Garden Maintenance in Co. Kildare
11 businesses offering garden maintenance across Co. Kildare.
Ireland's growing season is long, mild and wet, which is pleasant for plants and relentless for anyone keeping a garden under control. Grass grows for most of the year rather than in a summer burst, and moss thrives in exactly the damp shade most Irish lawns sit in. That is why maintenance here is usually sold as a recurring visit rather than a single tidy up, and why it is worth settling what a visit includes: grass cutting alone and a round that also covers edging, beds, weeding and hedges are very different arrangements.
Timing is not only a matter of preference. Section 40 of the Wildlife Act 1976 prohibits the cutting, grubbing, burning or other destruction of vegetation growing on any land not then cultivated between 1 March and 31 August each year, which is the reason roadside and boundary hedgerow work is done in the autumn and winter. Separately, and at any time of year, section 22 of the Wildlife Acts makes it a criminal offence to wilfully destroy, injure or mutilate the nest or eggs of a wild bird, or to wilfully disturb a wild bird on or near a nest containing eggs or unflown young. A contractor who checks a hedge for nests before starting is not being fussy.
The practical questions are about waste and access. Green waste from clearance and hedge cutting is bulky, so establish whether removal is included and where it is going, and confirm whether a machine can reach the back garden or whether everything travels through the house. Cost follows the size of the garden, how often the visits are, the length and height of the hedges, whether waste removal is included, and how overgrown things have got before anyone starts.

Common questions
When can hedges be cut in Ireland?
Section 40 of the Wildlife Act 1976 prohibits cutting, grubbing, burning or otherwise destroying vegetation on land not then cultivated between 1 March and 31 August, with limited exemptions including road safety works and the ordinary course of agriculture or forestry. Autumn and winter are therefore when hedgerow work is normally done. Regardless of the date, it is an offence at any time of year to destroy a wild bird's nest or to disturb a bird on a nest with eggs or unflown young, so a hedge should be checked before it is cut.
What should a maintenance visit include?
That is entirely a matter of what you agree, which is why it is worth writing down. A basic round is usually mowing, strimming and edging. A fuller one adds weeding beds, pruning shrubs, feeding and treating the lawn, clearing leaves in autumn and cutting hedges once a year. Ask what is in and what is extra before the first visit, particularly whether grass clippings and prunings are taken away.
How often does a garden need attention?
More often through the growing season than outside it, and the frequency is driven mostly by the lawn, since grass sets the pace. Fortnightly visits through the growing months with a lighter schedule over winter is a common pattern. Letting the interval stretch too far tends to cost more in the end, because a cut that takes off too much growth at once stresses the lawn and leaves it looking worse for weeks.
Who deals with the green waste?
Ask, because it varies and the volume from a clearance or a hedge cut is substantial. Some contractors include removal in the price, some charge for it separately, and some leave it bagged for you to deal with. Where it is included, it is reasonable to ask where the waste is going. Agreeing this in advance avoids the common ending where the garden looks well and there is a heap behind the shed.
