    Hi my parents are in the process of building a house on a 1 acre site, they want some nice landscaping to be done.

    There not looking for something over the top, really what they want is something that looks well and has low maintenance as both my parents are retired and all of us siblings no longer live at home.

    SO does anyone know of a good landscape architect willing to work in the county of carlow.

    The way I was approaching this was to get an architect to design then get a landscaper to carry out the work, is that how it should work???

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Regards,

    Getting an Architect involved is merely giving him (and the contractor) a licence to spend your parent's money, which may not be very generous in the first place. A more practical solution is to get a landscape gardener (one who specialies in new gardens, but not the local 'handyman'). You can ask for references from previous clients and see the contractor's work.

    You should check the local Golden Pages. Ask for an option for a year's maintainence to be included (including replacement of dead plants).

    If your parents are getting on in their years, I would really question the wisdom of them buying a garden of that size.

    We had to buy a site that size for planning regulations.

    But we plan on having a very large lawn as we have a tractor lawnmower with twin mulching blades.

    Thanks for the info.
