Private Garden, Seapoint, Co. Dublin

This garden is located in Seapoint in Dublin. Green Wizard was subcontracted to do the construction, the design was pre-made and followed the owner’s request to make a traditional Dublin garden. The work started incredibly hard as the house renovation workers left only a thin layer of topsoil to cover the compacted and cemented hard soil. The main area even needed a deep rotovation. The patio area took a full day just to break up the soil. Green Wizard laid all the gravel and turf grass and covered the beds (except the vegetable garden) with bark mulch. All needed to be manually moved because of the narrow passage into the garden. All vegetable beds were made with railway sleepers and the lower garden area beds were bordered with nice rocks. Three large pots (200kg each) moved to the end of the garden where small plants were planted.
- The garden was built for five days. The first two was for breaking up the soil and preparing for planting and laying the grass. Third was for laying turf grass, fourth was for planting and building beds with sleepers. Last day for finish up the garden
- The gravel was simple beach pebble with an underlay of Ballylusk dust
- Small beds built with slabs needed to be broken again as they were hard and dry too.
- Turf grass was needed to be watered constantly as the weather was dry and the turf grass needed water to settle.
- Design made by Howbert and Mays Gardens
