Hedge cutting work in Ireland
Hedge cutting is seasonal for a legal reason as well as a practical one: nesting birds restrict when hedges can be cut, and clients often do not know it. It is heavier work than mowing, pays more per visit, and the waste is usually the client’s biggest question.

- Annual and twice-yearly cuts, timed around nesting
- Reducing overgrown boundaries
- Shaping and topping established hedges
- Removing and disposing of the cuttings
What the work needs
