Landscapers in
Antrim

Soil here is mostly heavy with a high silt content — productive when drained, problematic when not. Many gardens close to the lough have a high water table all year and need proper drainage as a non-negotiable first step before any other work goes in. We always check this on the first site visit.

Rainfall is higher in Antrim than in central Belfast and weather rolls in fast off the lough. That changes which materials work — porous resin and self-binding gravel handle the rain well, smooth porcelain can be slippery in winter unless you spec a textured finish, and wooden decking needs proper sub-frame ventilation or it won't last. We design accordingly.

The historic gardens around Antrim Castle Gardens and the Six Mile Water set a high bar for what a Northern Irish garden can be, and a lot of homeowners in the area want to bring some of that formality into their own plot. We can do clipped box, parterres, traditional yew hedging and stone-edged beds — properly, with materials and proportions that stand up over time.
