vs UK average
A landscaper working in Northern Ireland typically charges £150–£260 a day (£19–£33 an hour), ex VAT — 18% below the UK average of £250 a day. The lowest labour rates in the UK — though materials often cost more once shipping is counted, so total job prices sit closer to the mainland than the labour figure suggests.
Landscaping is fiercely seasonal — spring bookings often fill by late winter, and the best firms quote winter work at a discount to smooth the year. Hard landscaping crews price most jobs per project with a day rate underneath for variations.
