Kilsyth Landscaping & Gardening Services

Kilsyth Gardeners: While it might be the case that not everyone in Kilsyth has a garden that needs looking after - there are certainly a lot who do, and for those people that do, keeping a garden in good condition can be a demanding task. Putting off the maintenance of the garden is one of the things that a lot of property owners in Kilsyth would freely admit to doing, and a garden that is left to its own devices will just keep growing and getting ever more unmanageable, so action needs to be taken. Of course this is not a one-off task and must be done quite frequently. Hence, if you haven't got the spare time to do it, bringing in a professional Kilsyth gardener should be your priority.

If you are looking for a garden to be proud about, and that will be the envy of your friends and neighbours in Kilsyth, then it might be worthwhile to hire a professional gardener on a part or full-time basis if you do not have the inclination or time to accomplish it on your own.

For older garden owners in Kilsyth a gardening service is sometimes provided by Age UK, which is useful, and any tradesperson supplied by them will have been DBS checked and approved. Although some people may assume that this service is free, this is definitely not the case, and depending where you live, Age UK normally charge around £20-25 per hour. General garden maintenance is the guiding principle with regards to Age UK's gardening service, and while things like:

  • Sweeping up Fallen Leaves.
  • Laying Compost.
  • Planting.
  • Lawn Mowing.
  • Digging.
  • Potting.
  • Pruning/Trimming.
  • Cutting Back.
  • General Tidying.
  • Weed Control.
...are included, projects like waste removal, landscaping and tree surgery are not.

You must understand that if you want to hire a gardener to care for and maintain your garden in Kilsyth, that you appreciate the hours that will be needed to achieve this aim. Property owners on the whole appear to assume that an hour or two each week is enough to keep a garden at its best, and of course this may be sufficient if you have a fairly small garden, or if your garden is already well-maintained, but for a lot of Kilsyth gardens this would make very little impact. If you imagine what work you could do on your own garden if you devoted just 1 or 2 hours per week, you will soon appreciate that it would quickly get overgrown, and much needed chores would have to be put off for another day! So, bear these points in mind when you're discussing times with your gardener, and appreciate that in order to get a good outcome, some effort, time and skill will be necessary.

A great many professional gardeners in Kilsyth will likely have horticultural qualifications or many years of experience that can also include volunteering with conservation and wildlife trusts which are nationally recognized. A rare few Kilsyth gardeners will have studied in their spare time to gain certificates from the Royal Horticulture Society (which is a good qualification to watch out for), whilst gaining practical, hands-on experience working on gardens. Some the most highly regarded Kilsyth gardening companies also allow their employees to work towards Level 2 and 3 City and Guilds Certificates to improve their skillsets and knowledge. Some gardeners in Kilsyth will have begun as apprentices, and once again local businesses will have provided them with this kick-start into gardening. Some of these time-served apprentice gardeners may perhaps be the most experienced of all. Certificates and qualifications of course won't be an important issue if all that you are needing is your hedge cut back, your lawn trimmed or your driveway weeded.

Public Liability Insurance: To cover both themselves and their clients in the event of accidents or mishaps, any trustworthy gardener in Kilsyth who's charging for their services ought to have some type of insurance. Most people in Kilsyth might assume that working on a garden is a leisurely pursuit that does not carry a high risk of accidents, but the reality is quite different. The use of sharp tools such as secateurs, chainsaws and hedge trimmers can be quite dangerous for the user, as can being faced with wasps nests, thorny shrubs and damaged branches.

Having clarified these points, I am certain that you'll fully appreciate why every professional gardener in Kilsyth should have a good level of insurance coverage, and asking for proof of this fact should be a a major priority. You'll need to make certain that they've got adequate public liability insurance, whether you're hiring a large gardening company or a self-employed gardener in Kilsyth, and that the cover is for both damages that may be done to your property and accidents that may happen to them while they're working in your garden. With most public liability policies for gardeners, the coverage will range from 1 to 5 million pounds.

Obtaining the Best Plants for Your Garden

I know you remember how thrilled you were when you bought your new house and saw a large piece of land you wanted to use for a vegetable and flower garden. You could possibly have gone to the nearest garden store and bought whatever plant and flowers seemed nice. You selected and planted all those plants and flowers in your new garden, but these days half of them are dry and half of them will not grow. This is mostly because you did not make sure that the plants you bought would respond good to the soil and the amount of sunlight your new garden gets. If you want to succeed in your gardening, here are some suggestions you should follow.

To begin with, you have to know what kind of soil you have now. Some dirt will normally have a great deal of moisture to it and some soil will always end up being dry. The way the soil can absorb water can help determine if it will dry up quickly or not. If you discover that this soil tends to dry quickly, you will probably want to get plants that don't need as much water. If the soil in your back garden stays wet for a long time after a rain, then you probably require plants that can handle wet soil and not mold up. This is only the beginning to find the right plants for your garden.

Garden Plants Kilsyth

The next matter you simply must consider is the degree of sunlight your garden will receive everyday. You could have plants that thrive in intense sunlight. You will also experience plants that can't deal with too much sunlight and simply die. The same can often happen for gardens that may be under a lot of shade. Be sure that what ever form of sunlight your garden receives you choose plants that can survive in that lighting.

Another thing to give thought to is making sure that the plants are not too close together. In case you have all of your plants bunched together there is a good chance that all the plants will not get the water and nutrients they need. A lot of plants can simply die as a result. Thus, you want to be certain that you have 1 1/2 feet to 2 feet of space between each plant. If you want to have large plants in your garden, you should have much more space between plants as well.

If you follow these fundamental tips, you will have no trouble creating a beautiful and thriving garden. You will also end up spending a lot of time enjoying your garden instead of keeping it alive. You have to remember your garden is something that you should look at and enjoy, not something to work at every day.

Trellis Fence

Trellis Fence Kilsyth (Dialling code	01236)

If you've got an forgotten area of the garden which could do with a bit of extra privacy, but also needs light to filter through, a trellis fence is the solution. This means that they're a perfect alternative for boundaries between neighbouring houses, or when you would like to screen a pathway or road, without establishing a solid obstruction.

Trellis fencing can be installed sparingly to good effect, but can also be joined together as an effective physical boundary in its own right, with a choice of panel sizes available to match every garden. Jazz up your current fencing with a narrow band of trellis and use them to entwine climbing plants around and form an attractive feature. The popular name for this feature is fence top trellis.

Small hole trellis fencing panels are also available to buy, so that you are able to shield parts of your garden that you'd rather not see, for instance waste bins and compost heaps. These also provide a softer feel to blocking an area from unwelcome eyes, than can be achieved with a solid fence panel.
