Projects

The Hunt Lodge, Coolattin, Co Wicklow

My client is a regular visitor to the nearby Altamont Gardens and her brief was to recreate a similar atmosphere to this beautiful historic garden. The first phase of the garden was to screen adjacent agricultural buildings, to soften the stone outbuildings with planting and to maintain the beautiful views towards the valley below. The second phase was the creation of a sheltered walled garden with reflection pond and mixed herbaceous borders. Third phase was the creation of a gravel topiary garden and the final phase was to plant the front garden with screening plants and focal point tree specimens.

Communal Garden Renovation, Capel Court Apartments

Capel Court is a small, residential, multi-unit development in Dublin city centre. For many years the courtyard had been just a walk-through area linking two blocks of apartments.

The design response was to introduce metal screens and arches to improve the general sense of enclosure and privacy. Separate zones were created by the introduction of large raised beds planted with a mixture of herbs, flowering bulbs and herbaceous perennials. Existing trees were retained and overgrown shrubs replaced with a mixture of ornamental grasses, evergreen shrubs and herbaceous perennials.

Residents have been harvesting the culinary herbs and have taken ownership of their green oasis in the centre of the city.

Belgrave Road

The brief for this family garden was for a contemporary design with a state of art outdoor kitchen, fixed seating area, seasonal planting and screening for privacy. Compliance with conditions of planning relating to this protected structure and coordination with a full design team was also required. Given the full glass wall to the rear of the house, the back garden is in full view year round and needed to be installed with precision and also provide year round interest.

Testimonials

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! Ingrid designed the new garden for our apartment complex in Dublin city centre. She succesfully managed suppliers and project execution. Our beautiful new garden exceeds our original expectations and all our residents are absolutely thrilled with it. Ingrid was extremely helpful and accommodating during project execution in the middle of the pandemic and she successfully resolved all issues we encountered. I highly recommend Ingrid Smyth Garden Design to anybody looking for high quality professional services with a personal touch.

We would highly recommend Ingrid’s design abilities, her practical on site knowledge, her ability to coordinate well with contractors and her choices relating to the planting scheme.
