Planting and tree shaping.
The finish around the build.
Short answer
We plant, prune and shape trees across Dublin, often to finish the garden around a new deck or patio. That includes training pines into cloud forms (niwaki) on bamboo frames, gravel and planting beds, and seasonal care that keeps a garden looking controlled.

FAQGardening & tree shaping
Questions people ask.
Plain answers.
What is niwaki?
A Japanese way of shaping garden trees, often pines, into layered “cloud” forms by pruning and training branches over several years.
Do you do gardening without a deck or patio job?
Yes, though our main work is decks, patios and covers. Planting and tree shaping are often booked on their own.
When is the best time to plant in Dublin?
Autumn and spring, when the soil is moist and not frozen.
