Hedge cutting work in Ballinrobe
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.
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 Ballinrobe and the surrounding parts of Co. Mayo go out to professionals who cover the area. You say where you travel, so you are not offered work an hour away.
