Hiring a gardener in Galway

Garden work splits into maintenance — mowing, hedges, tidy-ups — and landscaping projects such as patios, fencing, artificial grass and planting schemes. Projects are mostly groundwork: what is dug out, the sub-base and the drainage decide how long the result lasts.

Green waste is waste: whoever takes cuttings and soil away needs a waste collection permit.

Rules and grants that apply in County Galway

The rules in Ireland

Whoever takes green waste, soil or old paving away must hold a waste collection permit.

  • Anybody who takes your waste away must hold a waste collection permit. Handing waste to an unpermitted collector is an offence for the householder, with a fine of up to €5,000 — ask for the permit number, which collectors must show on vehicles and receipts.

What gardeners and landscapers in Galway cost, and why

What jobs on Talqero came to

Not enough comparable jobs yet to publish a range here. Talqero shows a price range only once at least five comparable jobs, agreed prices or offers exist — a range from fewer would describe a handful of jobs, not the market. Post your job and compare the offers you get.

What affects the price

  • Area and access — everything may have to go through the house
  • Removing soil, turf and old paving
  • Materials: slabs, porcelain, block paving, fencing, plants
  • Drainage and levels
  • VAT: building work on a home is charged at the reduced rate of 13.5% by a VAT-registered business — unless the materials come to more than two-thirds of the price, when Revenue’s two-thirds rule applies the goods rate to the whole job. Ask whether a quote includes VAT.

How long it usually takes

  • Mowing or a hedge: an hour or two.
  • Fencing: one to three days.
  • A patio or driveway: three days to two weeks.

What to ask before you choose

  • What sub-base and drainage will you put down?
  • Who removes the soil and waste, and with what permit?
  • What guarantee is there on the work?
  • Is VAT included?
