Lawn mowing work in Ireland
Mowing is the most repeatable work in the garden trades: from April to September the same lawns need cutting every week or two, and a compact round of them is steady income with almost no quoting. The constraint is travel — a scattered round loses in the van what it earns on the lawn.
What comes up in this trade
- Weekly or fortnightly cuts through the growing season
- First cut of the year, which is always the heaviest
- Edging and strimming alongside the cut
- Holiday cover for clients who normally do it themselves
What the work needs
- Mower and strimmer, and a way to carry them
- A round tight enough that travel does not eat the margin
