Finding a Gardener in North Queensferry: Bringing in some outside assistance to knock a tired and bedraggled garden back into shape is something many busy people have to do these days, especially after a long and blustery winter. Now, you might be tempted to bring in the "geezer down the road" who you have heard does some gardening, or more sensibly contact a proper North Queensferry gardener. The chances are that "fella down the road" will not have much gardening knowledge, while the professional garder will probably have horticultural qualifications.
You want your garden to be treated with respect by someone who knows exactly what they are doing. So, finding a trustworthy and reliable North Queensferry gardener is something you should take care in doing. This is particularly crucial when your garden contains shrubs and trees which require special attention. Don't allow a cowboy to ruin your garden, hire a decent one at the outset.
Gardens are all about routine maintenance, with jobs to be done fortnightly or monthly, even with smaller gardens. These routine jobs have to be done more frequently throughout the spring and summertime. People with gardens in North Queensferry most often want jobs done like lawn mowing, hedge trimming, general tidying and weeding. Bigger tasks such as waste clearance, driveway cleaning, fence repairs and laying patios can also be handled by the majority of gardeners.
Gardeners rates vary, but professionals will probably set you back around £20 per hour, with that "geezer down the street" accepting perhaps £10 or £12 for the same time period. You should anticipate your gardener needing more time than one hour is he/she is to get your garden looking good again. Many gardeners might even insist on a minimum visit time of at least two hours or so. It is not just a case of working on your garden, they need to allow for travelling time and visits to the local rubbish tip.
Don't pay any North Queensferry gardener in advance of the job being done, this is not the norm and they may disappear with your money. However, you might expect to pay a deposit for large jobs such as decking installation. Quite often a gardener will ask to be paid in cash once the work is complete and that is of course fine. Always insist on a receipt whether you pay by cheque, card or cash, proof of payment is important in case of any future arguments.
Let the gardener know about your precise expectations before any work begins. The layout of your garden is something any decent gardener will be able to help you with, they will know which plants perform best where, don't be scared to ask for guidance. Verify that any garden waste resulting from the work will be taken away, not all gardeners will do this.
Offer your gardener a hot or cold drink while they are at work and the use of a toilet is also helpful. Gardeners are appreciative of gestures like this and will no doubt reward you by doing the best possible job. It is useful to always have a friendly relationship with your gardener, so try to have regular chats with him/her, sharing ideas and opinions. But don't hold them up with incessant chatter, this will only hinder them and may result in inferior or incomplete work.
