Grass cutting?

zuroph

So I've left my back garden get in quite the bit of a state, and need to get it sorted. Its prob too high now for just a lawnmower, and prob needs a strim too.
anyone got any recommendations for someone to ring to get it sorted out? and how much should I expect to pay? average semi d back garden about 36ft in length.

Could you not rent a strimmer and tackle it yourself??

Mc Love

Why dont you magic it away? Or create an illusion that the grass is actually cut

Petrol and a match I'm telling you, much cheaper and a lot more effective.

Hi

Check out the classified section of the post always people in there advertising lawn cutting services...


and now the unhelpfull bit...

in these recessionary times..my suggestion would be to harvest it and bail it and sell it to some farmers..

Have you any friendly neighbours who'd be willing to help you out as a favour?

saw nine replies, thought to myself "that was quick!" :rolleyes:

I can't do it myself, as I'm weak on painkillers at the moment. gonna give a few numbers from the post a ring, but was wondering did anyone have anybody specific that they recommended.

2-3 foot, access is via side gate, wide enough for lawnmower, not for a trailer. The grass isnt too thick, but theres some higher stalks growing, and some weeds.

I'd recommend a guy who goes under the name of Lawnmaster.

What happened to the days when some young lads with a lawnmower rang your door bell asking if you wanted your grass cut for a few quid?

I know! I've been waiting weeks and weeks hoping someone would call to the door!

Mc Love

Living in the wrong area

Maybe the height of the grass has put them off?

All the people on boards in Limerick with no job, I'd be glad to bring my strimmer out there and shave away at it for an hour or two for you, leave you with it low enough to cut it with the lawnmower

Clareman

With the weather the way it is and the fact that you more than likely don't want to have to redo it every week, you could cut it with a lawnmower up to the highest it'll go without the bag on, the cut the cuttings, that'll mulch the cuttings back into the lawn, not only feed it a bit but also keep it down a bit, save you doing it again and again (paying for it that is)

see, I figure theres got to be a few guys unemployed doing handywork like this, I'd be glad to be throwing someone a few quid to do it. even have the lawnmower there, just need someone who can strim it and cut it back for me, tidy it up.

padma

no problem, it would be a joy.Pm me and I'll give you my contact details etc. Im away in Dublin tomorrow, saturday and sunday, so anytime next week I'll shave it down for you. I'm no professional but when I was a youngfella I had a few summers of regular customers. My strimmers petrol so don't need electricity

Wanna come over and clean my place while you're at it?

padma

No problem test, damn I may set up a small business on this,

probasic

My mother uses a really good guy called Darragh, Ennis Road area, Had him do the trees and bushes in my back garden recently, I will get his number for you, he is also so cheap I am beginning to wonder if he makes any profit at all.

Jumpy

Dude, I live right down the road from you if I remember correctly, I could probably wheel my mower up to you.

zuroph

There was a guy called Darragh doing the garden next door today when I got home, was gonna ask him what the story was, but he was gone when i went back later. Padma says he'll be about next week to give it a go over for me. thanks for all the help guys.
