Garden Maintenance Ireland

Gardening companies across Ireland provide a wide variety of services to keep your garden looking its best all year round. Below is an overview of the most common services you can expect to find — along with what each typically includes and when in the year they’re most useful.


    🌿 Lawn Care & Mowing
    A healthy, well-kept lawn is often the centrepiece of a garden. Professional lawn care goes beyond just cutting the grass — it helps maintain long-term growth and improves the overall look of your outdoor space.

    Typical lawn care services include:

    • Grass cutting & edging – Regular mowing to keep your lawn neat and tidy.
    • Aeration & scarification – Improving soil health and reducing moss buildup.
    • Weed & moss control – Keeping your lawn clear of unwanted growth.
    • Fertilisation & feeding – Ensuring strong, healthy grass with the right nutrients.
    • Lawn repairs & reseeding – Fixing patchy areas for an even, full lawn.

    Best seasons:

    • Spring & Summer – Regular mowing, feeding, and weed control.
    • Autumn – Aeration and scarification for healthier growth next year.
    • Spring & Autumn – Ideal for reseeding and repairing bare patches.

    🌱 Hedge Trimming & Pruning
    Neatly trimmed hedges and shrubs can transform the appearance of a garden. Beyond looks, regular pruning also improves plant health and encourages stronger growth.

    This service often includes:

    • Shaping hedges and bushes to create a clean, uniform appearance.
    • Removing dead or diseased branches to protect the rest of the plant.
    • Seasonal pruning to encourage new growth or flowering.
    • Cutting back overgrowth to prevent hedges from becoming unmanageable.
    • Clearing away cuttings so your garden is left neat and tidy.

    Best seasons:

    • Spring & Summer – Light trims to maintain shape and encourage growth.
    • Late Winter – Major pruning for many shrubs and hedges before new growth begins.
    • Autumn – Final tidy-up before winter sets in.

    🍂 Garden Tidy-Ups & Waste Removal
    Over time, gardens naturally gather leaves, weeds, and overgrown plants. A tidy-up can quickly restore order and make your outdoor space enjoyable again.

    Tidy-up services often cover:

    • Weeding beds and borders to help flowers and plants thrive.
    • Leaf and debris clearance to keep paths and lawns clear.
    • Cutting back overgrown shrubs and plants for better shape and space.
    • Waste removal with eco-friendly disposal or recycling where possible.

    • Spring – Clear out weeds and debris left from winter.
    • Summer – Keep on top of growth during peak season.
    • Autumn – Heavy leaf clearance and cutting back before winter.

    🌻 Planting & Landscaping
    Whether you want to add a splash of colour with flowers or completely redesign your garden, landscaping services help create a space that suits your style and needs.

    Typical landscaping services include:

    • Planting new beds and borders with flowers suited to Ireland’s climate.
    • Turf laying or artificial grass installation for a low-maintenance lawn.
    • Ponds, fountains, and water features to add tranquillity.
    • Garden structures such as decking, patios, pergolas, or pathways.
    • Full garden design projects to reimagine and upgrade your outdoor space.

    • Winter – Good time for hard landscaping (patios, decking, pathways).

    🚜 Tree Surgery & Stump Removal
    Trees need proper care to remain safe and healthy. Tree surgery requires skill and often specialist equipment, making it best left to professionals.

    Tree services may include:

    • Pruning and crown reduction to manage size, shape, and safety.
    • Dead or diseased tree removal to prevent hazards.
    • Stump grinding or removal to reclaim space after a tree is cut down.

    • General tree health checks to maintain long-term growth and safety.

    Best seasons:

    • Late Autumn & Winter – Best time for pruning, when trees are dormant.
    • Spring & Summer – Emergency or safety work only, as pruning can stress trees.
    • Year-round – Stump removal and emergency tree surgery.

    💧 Power Washing & Patio Cleaning
    Outdoor surfaces like patios, driveways, and decking can quickly become dull, slippery, or moss-covered. Power washing helps restore these areas to a fresh, clean condition.

    Services usually include:

    • Deep cleaning patios, paths, and driveways to remove grime, stains, moss, and algae.
    • Fence and deck cleaning to freshen up wooden outdoor features.
    • Re-sanding block paving to stabilise and extend its lifespan.
    • Algae and moss treatments to keep surfaces safe and non-slip.

    Best seasons:

    • Summer – Maintain paths and driveways in dry weather for best results.
    • Autumn – Clear moss and algae buildup before slippery winter conditions.
