter from time to time. But you should not hinder their work with endless talking, they may rush to catch up and not do the job properly.
Garden Design Lauder
If you have bigger plans for your garden and are thinking about a total re-design, you might need more than a run of the mill gardener. Not all gardeners who do routine maintenance will be skilled in the design area of gardening. Ask your gardener if he/she is comfortable with this aspect of gardening. You might end up having to find a specialist.
