Clearance & tidy
Overgrown beds cleared, weeds out, dead branches removed, rubbish bagged and taken away. The bit that takes a Saturday off your life if you do it yourself.
Bring a tired garden
back to life.
Most Dublin gardens we visit aren't broken — they've just been let go for a season too many. Garden revival is the proper one-off reset: clear it out, fix what's worn, restore the lawn, freshen the planting, and hand it back ready to be looked after again.
What "Revival" Means
You don't need to redesign a garden to make it nice again. Most of the time the bones are fine — the lawn just needs work, the beds need a clear-out, the hedge has gotten away from the owner, and one of the fence panels is on its way out.
Garden Revival is the proper one-off catch-up for that situation. We come in, get it back to a state you're happy with, and either hand it over for you to maintain or carry on with regular visits. No design fees, no rebuild — just the work that actually needs doing.
If the layout itself isn't working anymore — the lawn is in the wrong spot, the patio is too small, you've outgrown what's there — then Garden Design is the right service instead.
Typical Revival Job
Lawn restoration
Scarifying, aerating, top-dressing and over-seeding for a tired lawn — or full strip-and-relay with new turf if it's past saving. We'll tell you which honestly.
Hedges & tree work
Hedge cut back to size, overgrown trees pruned, anything dangerous taken down properly. See Tree Services for bigger jobs.
Fence & repair work
Replacing a broken panel, refixing posts, sorting the gate that's been dragging for two years. The little jobs that everyone puts off.
Fresh planting
New plants in the tired beds — hardy stuff that suits Dublin conditions and won't need babysitting. Bark or gravel mulch on top so it stays looking sharp.
Final tidy & handover
Everything washed down, edges cut clean, paths brushed. We walk you through what we did and how to keep it looking like this.

Common Questions
What's actually involved in a garden revival?
Whatever the garden actually needs. Most jobs are some mix of: full clearance and waste removal, lawn restoration (scarifying, aerating, seeding or new turf), fresh planting in tired beds, hedge cut-back, tree work, fence repair or replacement, and a proper deep tidy. We don't sell you a fixed package — we walk the garden with you and quote for what you actually want sorted.
How is this different from regular garden maintenance?
Maintenance is keeping a garden you're already happy with looking sharp — a regular cut, hedge tidy, weed pull. Revival is the bigger one-off: when the garden has gone too far for a regular cut to fix and needs a proper reset before maintenance can take over.
How much does a garden revival cost in Dublin?
Depends entirely on the size and how far gone it is. A small back garden that just needs a clear-out, lawn re-seed and refreshed beds typically lands around €1,500–€3,500. Larger jobs with hedge work, tree removal and fence repair can run €4,000–€8,000. We'll quote per the actual job, not a fixed package.
How long does it take?
Most revival jobs are two to five working days. The clearance and hard work happens fast; the planting and lawn work is the bit that needs a season or two to settle in and look its best.
Can you keep it tidy after the revival?
Yes — most clients pop us on a maintenance schedule once the revival is done. Monthly or six-weekly visits keep the garden in the state we just got it to, rather than letting it slide back.
