City Garden Redesign

From €2,400

Full replanning for Cork city plots up to 120 sqm


Gardens that work in Irish rain

Narrow city plots in Cork often suffer from poor drainage, shaded walls, and planting that looked fine in summer but drowned by February. Our city garden redesign addresses levels first—then beds, paths, and planting suited to Atlantic weather.

We reorganise the entire plot: raised planting beds for heavy clay, permeable gravel paths that shed water, seating positioned in the sunniest pocket, and a planting palette chosen for wet winters and mild coastal summers.

What's included

  • Scaled layout plan (PDF)

Typical elements

Raised planting beds

Elevated beds improve drainage on Cork's heavy clay and create clear structure in narrow plots.

Permeable paths

Gravel and stepping-stone routes that channel runoff away from seating and house foundations.

Shade-tolerant planting

Ferns, hellebores, Japanese anemones, and structural evergreens for north-facing walls.
