Finding a Gardener in Slamannan: 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, some people in Slamannan opt for the "fella down the road" who can put his hand to anything, while others choose a professional gardener with an established reputation. Although there is no guarantee that a professional gardener will have any recognised horticultural qualifications, he/she will almost certainly have a great deal more gardening knowledge than that "geezer down the road" is going to have. You will need to decide which gardener is most suitable for your requirements.
Everyone likes their garden to be looked after properly and by a gardener who knows his/her stuff. This means that finding a local Slamannan gardener who does a good job and can be trusted should be your aim. When you have a garden containing trees and shrubs needing expert care, this is even more important. Don't settle for second best, get a professional gardener.
The thing about gardening is that there are always jobs that need doing routinely, even on small gardens. In spring and summer you should organise more frequent gardener visits as the jobs that need doing increase. You'll not be surprised to learn that the most commonly requested gardening jobs are weeding, grass cutting, general tidying and hedge cutting. There are plenty more jobs that might need doing for example waste clearance, patio installation, driveway cleaning and fence repairs, most Slamannan gardeners will also be willing to tackle these.
Who you hire may be dependent on your budget and whilst that "guy down the street" 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. Most gardeners will have a minimum visit time of 2 hours. This is to allow for travel, unloading tools and waste disposal.
You should never expect to have to pay any gardener in advance. More involved tasks like garden fencing can be considered an exception, since expensive materials need to be obtained and quite rightly a deposit will be requested. After the completion of your garden it would not be at all uncommon for your gardener to ask to be paid in cash. To avoid any arguments later on, make sure you get a receipt no matter what kind of payment you agree on.
Before the gardener gets to work on your garden make sure he or she is clear about your requirements, a list of expected tasks might help. Your gardener is there to help you, so if you have any doubts about plants or their positioning, ask for advice. Check that your gardener will remove any waste such as lawn trimmings and branches, some do not.
Working in the garden can get cold in winter and hot in summer, so spare a thought for your gardener and keep him/her supplied with a drink. This is always appreciated by gardeners and they will repay you by doing an extra fine 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. It is not however a good idea to pester them constantly which will have the effect of annoying them and slowing the work down.
