Prestonpans Landscaping & Gardening Services

Prestonpans Gardeners: While it may be the case that not everybody in Prestonpans has a garden - there are obviously many that do, and for those people that do, keeping a garden in good shape can be something of a challenge. Putting off garden maintenance is something that plenty of property owners in Prestonpans would freely admit to being at fault for, and a garden that's left to its own devices will inevitably continue to grow and get ever more uncontrollable, so action needs to be taken. Also bear in mind, it isn't just a case of doing it once, or even once or twice a year - gardens need to be constantly maintained, and if you can't spare the time to do it, you'll need to find someone who can.

Or, maybe your garden has become overgrown and cluttered with rubbish, and you just want somebody to do some garden clearance. Employing a professional Prestonpans gardener will not only make certain that the job is done correctly but is also going to save you a considerable amount of energy and time.

Any experienced gardener should be able to help you with things like which plants will work with your garden's positioning, your soil, your gardening capabilities, and the climatic conditions in Prestonpans.

If you are hoping to have a garden to be proud about, and that will no doubt be envied by your neighbours in Prestonpans, then it may be worthwhile to hire a pro gardener on a full-time or part-time basis if you do not have the time required to accomplish it on your own.

For older property owners in Prestonpans there's sometimes a gardening service offered by Age UK, which is useful, and anybody recommended by them will have been DBS checked and approved. This service is however not free, and the fees for Age UK gardeners are in line with the trade at large, at roughly Twenty to twenty five pounds per hour, depending on the area in question. Basic garden maintenance is the guiding principle with regards to Age UK's gardeners service, and while chores like:

  • Sweeping up Fallen Leaves.
  • Digging.
  • Mowing the Grass.
  • General Tidying.
  • Spreading Compost.
  • Trimming/Pruning.
  • Cutting Back.
  • Potting.
  • Bulb Planting.
  • Weed Control.
...are included, tasks like waste removal, tree surgery and landscaping aren't.

The amount of time required to keep your garden in good shape is another factor you will have to consider. This may be more time than you envisioned, therefore you should discuss this with prospective gardeners before deciding who to employ. 1 or 2 hours per week is thought by many to be sufficient to keep a garden in Prestonpans up to par, but this is in many cases impractical. Were you to devote that limited number of hours on your garden each week, you can be pretty certain that you would quickly develop a logjam of work to do. To get the sort of outcome that you are looking for, you should be understanding when agreeing the time that is needed with the gardener, and allow for the effort, skill and time involved.

While many Prestonpans gardeners will probably have gathered their knowledge and skills throughout the years, you may bump into the odd gardener who does in fact have the appropriate horticultural qualifications and training. Certifications via the Royal Horticulture Society are the ones to to keep an eye open for, and some Prestonpans gardeners will have done their studying on a part-time basis whilst gaining experience at work. To develop their knowledge and skills some of the most highly regarded gardening firms in Prestonpans also permit their staff to work towards Level Two and Three City and Guilds Certificates. Local companies may also have given some gardeners a kick-start into horticulture by offering apprenticeships. Obviously for the most trivial tasks that you'll require in your garden, for example hedge clipping, grass cutting and weed control, you'll not need a gardener with any specific qualifications.

Any professional gardener in Prestonpans who is charging for their services needs to have some type of insurance to protect both their clients and themselves in the event of mishaps or accidents. You may be of the mind that someone participating in a leisurely task like doing work on a garden would not be particularly prone to mishaps, however the reality paints a somewhat different picture. Having to frequently tackle loose branches, spikey hedges and broken fencing can be hazardous, as can using chainsaws, hedge clippers and secateurs.

I'm positive you'll now appreciate why a good level of insurance is vital for every professional Prestonpans gardener, and why you really ought to ask for evidence of insurance before you even think about hiring anyone. You'll want to make certain that they have sufficient public liability insurance, whether you are employing a solo gardener or a large gardening enterprise in Prestonpans, and that the cover is for both damages that may be done to your property and accidents that may befall them while they're at work on your garden. With most public liability policies for gardeners, the coverage will range from £1 mill to £5 mill.

Brick Barbecues Prestonpans

Brick Barbecues Prestonpans Scotland

When the weather conditions get better in Prestonpans and the hot summer days and evenings eventually arrive, many people's thoughts turn to enjoying a little quality time outside in the garden, and maybe firing up the barbecue. The likelihood is that when you pull the cover off your old metal BBQ you will find that it has deteriorated somewhat over the wet, cold winter months and is rusty and falling to bits. Does that sound familiar? Now, how much more convenient would it be to have a lovely brick barbie just sat there ready each year anytime you feel the need to bung on a few burgers? Do not expect this to be a cheap possible solution though, because the construction materials alone will probably add up to at least £200-£300, plus the cost of labour are also significant, with the process taking a day or maybe two, dependent upon how elaborate the design is. Of course the advantages are that your BBQ will always be there ready and waiting when it's needed, the weather is going to have hardly any detrimental impact on it, and your sturdy brick-built structure will look impressive and give good service for a considerable period of time.
