Essential Gardens, Landscaper, Churchtown, Dublin 14

Essential Gardens (formerly Amazing Gardens) was founded and has been successfully run by Stafford Farrell for 15 years. Our lead garden designer is Brian O'Hara, full member of the GLDA and a silver medal winner at "Bloom In The Park 2007".

Brian O'Hara brings a unique perspective and experience to garden design and landscaping. He has a formal training in design with a fine art degree from Bonn and a later role as chief aesthetic coordinator for German retailer, Tegut.

Brian first brought his design skills to garden design and landscaping while working with New York garden designer John Blackmore.

In 2004 Brian returned to Ireland to specialise in unique urban gardens of all sizes.

Brian O'Hara designed and built his first show garden at "Bloom In The Park 2007" which won a silver medal and was named as the best minimalist garden in the show by the Sunday Business Post.

Brian believes that garden design is an art form, the beauty stemming from its functionality and not just from random decoration. Every area and piece of material should fit comfortably together like a jigsaw with attention to small detail being essential.

Essential Gardens has nine members on a full time basis. Our speciality is in fully designed gardens however we also do partial makeovers. Because we are a smaller sized company, best practice and quality control are strengths we can guarantee and are proud of.

We also believe in completing our projects as promptly as possible with continuous work on site and constant contact with the client.

Our philosophy is to create timeless uncomplicated gardens to suit our clients lifestyles in a manner which is functional, aesthetic and cost effective for the client.
