Gardening and landscaping work in Ardfert
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.
Rural work looks different from city work, and the difference is worth knowing before you start. Properties are bigger, jobs take longer and pay more per visit, and you travel further between them — so the professionals who do well here build a round in a few towns rather than chasing single jobs across the county.
Requests in Ardfert and the surrounding parts of Co. Kerry go out to professionals who cover the area. You say where you travel, so you are not offered work an hour away.
