Finding a Gardener in Newton Mearns: If your Newton Mearns garden is in need of some attention and nobody in your household is willing to tackle it, don't be afraid to ask for a little help and assistance. Now, you might be tempted to bring in the "chap down the road" who you have heard does some gardening, or more sensibly contact a proper Newton Mearns gardener. Although many professional gardeners don't have any formal qualifications, they generally have more relevant knowledge than that "chap down the road" does.
It is not too much to ask that any gardener treats your garden, plants and contents with a degree of respect. Therefore, your goal must be to locate a gardener in Newton Mearns who does a thorough job and can be depended upon. It is important that your plants and trees are looked after correctly, even if they are mostly run of the mill. Take your time and get a proper Newton Mearns gardener.
The thing about gardening is that there are always jobs that need doing routinely, even on small gardens. Such jobs require even more attention during spring and summer when rain and heat generates increased growth. Typically people with gardens in Newton Mearns need jobs done like general tidying, mowing lawns, weeding and hedge trimming. Many gardeners will also be happy to take care of jobs like decking installation, fence repairs, driveway cleaning and waste removal
Expect to shell out something like £20 per hour for hiring the expertise of a professional gardener, the "fella down the road" will be a bit cheaper. One hour in your garden is not very much and the average gardener will need to spend more time than that to get much done. For it to be worth their while, gardeners generally favour doing 2 or 3 hours at a stretch. The reason for this is that they have to allow time for travel, waste disposal and getting tools on and off their truck.
Avoid any "gardener" who demands money up front, no trustworthy Newton Mearns gardener will expect this. Once the work is completed, it's not unusual for the gardener to ask for payment in cash rather than a cheque. Whatever kind of payment you and your gardener agree on, get a receipt to avoid later arguments.
Be clear about your expectations from the very beginning, prepare a list of work you need doing. Knowing which plants are most suitable for your garden's condition isn't always easy, so ask your gardener for advice on this. Taking away all the garden waste such as hedge clippings and lawn trimmings may not be included in the service, therefore you should establish whether your gardener will do this or not. Unless you want to keep it for your compost heap.
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. Having regular discussions with your gardener helps you to keep abreast of the latest ideas, and also develop a friendly relationship. It is not however a good idea to pester them constantly which will have the effect of annoying them and slowing the work down.
