    As per the title I'm looking for recommendations for a garden landscaper in Dublin.
    Obviously googled but there are so many options it would be nice to narrow it down with personal experience.
    Looking to get a patio and some artificial grass put in.
    Not a big space. 10m x 10m

    I have spent the last 4 weeks looking at this with respect to 31 sq m of a patio and 51 sq m of artificial grass.
    First off the difference in the quality of artificial grass is big where some are soft and some are very spikey. Some are imported from China and some come from Holland.
    Price per sq m can range from €22 up to €38 per sq m.

    I have also looked at the different ways in which some do the job. Dig down 100mm, weed barrier, hardcore 804 and quarry dust compacted.
    I have been reliably informed also, that if you have cats and dogs who urinate on the artificial grass after 2 weeks of it the place will stink so bear that in mind.

    The cost difference for me is in the region of 5K.
    Also, I looked into whether drainage is required for the garden area and it's not necessary as the rain water will dissipate okay. The only area where I am putting in drain channel is where the patio meets the garden.
    I haven't started the project yet but I have singled out a landscaper who is well experienced and capable. He has taken jobs from the big players and I am well impressed with his work. He does cover the Dublin area.

    If you want any more advice let me know...
