Landscaping for Carlingford Conditions
Carlingford is a picturesque medieval village on the shores of Carlingford Lough, and gardens here sit on steep, rocky terrain with mountain views. We take local conditions into account on every project:
Coastal considerations: Gardens near the coast face salt spray, strong winds and sandy soil. We select wind-tolerant plants, use sturdy materials that resist salt corrosion, and design sheltered seating areas where you can enjoy the outdoors even on breezy days.

How much does garden landscaping cost in Carlingford?
Every garden is different. A small patio project might start from €2,000, while a full garden redesign typically ranges from €5,000 to €15,000+. We provide detailed written quotes so you know exactly what you’re paying for before any work begins.

Do I need planning permission for landscaping in Carlingford?
Most residential landscaping work is exempt from planning permission. However, significant changes to levels, perimeter walls over 2 metres, or structures may require planning. We’ll advise you on this during the consultation.

We landscape year-round, though spring and autumn are ideal for planting. Hard landscaping (patios, walls, paths) can be done any time the weather allows. The earlier you book, the sooner we can schedule your project.
