Gardening and landscaping work in Ireland

Gardening splits into two kinds of work that pay differently: maintenance, which repeats fortnightly through the growing season and builds a round, and landscaping, which is project work at a much higher value. Most professionals here do both, using the round to fill the weeks between projects.

What comes up in this trade

  • Fortnightly maintenance from spring to autumn
  • Planting, borders and seasonal tidying
  • Landscaping projects: paths, beds and turfing
  • Winter work: pruning, clearing and structure

What the work needs

  • Mower, strimmer and hand tools, plus transport for them
  • Somewhere to take green waste, or a disposal arrangement
