Step 1.

General Information

Firstly, we need to know the size, accessibility and configuration of your garden.

How big is your garden?

Does your garden have access; eg. a side-passage?

Do you estimate your project budget to be

5k - 10k

10K - 15k

>15K

How big (if any) is the lawn area of your garden?

Does your garden require clearance?

How long (if any) is the fence of your garden?

Upload a maximun of 4 photos of your garden

Garden Size

Please measure the length of the garden and the width of the garden. Length (M) X Width(M) = m2.
If your garden is very large we can estimate from google earth. If you don’t have a measuring tape to hand, please use one long stride as 1m.

Garden Passage

Please measure the width of side passage for machine access. Having no side-passage access increases the complexity of a project.

Garden Clearance

Many gardens require old decking to be removed, trees to be removed that block light or have died, shrubs that have become overgrown.

Lawn Area Size

Please measure the length of the lawn and the width of the lawn.
If it is an unusual shape you can measure a triangle, multiply the base by the height and then divide by 2.

Project Budget

Please specify the approximate spend you envisage.

Fence Length

Please specify the approximate length of your fence.

How to take photos

Please take photos from the front and back of the garden and from opposing angles.

Some Examples:

Step 2.

Patio

Do you need a patio?

What type of stone do you like? Click on the icon for a larger image and more information about each type of stone.

Click on one image to select one type of stone that you would like for your patio.

Granite

Silver Granite

Granite is a hard wearing and prestigious paving type. Its machine cut edges and even surface lends it to a more contemporary style. It is available in two different colours and many different sizes. It is very suitable to the Irish climate. It can be used with sawn edged granite of different textures or a combination of different edging stone depending on the style required. We would normally recommend that the paving be edged if the exterior walls and house are uneven.

Oatmeal Granite

Limestone

Egyptian Limestone

Egyptian Limestone is a durable limestone with a distinctive surface finish that has pelt like texture. Subtle colour tones of this beautiful limestone will complement any modern garden design, giving a contemporary feel to the living space.

Black Limestone

Limestone is a hard wearing and extremely durable paving type. It is available in many different colours and quite often has different patterns/colours through out. We generally like to lay it in a opus format. It is available in tumbled finish which adds slightly to the cost but gives a more aged look to the stone.

Kota Yellow

kota Brown

Sandstone

Grey Sandstone

Sandstone are a slightly softer stone and is available in a wide range of colours. It is slightly cheaper to buy. Its unique quality is the range of patterns and colours which are available. We would only recommend sandstone on a south facing or westerly aspect as it does tend to become quite dirty and algae/moss can build up quickly in the Irish climate..

Camel Sandstone

Mint Sandstone

Travertine

Travertine boasts its own unmistakable character. It is a high quality natural stone, honed and tumbled to produce the attractive smooth surface and varied texture of fissures so typical of this type of stone.

Granite

Limestone

Sandstone

Travertine

Travertine has been traditionally used in the Mediterranean countries. It has a distinct character and is generally laid slightly thicker. It is relatively hard wearing and traditionally has a pitted surface that is generally filled when pointing it in. It does give a contemporary feel to a garden

Step 3.

Lawn area

Do you need lawn area?

Do you need a low maintenance subsitute?

Bark Mulch

Bark mulch can be used to keep down the weeds. It can be used with or without a mypex weed barrier and is sometimes used in planted areas to keep the weeds out and the moisture in.

Gravel

There are many types of gravel available and a large price range. This can also be used on driveways and planted areas.

What type of grass do you need?

Artificial Grass

Artificial grass has many advantages. It is low maintenance but does require some work to keep it in prime condition. It is a perfect fit for a small garden that gets a lot of traffic from football and kids. Also for the couple who are time sensitive, or have a north facing garden. In the Irish climate lawns can be quickly invaded by moss and other undesirable weeds and it is sometimes better to re turf or seed or alternatively invest in an artificial lawn.

Rolled Turf

If you have a tired lawn that needs to be renovated there is no better way than to strip the existing turf, aerate, top dress and re-turf the lawn. This allows you to level the lawn and get a professional finish instantly. We recommend keeping off the grass for at least 2 weeks once installed.

Seeding

If you have a large area of grass to turn to lawn you may want to consider seeding. The correct blend of seed can be chosen for your requirements and soil type. We use various different machines to carry out the most professional job.

Turf installation can vary in price depending if you want rolled out turf, artificial turf or seeding. As all techniques require a different installation method it is important to make this decision prior to building the garden. Depending on the aspect of the property it can be quite difficult to establish a good quality lawn but special seed blends are available to specially cater for this.

Step 4.

Fence

Do you need a fence?

What type of fence do you like?

Cedar Cladding

This type of fencing can be installed with the same technique as for treated pin for a different look. The material cost of the timber is more expensive and needs to be pre-ordered.

Concrete posts and timber insert

Concrete posts, base plate and timber insert

This type of fencing is very robust and will stand the test of time. If the panels become tired they can be easily change to a newer version.

Micro Shades Cladding

This type of wood is installed the same way as the treated pin or cedar fencing and has a rounded edge and nice grain texture. It is Scandinavian timber and is kiln dried.

Metal railings

In some cases, you need to install railings to divide neighbours or protect an area that could be a potential hazard. This does not need to be a full fence but a robust metal railing. There are many shapes and forms of railing. Some are available in stainless steel and glass also.

Treated Pin Fencing

In a lot of gardens, we come across the old walls that are uneven and in a bad state of repair. It is sometimes very difficult to renovate and re render these walls and in some cases, it is better to either knock the walls down and rebuild them or to clad them with fencing. We sometimes place batons on the old walls and fix cladding boards to the new batons. We generally do this with stainless steel screws and fitting to prevent rust coming through at a later stage.

You will need to broadly measure your garden first (use a long stride if you can´t find your measuring tape!) and you can send us photos too.

Please use the icons for help & more information about materials at every step. Images with €€€ symbols are more expensive.
