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
