Finding a Gardener in Old Kilpatrick: If your garden is in a bit of a state and you don't have the time to sort it out yourself, there is no shame in calling in some help. 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? While you don't need horticultural qualifications to be a gardener, most professional gardeners in the Old Kilpatrick area will have a lot more knowledge than that "fella down the street" is likely to have. The choice is yours at the end of the day.
It is not too much to ask that any gardener treats your garden, plants and contents with a degree of respect. So take care to track down a local Old Kilpatrick gardener who can be trusted to do a decent job. If you've got trees, plants and shrubs needing special attention, this will become more important still. Don't allow a cowboy to ruin your garden, hire a decent one at the outset.
There are plenty of jobs that require regular attention even if you've only got a small garden. In spring and summer you should organise more frequent gardener visits as the jobs that need doing increase. In general mowing lawns, general cleaning, weeding and hedge trimming are the common jobs that people in Old Kilpatrick need doing in their gardens. Most Old Kilpatrick gardeners will also take on jobs like decking installation, waste removal, cleaning driveways and fence repairs.
Experienced gardeners don't come cheap and if you are being charged around £20 per hour, that is about average. Most Old Kilpatrick gardeners will not want to do just one hours work. At least two to three hours work is often the minimum that gardeners will wish to put in each time. 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.
It would not be normal for a genuine Old Kilpatrick gardener to ask for payment in advance, so be wary if this happens to you. This rule may not apply with larger projects such as decking installation when payment of some money for materials is normal. Payment in cash is not unusual for gardeners, though this will be requested after all work is completed and approved. No matter what form of payment you agree on, be sure to get a receipt so there are no arguments later on.
Right from the start and before any work commences, ensure your gardener has a clear understanding of exactly what needs doing. Don't be afraid to ask for advice, your gardener is the best person to tell you which plants are best for your garden. If there is going to be a lot of waste produced by your gardener, double check they he/she will take it away afterwards. Garden waste is not the easiest stuff to get rid of, so make sure they take it away.
It pays to be thoughtful and supplying your gardener with a drink or two will help his/her day along. Gardeners are appreciative of gestures like this and will no doubt reward you by doing the best possible job. Having regular discussions with your gardener helps you to keep abreast of the latest ideas, and also develop a friendly relationship. 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.
