Hiring for landscaping in Cork: a quick guide
Hard and soft landscaping
Hard landscaping is the built structure of a garden: patios, paving, walls, steps, fencing and decking. Soft landscaping is the living part: lawns, planting, hedging and trees. Many Cork landscapers do both.
Drainage matters in Cork
Heavy rainfall and clay soils in parts of Cork make drainage a big factor in any landscaping job. Ask how a patio or lawn will be drained, and what base and falls the landscaper plans to use. A patio should slope gently away from the house.
Planning permission basics
Most garden landscaping is exempted development. Boundary walls and fences are generally exempt up to 2 metres high, or 1.2 metres in front of the house. Raised decks, works affecting a road entrance, and anything at a protected structure may need permission. Check with Cork City or Cork County Council if in doubt.
Comparing quotes
Get at least two or three itemised quotes. Check the materials specified, the depth of the sub-base, who disposes of excavated soil, and the expected timeline. Ask to see recent projects similar to yours.

Frequently asked questions
- How much does a patio cost in Cork?
- Supplied and fitted, typical Irish prices are €60–€130 per m² for concrete slabs, €100–€150 for Indian sandstone and €130–€200 for porcelain. A 25 m² patio costs roughly €1,800–€7,000 depending on materials.
- How much does fencing cost per metre?
- Standard 1.8 m timber panel fencing is typically €50–€80 per metre, rising to €80–€120 for premium panels. A 30 m back garden fence is around €1,500–€3,600.
- Do I need planning permission for a fence or wall?
- Generally not, if it is no higher than 2 metres, or 1.2 metres in front of the house. Other conditions apply, so check with your council for anything unusual.
- Do I need planning permission for decking?
- Low-level decking is usually fine. Raised decks may need permission, especially if they overlook neighbours. Ask your council if unsure.
- When is the best time to book a landscaper?
- Book in winter for spring projects. Landscapers in Cork often have waiting lists from March to June.
- Turf or seed for a new lawn?
- Turf gives an instant lawn and costs about €12–€20 per m² installed. Seed costs about half that but takes a season to establish. Autumn and spring are the best times for both.
