North Dublin mixes busy commuter towns with some of the most exposed coastal gardens in the county. Most of it falls under Fingal County Council. Here's what we see across the area.
Swords
Lots of newer estates with boundary hedges and trees planted as saplings that have since taken off. Leylandii and laurel that were waist-high ten years ago are now over the fence. Regular hedge cutting and lawn care keep them manageable.
Malahide and Howth
Coastal gardens face salt wind and storms coming in off the sea. Tough coastal hedging does well, while exposed trees can take a battering. After a big storm, it's worth checking trees for split or hanging branches. Many Howth gardens are also on slopes with steps and tight access, which affects how work is planned.
A good gardener saves you hours every month. A bad one leaves you with a scalped lawn and a pile of cuttings. Here's what to ask before you book anyone.
Hedge cutting in Ireland comes with a few rules, mostly to protect nesting birds. Here's when to trim, when to hold off, and how often different hedges need cutting.
