The Importance of Maintaining Sedum Roofs
Sedum or green roofs are a fantastic way to enhance biodiversity, improve insulation, and manage stormwater runoff. However, like any living system, they require ongoing care to ensure they perform at their best. Regular maintenance helps protect your investment and keeps your roof looking and functioning beautifully all year round.

Would highly recommend. In a crowded market, Grasshopper stand out for their professionalism. Getting written quotes promptly, having messages & calls returned, confirming dates & turning up on time- can be hard to find great customer service these days but they did that. And the gardening work itself (big cut back of out of control hedges, ivy & bushes) was done really well. The guys worked non stop & left the place spotless. Thank you, will use again & will recommend to all.
The guys showed up on time with all of the equipment and cut the grass, cleared the leaves and trimmed what needed to be trimmed. Very effective, very tidy and the garden looks great!

Very pleased with the work that was carried out over the two days the lads were here. The garden was so overgrown and they cut everything back to how it should be. Would definitely recommend

Excellent service and would highly recommend the services of Grasshopper. Arrived on time and did a super job in pruning trees and ivy and removed all the trimmings. Garden was left clean and tidy. Deirdre Walsh Ranelagh
5 out of 5 here for Grasshopper. From the quoting to completion, the team did a great job on our trees and step. We are delighted with the results and appreciated the expertise and guidance we got from Tadgh and the lads. I will use Grasshopper again in the future.
Had Grasshopper Services North Dublin carry out pruning, trimming, autumn clearup on my garden. Noel and Jason did a fantastic job and cleaned up meticulously and took away all debris afterwards. Delighted with everything.
5 out of 5 from me. The lads showed up early and got to work - no fuss. End result is great and I'd be happy to recommend them to anyone looking to get work done in their garden. One thing that definitely distinguished them from others for me is their knowledge of the various plants/trees etc. - from quoting their scientific names to understanding the nature of when / if it's possible to transplant vs times of the year etc.A cut above for sure from the many others who claim to be gardening services out there. These lads actually know what they are doing.
Would highly recommend Grasshopper. They were out with us today trimming hedges and filling in a gap where a part of an old hedge had died. They did a super job and the hedge looks great again. They were out with us twice previously pruning a pear tree. We have always found them to be extremely reliable, always come when they say. Also they really know their stuff about plants and trees, have very pleasant staff and the prices are reasonable. Will definitely use again!
Grasshopper deliver a very reliable, consistent and competitively priced service to our development of over 100 houses with landscaped communal grounds. Weekly maintenance of front gardens and common areas is delivered by a friendly team. Always responsive to requests. We have also used Grasshoppers tree surgery services and found that to be very professional and efficient.
Excellent service. Stephen and the lads are sound and their work is always great. Have no issues in recommending them.
Damian transformed my garden in a morning form a bit of a mess into a much more manageable space. I'm delighted with future potential of the garden and look forward to working with Grasshopper services again. Worth mentioning impressive horticultural knowledge and a considered approach to pruning/removing plants. Thank you!
We live part of the time in Dublin and needed someone to look after our raised flower beds when we are away. We hired Grasshopper Services and have been very pleased with their work. Damian is the landscape specialist who works on our property. We are ever amazed at his knowledge of plants and their needs. He does an amazing job trimming and pruning and preparing the gardens for the winter. He also does an excellent job keeping the weeds at bay. We have a walled garden with no back entrance so Damian has to carry the waste through our Victorian rowhouse. He is very conscientious and careful when traversing our home. He is always on time. I would wholeheartedly recommend Grasshopper Services and especially Damian to look after a garden.
So pleased with the work carried out in my overgrown garden by Grasshopper Garden Services. Trees and shrubs were cut back with both care an aesthetic awareness to leave a beautiful and manageable area. The team were very professional and a pleasure to deal with, from the initial enquiry right through to the hard work carried out by Noel and Jason on the day.
