The Patio Garden

Patio Rejuvination Project in Cork City

This project showcases a beautiful transformation of a suburban garden in Cork City, focusing on both the rear patio area and the front garden. The redesign of the rear patio was aimed at creating an inviting space for relaxation and entertainment, while incorporating modern aesthetics that harmonize with the natural surroundings.

Patio Transformation

The patio area presents an excellent opportunity to create a serene space for relaxation and social interaction. By incorporating features such as new raised beds, built-in seating, an arbour, and beautiful lighting, the atmosphere can be significantly enhanced

  • Raised Beds: Add greenery and flowers to bring life and vibrancy to your patio.
  • Built-in Seating: Create cozy spots for gatherings, encouraging conversations and togetherness.
  • Arbour: Provide shade and elegance, making your patio a retreat from the sun.
  • Lighting: Install stunning lighting to set the mood for evening relaxation and social events.

These elements not only beautify the area but also increase functionality, making it the perfect place for family and friends to enjoy cherished moments together.

Planting Refresh

In the front garden, new planting was introduced such as herbaceous perennials, ferns, and ornamental grasses. These plants play a crucial role in creating dynamic garden spaces by providing seasonal interest throughout the year. These plants contribute to the beauty and biodiversity of gardens, particularly during the summer peak when their vibrant colors and textures come to life.



Sublime Irish Limestone

Irish Limestone is renowned for its unique beauty and exceptional durability, making it a popular choice in various construction and design projects. This natural stone is quarried in Ireland and is characterized by its soft, muted colors, which can range from creamy whites to warm greys, it is also perfect for our wet climate and is exactly why it was an excellent choice for this project.

What my clients said…

“We engaged Carol at The Planting Consultancy to help revitalise our tired garden, and her strong eco-friendly, sustainable ethos immediately resonated with us. We wanted a low-maintenance space that could be enjoyed both day and night, and Carol delivered exactly that. She listened carefully, offered thoughtful guidance, and created a design that is both beautiful and practical. Our garden now has year-round colour, feels like a true sanctuary, and features a stunning lighting scheme that brings it to life after dark. Carol's attention to detail is evident in every corner, and her work is exceptional. We recommend her without hesitation.”
