Finding a Gardener in Melrose: If you cannot spare the time to tackle your tired and dreary garden, you should not be reluctant to bring in some outside help to knock it back into shape. You could ask the "guy down the road" who does a bit of gardening or you could call on a professional Melrose gardener. While it isn't necessary to have qualifications to work as a gardener in Melrose, professional usually beat that "fella down the road" hands down when it comes to gardening knowledge. If you are still not sure, read the rest of this article.
It is never a good idea to have somebody looking after your garden who doesn't know what they're doing. Make sure you locate a dependable Melrose gardener who'll do a real good job. When you have a garden containing trees and shrubs needing expert care, this is even more important. Don't make do with any Tom, Dick or Harry, get yourself a decent gardener.
Even if your garden is relatively small, there are a handful of jobs which need attending to on a routine basis. As you can imagine the need for this regular maintenance is more necessary in spring and summer. Commonly weeding, general tidying, hedge cutting and lawn mowing are the gardening tasks that people in Melrose need done. It isn't unusual for professional Melrose gardeners to help you out with waste clearance, fence repairs, decking installation and driveway cleaning.
While that "chap down the road" might quote you ten to fifteen pounds an hour to "do" your garden, an experienced gardener will come at a considerably higher price (£20 per hour maybe). Depending on the state of your garden it is likely that your gardener will need more than just one hour to make an impression. To make it worthwhile and to make an impression, gardeners normally like to put in two to three hours at a time. They have to allow for other things such as disposing of your garden waste at the local rubbish tip, unloading tools and equipment, and actually getting to and from your home.
Trustworthy Melrose gardeners will never ask for money in advance, so be distrustful of anybody who does. Quite often a gardener will ask to be paid in cash once the work is complete and that is of course fine. Whether you pay by cheque, card or cash, insist on a receipt, this will prevent later disputes over payment.
Make sure your gardener is clear about your requirements, give him/her a list of jobs before they begin. Once your gardener starts you will have an expert at your fingertips, make the most of it and get plenty of advice and guidance. It is always a good idea to check if your gardener includes the removal of waste in his/her service, this is not always the case. Unless you have a garden waste bin and you can fit it in that.
Remember to keep the gardener supplied with drinks if you are around while the gardening is being done. There is no telling what advantages may be gained by you for such little acts of kindness. 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. Don't overdo this though, because constant nattering will slow down the whole process and may put your gardener off returning.
Garden Design Melrose
Sometimes when searching for a gardener you will find people advertising as "garden designers" and for many this is a vocation in its own right. It is not unheard of for regular gardeners to do a bit of garden designing alongside their day to day tasks. It would pay you to ask your gardener if they have the confidence to do this. Otherwise you'll have to search for an expert in the field of garden design.
Garden Clearance Melrose
While most gardeners will be prepared to do a limited amount of garden clearance in Melrose, a lot of them will not hold a "Waste Carriers Licence", and will therefore be constrained in the quantity of waste they can take. If the levels of waste are modest you may be able to dispose of a lot of it using your council green waste bin (if you have one).
Obviously, a lot of gardens in Melrose are heaped up with all sorts of junk, and not only "green" waste, so for this form of project you will possibly have to call a certified Melrose garden clearance specialist. There are other possibilities that you could think about if you have a considerable quantity of junk in your garden, hiring a mini-skip might be something you could look into. In addition to your garden waste, this will perhaps also enable you to have a good clear out in your garage, your shed and even your loft, if they're full of clutter as well.
Generally speaking "green" garden waste will be things like: twigs, lawn trimmings, logs, dead flowers, hedge clippings, sawdust, soil, shrubs, turf and tree branches.
