Finding a Gardener in Peebles: You should never be ashamed to ask for assistance if your Peebles garden is a bit lacklustre and you simply cannot find the time to tackle it yourself. It's often easy to just bring in the "geezer down the road" who does odd jobs and gardening on the side, but think carefully, would a proper gardener be a better choice? The problem is that "fellow down the road" will probably know very little about gardening, whereas a professional will have a wide spectrum of knowledge.
Gardeners who know their stuff will have respect for your garden and treat it much as they would their own. So take care to track down a local Peebles gardener who can be trusted to do a decent job. Even if in your trees and plants are pretty ordinary they still need to be handled with care and dedication. Take your time and get a proper Peebles gardener.
The routine jobs which need doing in the garden are likely to be much the same regardless whether your garden is small or big. It goes without saying that regular garden maintenance is needed more frequently during the spring and summer months with a decline in the winter. As a rule weeding, lawn mowing, general cleaning and hedge trimming are the typical gardening jobs that need doing on a regular basis. Other jobs that professional gardeners will usually handle include: driveway cleaning, decking installation, repairing fences and waste removal.
How much you pay depends on who you hire, the hourly rate for a professional gardener will be at least £20, while you might get away with £10 - £15 if you take a chance on that "bloke down the road". Certainly for the first visit you should reckon on your gardener needing more than an hour to get the job done. The majority will generally prefer to spend 2 to 3 hours on each visit. 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.
You should be suspicious of any gardener who demands payment in advance. When the gardener has finished working you may be asked for payment in cash, this is not at all unusual. You don't want any arguments about payment in the future, so be sure to get a receipt.
Right from the start and before any work commences, ensure your gardener has a clear understanding of exactly what needs doing. Your gardener is there to help you, so if you have any doubts about plants or their positioning, ask for advice. It might be sensible to verify that your gardener disposes of any waste materials as part of the service, not all Peebles gardeners do.
It never hurts to be polite to those working on your property, therefore you should always offer them a drink. Your gardener will be grateful for such kindness. Go out and talk to your gardener now and again to keep a friendly rapport going and also to pick their brains. Most gardeners will not however want you standing over them all day nattering.
