Garden Landscaping Dublin
At LandArt we create gardens that are designed around the house, the space and how our clients want to use them.
Our garden landscaping service in Dublin covers everything from complete garden transformations to planting led renovations.
For a full project, we bring together garden design, hard landscaping and soft landscaping, taking the garden from the initial consultation through to the finished space.
Our Garden Landscaping Services
There are two main ways we work with clients, depending on what the garden needs.
Complete Design, Build & Planting
Where a garden needs to be completely redesigned, our Design, Build & Planting service takes care of the entire project.
This can include:
- Garden design
- Groundworks and drainage
- Patios and paving
- Paths and steps
- Changes in levels
- Garden lighting
- Irrigation
- Lawns
- Trees and hedging
- Complete planting schemes
We look at the hard landscaping and planting together from the beginning so that the finished garden feels like one complete space.
Our hard landscaping work forms part of these complete garden projects rather than being offered as a standalone patio or paving service.
Planting & Garden Renovations
Not every garden needs to be completely rebuilt.
Often the patio and general layout are already working well, but the rest of the garden feels bare, unfinished or lacking privacy.
This is particularly common with new build homes, where the patio outside the house may already be installed but the lawn is poor, the soil needs improvement and very little has been done with the rest of the garden.
The basic structure is there, but the garden still needs to be brought to life.
Our planting team can completely change how the garden looks and feels without replacing good hard landscaping.
A planting renovation can include:
- Mature trees
- Privacy screening
- Hedging
- New planting beds
- Reworking existing flower beds
- Soil preparation and improvement
- New lawns
- Complete planting schemes
What Does Garden Landscaping Include?
A complete garden landscaping project generally combines garden design, hard landscaping and soft landscaping.
- 01
Garden Design
For our full Design & Build projects, we develop the garden in both 2D and 3D designs before construction begins.
The design brings together the layout, materials, planting and how the garden will be used so that every part of the space works together.
Our garden design service forms part of projects that we subsequently build and plant.
- 02
Hard Landscaping
Hard landscaping creates the structure of the garden and can include patios, paving, paths, steps, drainage, groundworks and changes in level.
Rather than considering these elements separately, we design them as part of the overall garden.
- 03
Soft Landscaping
Soft landscaping includes trees, hedging, shrubs, perennial planting, ornamental grasses and lawns.
The planting softens the hard landscaping, creates privacy and gives the garden depth, movement and seasonal interest.
We like gardens to feel green and established, with planting playing a strong part in the overall design rather than simply being added once the construction is finished.
Why Design, Build and Plant Together?
One of the biggest advantages of using one team for garden design and landscaping is that everything can be considered together from the beginning.
The position of a patio affects the size and shape of the lawn and planting beds. Trees can be used to create privacy and frame views. Levels influence paths and steps, while lighting needs to work with both the hard landscaping and the planting.
By designing, building and planting the garden as one project, the different elements work together rather than feeling as though they have been added at different times.

How Much Does Garden Landscaping Cost in Dublin?
The cost of garden landscaping in Dublin depends on the amount of work involved and what is already in place.
A complete garden transformation involving new hard landscaping, groundworks, lawn and planting will naturally involve a very different budget to a garden where the patio can remain and the main work is planting, screening and lawn.
We have a separate Garden Renovation Cost Guide Ireland & Dublin which explains this in more detail and gives guidance on setting a realistic budget for your garden.
Garden Landscaping Across Dublin
We carry out garden landscaping projects across Dublin from planting projects to complete Design, Build & Planting projects.
Recent projects have included gardens in Rathgar, Terenure, Ranelagh, Ballsbridge, Mount Merrion, Foxrock, Blackrock, Stillorgan, Dún Laoghaire, Dalkey, Malahide and Castleknock.
We also work across Kildare, Wicklow and Meath, depending on the type and scale of the project.
If you're unsure whether we cover your area, get in touch and we can let you know.
Gardens That Get Better With Time
For us, a successful garden isn't just about how it looks when the project is finished.
As trees establish, hedges fill out and planting matures, the garden should become softer, greener and more established.
Some of our favourite gardens are ones we completed years ago and have had the opportunity to revisit. The structure of the original design remains, but the maturity of the planting gives the garden a completely different depth and character.
That is what we aim for when we landscape a garden, a space that works when it is completed but becomes even better with time.
