my reasons for starting Peter Donegan Landscaping Ltd are probably quite different to those of most in business [?] to be very honest. But as I have said recently it always comes back to the fact that I love what I do.
With that in mind, I was thinking that maybe the Donegan Landscaping team might [...]

yes, you read it right! I did the car [click here] and the boat [click here]. And you guessed I want to do a plane. It completes the trilogy of land, sea and air.
The question is can you help? Not too big! Not a jumbo! Just one like this or close enough. I don’t want [...]

I met Catherine Costello, the project manager for waste matters at Damien Mulleys event. It was unusual, to see a website such as this represented at what was essentially a ‘how to use a weblog best‘ seminar - mainly as I thought I would be the only one [ie with a 'non techie' blog].

What You Will Need:
The run I made is from an old dog kennell; some chicken wire [burried about 3" below ground] & [...]

Well some-body is trying to do somehing to change that for the better and dublin City Council deserve applause for it! Not just because [...]

I was away recently in cork and it seems i lost my phone charger. I’ve only got one. Not anymore. [Think quickly peter people want to talk to you!]. So, I thought of this [picture left].

Fancy a limited edition Peter Donegan Landscaping Ltd Tshirt. Free. On the front it says ‘I bhfad cunn cinn’ as gaeilge/ irish for head and shoulders above & on the back [see the picture left] its simply the web address. I used this to launch our website when it went fully accessible and bi-lingual last [...]
Posted in every post to date, the pink boat - bloom 2008 on Jun 3rd, 2008
that is the simple question… I have two options.
One it goes to a good home for restoration or for a garden OR it gets put into a large skip.
It must be out of the park by this weekend and the boat movers must be booked pretty much as soon as possible.
Any suggestions, sooner rather than [...]

Some time ago i wrote about call out & consultation charges. [There is a difference.] A consultation is by definition ‘2 a meeting or discussion for seeking advice’. It requires professional advice based on education and experience. A call out, to differ, generally requires pricing for specific tasks as decided already by the client. [In this day [...]
