Finding a Gardener in West Kilbride: If you cannot spare the time to tackle your tired and dreary garden, you should not be reluctant to bring in some outside help to knock it back into shape. Now, some West Kilbride people choose to fetch in a professional gardener while others plump for the "fellow down the street" who tinkers around with gardens. Whilst even professional West Kilbride gardeners don't always have formal qualifications, they can usually be relied upon to have more horticultural knowledge than any "guy down the street" is apt to have. Ultimately, you will have to choose what is best for your garden.
It is not too much to ask that any gardener treats your garden, plants and contents with a degree of respect. This means that finding a local West Kilbride gardener who does a good job and can be trusted should be your aim. This is even more important if you have plants or trees in your garden which need specialist care. Don't make do with any old rubbish, track down a proper gardener.
The thing with gardens is that the jobs that need doing are routine, the same things need doing perhaps weekly, fortnightly or monthly. Such routine jobs will need attention more frequently at certain times of the year, in particular spring and summer. You'll not be surprised to learn that the most commonly requested gardening jobs are hedge pruning, general cleaning, grass cutting and weeding. It is likely that your gardener will also help you with repairing fences, laying patios, cleaning driveways and waste removal.
Don't expect to get a decent gardener for peanuts, while that "guy down the street" might only ask for £10 to £12 per hour, you're unlikely to get a professional for much less than £20 an hour. You should anticipate your gardener needing more time than one hour is he/she is to get your garden looking good again. Most will want to put in at least 2 to 3 hours at a time to make it worth their while. This is not greed or stretching the job out, but simply making allowances for travel, unloading and waste removal when necessary.
Payment in advance is not something that gardeners usually ask for, so be cautious if your gardener requires this. When the gardener has finished working you may be asked for payment in cash, this is not at all unusual. Whatever kind of payment you and your gardener agree on, get a receipt to avoid later arguments.
Be clear about your expectations from the very beginning, prepare a list of work you need doing. Planning out exactly what goes where in your garden is important, the help and guidance of your gardener will help you to get it right. It might be sensible to verify that your gardener disposes of any waste materials as part of the service, not all West Kilbride gardeners do. When they have done a good job of tidying your garden they should really take away the rubbish.
Gardeners are used to providing their own refreshments, but this shouldn't stop you from offering them a cup of tea or even a cold drink on a hot summer's day. Acts of kindness such as this will make your gardener feel appreciated and he or she will work all the harder for it. Having regular discussions with your gardener helps you to keep abreast of the latest ideas, and also develop a friendly relationship. Don't stand there all day twittering on however, which only results in a frustrated gardener and an incomplete garden.
Tree Surgery West Kilbride
