Hedge cutting work in Dalkey
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.
Dublin has the densest cleaning market in the country, and the most competition for it. Apartment turnovers, short-let changeovers and office contracts run all year rather than in season, which is what makes it possible to build a full week here without travelling far between jobs.
Requests in Dalkey and the surrounding parts of Co. Dublin go out to professionals who cover the area. You say where you travel, so you are not offered work an hour away.
