Garden maintenance covers the regular work that keeps an existing garden in good shape, such as grass cutting, hedge trimming, weeding and seasonal tidy-ups.
If you need new planting, a redesign or hard landscaping such as a patio or path, you are looking at a larger project and not just routine maintenance. In that case, contact a landscaper for a quote.
Being clear about the type of work you need helps you get quotes from professionals suited to the job.
Garden maintenance is usually priced by the hour or by the visit and does not have a fixed project fee.
The cost mainly depends on the size of the garden, the amount of work involved and how often you need someone to visit.
On Bark, gardening jobs in Ireland cost around €250 on average, with prices typically ranging from about €130 to €400 depending on the work involved.
A small one-off tidy-up may cost less, while a larger garden that needs several hours of work can come in above that range. Prices can also vary by season. Spring and summer often bring more frequent grass cutting and hedge trimming, while autumn work may focus more on clearing leaves and debris.
Think about whether you need help with a single job or ongoing upkeep.
A one-off tidy-up can cost more per visit if the garden has become overgrown or needs more time to bring back under control. Regular weekly, fortnightly or monthly visits can be more efficient once the garden is in good condition, because each appointment focuses on routine maintenance rather than catching up on neglected work.
