The Project
The Brief
The front bed had gone from tidy to overgrown, weeds had taken over what used to be a clean planting border, and the whole front garden was letting down an otherwise well-kept house. The brief was a low-maintenance border that would actually stay looking good.
The Approach
We cleared the bed back to soil, improved it before replanting, and put in a buxus hedge border with mixed planting behind it, chosen for structure that holds its shape without constant trimming. Buxus gives a clean, defined edge to a front bed year round, which is exactly what was missing before.
The Result
A front garden that now reads as deliberate, not neglected, with a hedge border that holds its shape and planting that doesn’t need constant intervention to look presentable.
Terenure’s older, tree-lined streets mean a lot of front gardens compete with established street trees for light and moisture, and it’s common for a front bed to have been let go for a season or two while the rest of the house gets attention. A structured hedge border is a practical fix here, it holds its shape and doesn’t need the constant care an open flower bed does.
