Lawn mowing work in Ringsend

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.

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 Ringsend 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.

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
