Finding a Gardener in North Berwick: 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. Now, you should be looking for the "right" kind of help in the shape of a professional gardener rather than the "guy down the street" who puts his hand to anything. While you don't need horticultural qualifications to be a gardener, most professional gardeners in the North Berwick area will have a lot more knowledge than that "chap down the street" is likely to have.
A gardener who knows precisely what they're doing will treat your garden with the respect that it deserves. Therefore, your goal must be to locate a gardener in North Berwick who does a thorough job and can be depended upon. This is particularly crucial when your garden contains shrubs and trees which require special attention. Never compromise, get yourself a decent North Berwick gardener.
The jobs that need doing on a routine basis are much the same with both large and small gardens in North Berwick. These jobs will need doing more regularly in the spring and summer and perhaps not at all in the winter. The list of the most common gardening jobs will come as no surprise and includes the likes of weeding, general tidying, hedge cutting and mowing lawns. It isn't unusual for professional North Berwick gardeners to help you out with decking installation, driveway cleaning, fence repairs and waste clearance.
While that "geezer 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). Generally a professional gardener will want to spend more than one hour on your garden. Certain North Berwick gardeners will want 2 or more hours work each time they visit your garden. This is not excessive if you consider that they have to drive to your house and back and might need to take your waste to the local rubbish tip, which could be miles away.
If a gardener asks for payment up front you should be very wary, as this is not normal practice. Large projects like landscaping would be an exception to this rule, when a deposit for materials will be requested. After the completion of your garden it would not be at all uncommon for your gardener to ask to be paid in cash. Be certain to get a receipt from your gardener whether you pay him/her by cash, card or cheque.
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.
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. Such kindnesses are much appreciated and will likely be repaid by extra efforts on your behalf. By chatting with your gardener you can start to establish a friendly relationship, this should enable you to immerse yourself in their ideas and soak up some of their gardening knowledge. You should not however take this to the extreme, and stand there chattering all day long, which will only hold up your gardener and make the job take longer.
Garden Clearance North Berwick
Although some gardeners will be ready to do a certain amount of garden clearance in North Berwick, the vast majority of them won't have a "Waste Carrier Licence", and will thus be restricted in the amount of waste they're able to carry. If you've got access to a council garden waste bin (you usually have to pay extra for these), you may be able to get rid of most of it bit by bit, if the quantities of waste are only small.
You'll probably have to contact a certified garden clearance specialist, if like many homeowners in North Berwick, you've got a garden which is heaped up with all manner of junk, and not simply green waste. If you have a significant amount of junk in your garden you could also look into renting a mini-skip. This would make it possible for you to dispose of not only garden waste, but maybe also clear out your garage, your shed and perhaps even you loft space.
In general "green" garden waste can be things like: topsoil, dead plants, bushes, pruned branches, hedge clippings, turf, logs, lawn trimmings, twigs and rocks. (Tags: Garden Clearances North Berwick, "Green" Waste Removal North Berwick, Garden Clearance North Berwick).
