Hedge cutting work in Dromiskin
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.
The commuter belt works on a different rhythm to the city. Households here are usually out during the day and want a key-holder they trust rather than someone different each week — which means the work tends to be regular, and the client relationships tend to last longer than in the centre.
