Initially you must help the plants, trees and lawn establish well by providing adequate water, this promotes healthy & resilient root systems. As the garden matures it will require weeding, pruning, mulching & possibly some extra nutrients. The care of the Hardscapes is as important as the plant care to ensure the space as a whole keeps a quality impression. This includes care of artificial lawns & paving in a way that keeps them looking looking at their best. - [Garden Lighting](https://landart.ie/garden-lighting/): Lighting is the key element to bring an extra dimension of quality & beauty to your garden. It is what completes any outdoor space. - [Garden Design Trends 2023](https://landart.ie/garden-design-trends-2023/): Garden Design Trends are continuing to evolve and refine. We know so much from our collective time restricted to the home how essential our outdoor spaces are to us, so it is no surprise that Wellbeing and Sanctuary are big trends for the coming year. - [Planting for Tomorrow’s World](https://landart.ie/planting-for-tomorrows-world/): This year we have taken part in the NIHGT’s 2022 Annual Conference ‘Planting for Tomorrow’s World - A Global Perspective’ at the National Botanic Gardens. - [Screening & Privacy Solutions](https://landart.ie/screening-privacy/): We use privacy screening to strategically break a view or block out views entirely. By working with planting, rather than built wall or tall fences, you are bringing foliage and life to the space. Introducing an intention Architectural look to the garden rather than bare walls. This approach gives definition and structure to a space in a very distinctive way. LandArt are experts in sourcing and planting screening trees, such as pleached trees, espalier trees and large evergreen trees. - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/LandArtLandscaping%20%20) - [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/landartdublin/#new_tab) - [Beautiful Bulbs](https://landart.ie/beautiful-bulbs/): Beautiful Bulbs are an interesting gardening topic as they are equally adored by garden experts as by small children, they are accessible to and appreciated by almost everyone. They are affordable, low maintenance and require minimal effort, & yet they can be an art in themselves. Imagination is the only limit on what can be achieved with bulbs. They are the perfect introduction to planting for budding gardeners and yet have a back catalogue of the most rare and unusual cultivars that you can spend a lifetime enthralled.   ## Pages - [Hard Landscaping vs Soft Landscaping: What’s the Difference?](https://landart.ie/hard-vs-soft-landscaping/): By Dean Lacey, MGLDA - Garden Designer, LandArt - [What Does a Garden Landscaping Project Involve?](https://landart.ie/garden-landscaping-guide/): A garden landscaping project involves three stages: design (planning the layout and planting), build (hard landscaping groundworks, paving, walls and structures) and plant (soft landscaping - planting, lawns and trees). The best results come from one team handling all three, so the garden is designed, built and planted as a single coherent project rather than a series of disconnected steps. - [How Much Does Landscaping Cost in Ireland?](https://landart.ie/landscaping-cost-ireland/): Landscaping costs in Ireland are hard to pin down online: figures are scattered, often outdated, or based on a single competitor's table. This guide gives you clear, current 2026 Irish euro costs, the hourly rate for a landscaper, per-square-metre prices for common work, and flat bands for full projects. It's written by LandArt, a Dublin <design-build landscaping practice that prices and delivers projects of every size across the city. - [Garden Landscaping Dublin](https://landart.ie/garden-landscaping-dublin/): Garden landscaping is more than laying a patio: it's shaping outdoor space into something beautiful, functional and lasting. LandArt has become one of Dublin's most trusted garden landscaping practices by doing the whole job properly, designing the garden, building it to a high standard, and planting it to thrive in the Irish climate. - [Small Garden Design Ideas for Irish Homes](https://landart.ie/small-garden-design-ideas-ireland/): The best small garden design ideas for Irish homes combine a clear zoned layout, large-format paving and vertical planting to maximise a compact space, with planting chosen specifically for Ireland's mild, wet and often shaded conditions. The biggest mistakes are cramming in too much, ignoring vertical space, and following UK plant lists that don't suit the Irish climate. - [Low-Maintenance Small Garden Ideas](https://landart.ie/low-maintenance-small-garden-ideas/): Yes - because the low-maintenance result depends almost entirely on getting the design and planting right, which is exactly where professional expertise pays off. A designer chooses materials that don't need constant upkeep, selects planting that thrives in your specific Irish conditions with minimal intervention, and lays out the garden to remove the awkward, high-maintenance elements before they're ever built. The result is a beautiful small garden that genuinely looks after itself. See our small garden design service to make yours low-maintenance from the ground up. - [How to Design a Small Garden: Layout & Tips](https://landart.ie/how-to-design-a-small-garden/): To design a small garden: start with a clear layout based on how you'll use it, define zones for seating and planting, use large-format paving and diagonal lines to make the space feel bigger, plant vertically and in layers to add greenery without losing floor space, choose one focal point, and pick low-maintenance plants suited to the Irish climate. - [Small Garden Design](https://landart.ie/garden-services/small-garden-design/): LandArt has designed and built compact gardens across Dublin, and this page shows what's possible, the ideas that work, and how our small garden design service brings them to life. - [Garden Renovation Before & After](https://landart.ie/garden-renovation-before-after/): There is no better way to understand what a garden renovation can do than to see it.
