Finding a Gardener in Mid Calder: If your garden is looking overgrown and untidy you should think about calling in some help if you don't have the inclination or time to tackle it on your own. It's often easy to just bring in the "guy down the road" who does odd jobs and gardening on the side, but think carefully, would a proper gardener be a better choice? Whilst formal qualifications are not a requirement for gardeners, a professional is likely to have a wider range of knowledge than that "guy down the road" and will have a reputation to uphold. Perhaps this article will help you make your choice.
You do not want your precious garden to be spoilt by someone who doesn't have to knowledge to look after it properly. So take care to track down a local Mid Calder gardener who can be trusted to do a decent job. Some plants and trees need special care, in which case this is even more important.

Good gardeners don't come cheap, a professional gardener is likely to charge you £20 per hour or more, while that "chap down the street" might do it for £10 to £12 per hour. It would be unfair to expect any gardener to whip your garden into shape in just a single hour, so count on it taking longer than this. Generally gardeners would prefer to spend a minimum of 2 - 3 hours to make it worthwhile. You must take into account travelling time, loading and unloading equipment and visits to the tip with your waste.
You should be suspicious of any gardener who demands payment in advance. Having said that, a deposit for materials may be required for bigger projects like decking installation. Don't be surprised if your gardener asks for cash payment, this isn't unusual, but of course only when the work is finished. Agree on an acceptable form of payment before work starts and always get a receipt once the bill has been paid.
Be clear about your expectations from the very beginning, prepare a list of work you need doing. Planning out exactly what goes where in your garden is important, the help and guidance of your gardener will help you to get it right. Gardening tends to generate a lot of waste, so verify that your gardener is going to dispose of this when they are finished. Unless you need it for your compost heap in which case you might want to keep it.
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. A gardener will always be appreciative of such kindness and will work even harder to show this gratitude. It's important that you and your gardener have a friendly relationship with each other. Pop into the garden for regular chats to discuss gardening ideas and plans. In doing this, don't prevent them from getting on with their work, because this will make the job take longer and cost you more money in the long run.
