Homes in South Dublin City and what that means for landscaping
Some of Dublin's densest period housing: Victorian and Edwardian red-brick in Ranelagh, Rathgar, Harold's Cross, Sandymount and Donnybrook, larger period homes in Ballsbridge, and 1930s–1960s suburbs in Churchtown and Dundrum. Many streets are conservation areas and some homes are protected structures.
Period homes usually have narrow rear gardens with limited access, so materials may need to come through the house, which affects cost and planning. 1930s–1960s houses often have generous gardens with mature trees and older paths and walls that may need rebuilding.
What to check before you hire a landscaper
- Ask what depth and type of sub-base will be used for paving or driveways
- Confirm how surface water will drain away
- Ask for photos and addresses of recent similar work
- Get a written quote that includes waste removal and skip hire
- For front gardens, check whether planning permission is needed

Do I need planning permission for a driveway?
Widening or creating a vehicle entrance usually needs planning permission. Check with your council before work starts.
