About Us
Fabworx Ltd: Makers of Bespoke Metalwork for Landscape and Garden Design At Fabworx Ltd, we specialise in crafting bespoke metalwork that complements and enhances landscape and garden design. Based in Ballymahon, Co. Longford, our workshop is a hub of precision engineering and creative craftsmanship—providing custom-designed pieces that are functional, durable, and visually striking. Our products are designed with the needs of garden designers, landscape architects, construction professionals and, of course, the end user in mind. We collaborate closely with landscape and garden designers to ensure each product not only fits the brief but also elevates the design intent of the outdoor space. From concept to installation, we are a reliable, creative partner, focused on detail, quality, and finish. Our Product Range 1. Planters & Retaining Systems 2. Edging & Border Solutions 3. Garden Structures 4. Outdoor Furniture & Features Why Designers Choose Fabworx For landscape and garden designers seeking reliable, well-made metalwork solutions tailored to their project needs, Fabworx offers a practical and professional partnership.
Our custom steel planters are among our most popular offerings. Made from Corten, powder-coated aluminium, or galvanised steel, they bring clean lines and modern form to planting schemes. Whether integrated into terraces, courtyards, or large public realm projects, our planters are fully customisable in size, shape, finish, and detailing—ensuring they fit seamlessly into the design.
We also manufacture retaining systems and raised beds, suitable for sloped gardens or multi-level planting. These can be modular or custom-built and are engineered to withstand soil pressure and drainage requirements.
Our metal garden edging offers a clean and durable solution to define lawns, paths, and planting areas. Available in various gauges and finishes, including powder-coated aluminium or Corten steel options, our edging products help maintain clean lines in both contemporary and traditional gardens. Easy to install and long-lasting, they are a favourite among professional landscapers.
We create bespoke structures that provide both architectural interest and practical function. Whether it’s a minimalist pergola to define a dining area or decorative laser-cut privacy screens, we can fabricate and finish to your design specifications.
Our use of precision CNC laser cutting allows for intricate detailing and custom patterns, making each structure unique. Designers can submit their own designs or work with us to develop ideas that reflect the project’s overall aesthetic.
We offer a growing range of custom benches, fire pits, water features, and sculptural pieces, designed to add functionality and focal points to outdoor spaces. These items are fabricated to withstand Irish weather conditions and to age gracefully, especially when using materials like Corten steel or galvanised finishes.
We are increasingly working with artists, designers and architects on interactive or artistic elements, such as sculpture, signage, engraved panels, and bespoke garden art.
Fabworx stands out for our flexibility, quality craftsmanship, and collaborative approach. All fabrication is done in-house at our Longford facility, allowing us to maintain strict quality control and quick turnaround times. We are happy to work from technical drawings or early-stage design ideas, and we offer advice on materials, finishes, and installation best practices.
We are a proud local employer, supporting skilled trades and investing in apprenticeships and training. Sustainability is at the core of our ethos—we prioritise long-life materials and fabrication methods that reduce waste and environmental impact.

Awards & Achievements
Projects
Bespoke Planters, Edging and Benches for Irish Life Centre Dublin
Our most prestigious project to date features over 900 meters of powder-coated aluminium planter edging in straight, curved, and corner sections. It also includes ten bespoke modular planters, four linear benches that seamlessly extend from the planters, and a striking curved triangular seating arrangement spanning 10m x 9m, encircling the roof light well. Working from the Landscape Architect’s drawings, Fabworx collaborated closely with both the Landscape and Construction teams to finalise engineering solutions, finishes, and installation requirements. Once our shop drawings were approved, we commenced fabrication in phased stages to align with the on-site construction schedule. All products were finished to QUALICOAT standards, and the benches were assembled using individually crafted FSC-certified Iroko hardwood prior to delivery and installation. The project in due for completion end of 2025.

Fabworx, led by Director Liam Kavanagh, recently carried out architectural landscape metalwork on a high-end residential development — Beach Road, Shore Club. Liam and his team proved to be very capable throughout the project, demonstrating excellent attention to detail and a proactive, “can-do” attitude. They were extremely easy to deal with, cooperative, and responsive in coordinating with our team and other trades. Fabworx provided a full supply-and-fit service, which set them apart from competitors and added significant value to the delivery of the works. The finished product was of a very high standard and complemented the overall design and quality of the development. I would have no hesitation in recommending Fabworx for future works to clients and other contractors.

Liam and his team have a keen eye for detail, problem-solving, and design development, which gives us, the designers, full confidence in how the end product will look and feel. The quality of metal and timber fabrication is similarly excellent and has helped to ensure that our landscape designs are realised to their fullest potential.
