Find a verified Landscaper in Ireland
Patios, decking, lawns, fencing, planting, and full garden makeovers by experienced Irish landscapers.
What does a landscaper do?
Landscapers design and build outdoor spaces — patios, paths, lawns, planting, fencing, decking, garden walls, drainage, and lighting. The trade ranges from one-day jobs (laying a small patio, installing a fence run) to full garden makeovers spanning weeks. A typical Irish landscape project includes a design phase, hard landscaping (paving, walls, decks, drainage), soft landscaping (lawn, planting, mulch), and the finishing details (lighting, irrigation, bin stores).
Most Irish landscapers fall into two camps. Garden makers focus on design-led front and back garden transformations with a mix of hard and soft landscaping. Practical landscapers focus on functional jobs — fencing, paving, decking — with less design overhead and more straightforward day rates. Choose based on whether you want a designed scheme or specific items installed. Either way, ask for photos of recent work and ideally talk to a previous customer.

How much does a landscaper cost in Ireland?
Indicative pricing — your actual quote will vary
Landscaping pricing depends on materials, area, and access. The figures below are indicative Irish ranges.
A standard porcelain or sandstone patio runs €120–€220 per square metre fully laid (slabs, base, jointing). Concrete pavers are €80–€140 per m². New lawn turfing on prepared soil is €25–€45 per m². Fencing is €60–€120 per linear metre fitted (post-and-rail, closeboard, or panel). Decking is €120–€220 per m² fitted including substructure. A full small back garden makeover (50m² with patio, lawn, planting, lighting) typically runs €8,000–€20,000 depending on materials chosen.
These are indicative ranges based on typical Irish jobs. Final pricing depends on scope, materials, urgency, and the trader you choose. On Jobiit you'll receive itemised quotes (labour, materials, VAT) so there are no surprises.

Landscaper FAQs
When's the best time of year for landscaping?
Hard landscaping (patios, paths, decking, walls) can be done year-round in Ireland if the ground isn't waterlogged or frozen. Spring and autumn are ideal. Summer is fine but hotter for the team. Soft landscaping is more seasonal: turf laying is best March–October, planting is best September–April when plants are dormant. Booking for spring works typically opens in January with most reliable landscapers fully booked by March.
How long does a patio take to install?
A standard 30m² porcelain or sandstone patio takes a 2-person team 4–7 days from start to finish. That covers excavation, hardcore base, MOT compaction, mortar bed, slab laying, jointing, and clean-up. Larger or sloped sites take longer. Smaller jobs (a small terrace under 12m²) can be done in 2–3 days. Weather delays add a day or two — slabs can't be jointed in heavy rain.
Do I need planning permission for a fence or wall?
Generally no for fences under 2m at the rear or 1.2m at the front. Walls follow the same rule. Hedges have no height limit unless they obstruct sightlines or block neighbours' light meaningfully. Listed buildings and properties in Architectural Conservation Areas have stricter rules — check with your local council before starting. Boundary walls shared with neighbours legally need their consent if any work affects the existing structure.
Should I get a garden design before building?
For full makeovers worth €10,000+, yes. A garden designer charges €500–€2,000 for a full design package and saves money on the build by avoiding mistakes (wrong plant for the location, paving that doesn't drain, badly placed trees). For functional installs (a patio extension, a fence replacement), no — the landscaper designs as they go. Most established landscapers can sketch a small scheme themselves; reserve the dedicated designer for ambitious projects.
How long do fences and decking last?
Pressure-treated softwood fencing: 12–18 years before significant deterioration, 20+ with regular care (oil every 2–3 years). Hardwood (Iroko) lasts 25+ years untreated. Decking softwood: 10–15 years; hardwood 20+; composite decking 25+ with low maintenance. The wood is rarely the failure point — posts rotting at ground level cause most fence and deck failures. Concrete spurs or ground anchors extend life by a decade or more.
