Finding a Gardener in Stromness: 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 Stromness opt for the "fellow down the road" who can put his hand to anything, while others choose a professional gardener with an established reputation. Whilst a professional gardener might not necessarily have qualifications he/she will likely know considerably more than that "chap down the road".
Gardeners who know their stuff will have respect for your garden and treat it much as they would their own. So, try to find a local Stromness gardener who is trustworthy and reliable. The importance of this cannot be stressed enough, when certain shrubs and trees are involved. Find yourself a decent Stromness gardener, not just any guy who knocks on your door.
Gardens are all about routine maintenance, with jobs to be done fortnightly or monthly, even with smaller gardens. Gardener visits will generally need to be more regular in spring and summer, with jobs being done more frequently. As a rule trimming hedges, lawn mowing, weeding and general tidying are the typical gardening jobs that need doing on a regular basis. Other jobs that professional gardeners will usually handle include: cleaning driveways, waste removal, repairing fences and decking installation.
Expect to shell out something like £20 per hour for hiring the expertise of a professional gardener, the "geezer down the street" will be a bit cheaper. Don't expect miracles, especially on the first session, and count on it taking more than a single hour for your gardener to make much difference to the look of your garden. At least two to three hours work is often the minimum that gardeners will wish to put in each time. Bear in mind the fact that they have travelling time to and from your home, and they may need to visit the local dump to dispose or your garden waste.
It would not be normal for a genuine Stromness gardener to ask for payment in advance, so be wary if this happens to you. Of course gardeners often ask for payment in cash after the work is completed. Having proof of payment is essential to avoid quarrels about unpaid bills, so make sure you get a receipt.
Always explain exactly what your needs are, a list of projects will make things clearer for the gardener. Always ask your gardener for advice, he or she will know exactly what plants are best suited to your garden conditions. Ensure that the gardener will take away lawn cuttings, weeds and twigs afterwards, not all do this.
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. Such kindnesses are much appreciated and will likely be repaid by extra efforts on your behalf. Pop out for a chat with your gardener from time to time so you can benefit from their ideas and keep a friendly rapport. But don't hold them up with incessant chatter, this will only hinder them and may result in inferior or incomplete work.
