Homes in South West Dublin and what that means for landscaping
1930s–1950s semi-detached homes in Terenure, Kimmage, Walkinstown and parts of Rathfarnham, big 1970s–1980s estates in Tallaght, Firhouse and Knocklyon, and newer apartments around Citywest.
1930s–1960s houses often have generous gardens with mature trees and older paths and walls that may need rebuilding. 1970s–1990s estate gardens are typically rectangular and ideal for patio, lawn and decking layouts, but often sit on heavy clay. Newer homes can have small gardens with poor, compacted builder's fill, so drainage and soil improvement come first.
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
