Grounds maintenance work in Co. Limerick
Grounds work is a contract rather than a visit, and that is the attraction: the income is known months ahead. It is commercial or communal ground — estates, business parks, schools — so the surfaces carry people, the schedule is documented, and hedge work has to sit inside the nesting restrictions rather than around your diary.
A city county gives you the mix that is hardest to find elsewhere: enough density to fill a week without long drives, and enough variety that the work does not disappear when one type of client goes quiet. Regular domestic work forms the base, and end-of-tenancy and office contracts sit on top of it.
