Hello Carole, it's much easier to check these days, with Rated People (there are others) you can check previous jobs by individual gardeners online. I'd come and give you a quote but I work in London! You can look me up to see what I mean, I'm sure there will be knowledgeable gardeners near you. They will also know the local climate, soil conditions etc better than me. Regards

I agree with Pete, having ratings from clients is invaluable. Also before you decide on who to go with invite them round to have a look at your garden with you and talk through what needs to be done and when. They should be able to name most of your plants and answer your questions and you'll be able to gauge their knowledge. Good luck in your search Craig Spruce Garden Services Edinburgh & Lothians
