Finding a Gardener in Shotts: 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. Now, you should be looking for the "right" kind of help in the shape of a professional gardener rather than the "geezer down the road" who puts his hand to anything. Though now and again you will find that "fellow down the road" has some reasonable gardening knowledge, a professional gardener in Shotts will generally be more qualified in horticultural matters. This article may help you to decide.
If you cherish your garden you will want a gardener with some savvy, who appreciates what you have and looks after it correctly. So make sure you find a gardener in Shotts who you can trust to do a good job. If you have a garden containing certain trees and shrubs, the importance of this is even more apparent. Avoid settling for any old chancer, find yourself a decent gardener.
The thing with gardens is that the jobs that need doing are routine, the same things need doing perhaps weekly, fortnightly or monthly. These routine jobs have to be done more frequently throughout the spring and summertime. Typically people with gardens in Shotts need jobs done like hedge cutting, grass cutting, general tidying and weeding. Tasks such as garden fencing, patio installation, cleaning driveways and waste removal are other things that your gardener will probably help you with.
Regular garden maintenance can cost quite a bit of money because an experienced gardener will probably charge you something like twenty pounds per hour worked. It is unlikely that any gardener will be able to achieve very much in just one hour. For it to be worth their while, gardeners generally favour doing 2 or 3 hours at a stretch. This is to allow for travel, unloading tools and waste disposal.
Don't pay any Shotts gardener in advance of the job being done, this is not the norm and they may disappear with your money. When the gardener has finished working you may be asked for payment in cash, this is not at all unusual. Be certain to get a receipt from your gardener whether you pay him/her by cheque, card or cash.
Before any work commences make sure your gardener is clear about what needs to be done and has a plan of action to complete it. Knowing which plants are most suitable for your garden's condition isn't always easy, so ask your gardener for advice on this. Check that your gardener will remove any waste such as lawn trimmings and branches, some do not. You want to avoid being left with large quantities of garden waste that you cannot get shot of.
While most gardeners bring their own food and refreshments it doesn't hurt to ask if they would like a cup of tea or coffee while they are working. Gardeners are appreciative of gestures like this and will no doubt reward you by doing the best possible job. It helps to keep things friendly, so popping out for a chat every now and again will help to do this and also give you the chance to get some tips from your gardener. 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.
