Finding a Gardener in Port Ellen: You shouldn't be afraid to ask for some assistance if your garden in Port Ellen is in a bit of a mess and you don't really have the time to do it yourself. Now, you might be tempted to bring in the "fellow down the street" who you have heard does some gardening, or more sensibly contact a proper Port Ellen gardener. The chances are that "geezer down the road" will not have much gardening knowledge, while the professional garder will probably have horticultural qualifications.
It is never a good idea to have somebody looking after your garden who doesn't know what they're doing. Therefore you must find a gardener in Port Ellen who can be depended upon to do a fine job. Some plants and trees need special care, in which case this is even more important. Don't settle for any old gardener, get a decent one.
Gardens are all about routine maintenance, with jobs to be done fortnightly or monthly, even with smaller gardens. These jobs will need doing more regularly in the spring and summer and perhaps not at all in the winter. In general weeding, general tidying, lawn mowing and hedge pruning are the common jobs that people in Port Ellen need doing in their gardens. It isn't unusual for professional Port Ellen gardeners to help you out with repairing fences, decking installation, cleaning driveways and waste clearance.
Who you hire may be dependent on your budget and whilst that "geezer down the road" might only charge you £10 to £15 per hour, a seasoned professional is going to set you back nearer to £20 for an hours gardening. You shouldn't expect too much from your gardener on his/her first visit, because gardening takes time and dependant on the amount of work that needs doing, several hours may be required. The majority will generally prefer to spend 2 to 3 hours on each visit. The reason for this is that they have to allow time for travel, waste disposal and getting tools on and off their truck.
It should never be necessary to pay your gardener in advance of doing the work, give short shrift to anybody who asks for this. Don't be surprised if your gardener asks for cash payment, this isn't unusual, but of course only when the work is finished. Once you have paid your gardener get a receipt, so there are no disputes about unpaid bills.
Always explain exactly what your needs are, a list of projects will make things clearer for the gardener. Ask your gardener about your specific garden conditions and get advice about the best plants to grow to get the perfect results. Not every gardener is prepared to remove all the green waste, it would pay you to verify that yours is happy to do this.
It pays to be thoughtful and supplying your gardener with a drink or two will help his/her day along. Your gardener will be grateful for such kindness. Pop out for a chat with your gardener from time to time so you can benefit from their ideas and keep a friendly rapport. However, don't follow them around all day, generally getting in their way and bombarding them with constant questions.
Port Ellen Garden Design
You might need to find a specialist Port Ellen garden designer if you are planning to totally re-design your garden. It might depend on exactly what you have in mind, simple re-designs will be within the capabilities of most professional gardeners. The easiest way to find out is to have a discussion with your gardener. If not it will be a case of finding an expert.
Garden Clearance Port Ellen
While many gardeners will be ready to do a certain amount of garden clearance in Port Ellen, the majority of them will not hold a Waste Carrier Licence, and will consequently be restricted in the amount of waste they're able to dispose of. If you've got a council garden waste bin (you usually pay extra for this), you might be able to get rid of most of it gradually, if the amounts of waste are only small.
Needless to say, many gardens in Port Ellen are heaped up with all manner of garbage, and not only "green" waste, so for this type of task you will probably have to call a licenced Port Ellen garden clearance specialist. You could always look into renting a mini-skip if you've got a good amount of waste in your garden. This will allow you to get rid of not just garden waste, but maybe also clear out your garage, your shed and perhaps even you loft.
Generally hedge clippings, plants, bushes, tree branches, logs, dirt, sawdust, turf, twigs and lawn trimmings, would be thought of as "green" waste.
