Landscaping for Ballymascanlan Conditions
Ballymascanlan is a scenic area nestled at the foot of the Cooley Mountains, and gardens here sit on sloping ground near the Cooley foothills. We take local conditions into account on every project:
Hillside considerations: The sloped terrain around Ballymascanlan means drainage, soil stability and access all need careful planning. We build solid retaining walls, create level terraces for seating and planting, and ensure proper drainage to prevent waterlogging on heavy clay.
