Gardens That Feel Softer, Greener & More Private

Planting is what turns a garden from something you look at into somewhere you actually want to spend time. It softens hard edges, adds depth and movement and creates that feeling of privacy and calm that makes a space truly enjoyable both outside and from inside your home.

Not every garden requires a full redesign or major construction work. Often thoughtful planting is what transforms a space, adding softness around architecture, creating privacy from neighbouring properties and bringing life into new build gardens.

Our planting team works on projects ranging from front/back garden planting and mature screening trees to complete planting schemes homes throughout Dublin and surrounding counties.

At LandArt planting is never an afterthought. We combine strong garden design principles with expert horticultural knowledge to create gardens that feel balanced, established and completely suited to their surroundings.

Screening Trees & Privacy Planting

Privacy is one of the biggest challenges in modern gardens, particularly in Dublin’s new build developments and overlooked spaces. The right trees don’t just block a view, they completely change how a garden feels.

Well placed screening trees create instant privacy, soften boundaries and introduce height and structure without the harshness of walls or heavy fencing.

The difference is immediate and it transforms how you use the space.

Hedging: Structure & Privacy

Hedging does more than define a boundary, it shapes how a garden feels.

It introduces structure, softens views and creates a natural sense of enclosure that hard materials simply can’t achieve.

From inside your home, hedging becomes part of your everyday outlook, adding greenery and a sense of quality to the space.

If privacy is a key concern for your garden, you can read more about our approach on our **Screening Trees and Hedging page**, where we explain the different options available.

Our front garden planting projects are popular throughout areas including Foxrock, Rathfarnham, Ballsbridge, Dalkey, Malahide, Mount Merrion and South Dublin.

The result is a garden that feels established, softer and more usable far sooner.

Low Maintenance Planting

Many clients want a garden that feels green, soft and established but still practical to care for throughout the year.

At LandArt, we carefully design planting schemes that provide structure, privacy and seasonal interest without feeling overly high maintenance. Through the use of evergreen planting, ornamental trees, grasses and carefully selected shrubs, we create gardens that remain attractive and manageable as they mature.

Our low maintenance planting schemes often include:
• Evergreen structure planting
• Pleached and screening trees
• Ornamental grasses
• Hydrangeas and hardy shrubs
• Layered perennial planting
• Gravel gardens and mulch borders
• Planting designed for year-round interest
