Garden landscaping is designing and building an outdoor space as a whole, combining hard landscaping such as patios, paths, walls and steps with soft landscaping such as lawns, planting and beds, plus drainage and lighting, so the garden works for how you live.
For a homeowner in Dungannon, planning garden landscaping tends to begin with two questions: what will it cost, and how disruptive will it be? Our guide range is £5,200–£13,000 including VAT, and a typical job runs to 1–4 weeks on site, depending on scope. Both numbers firm up once we have seen the property, measured up and agreed exactly what is included.

What are homes like around Dungannon?
Tyrone is largely rural, with detached houses and bungalows on individual plots across the countryside, many finished in render or roughcast. Omagh, Dungannon, Cookstown and Strabane have Victorian terraced streets, post-war estates and newer developments, and stone farmhouses survive in older rural areas.
Rural detached homes commonly take extensions, loft rooms, porches and driveways, and older houses may need re-roofing and re-rendering. Town terraces suit rear extensions and window replacement.
Building traditions across County Tyrone also raise conservation and planning questions, so we check those for garden landscaping in Dungannon at the survey stage.
Do you need permission in Dungannon?
Because Dungannon falls under Northern Ireland's rules, the guidance below is the version relevant to you. Before sending a price, we check your property's position with the council.
Most garden landscaping in Northern Ireland needs no planning permission; protected trees and conservation areas need the council’s consent.
Building control approval is rarely needed for landscaping.
Rules change and every property is different, so we check the planning history and constraints for your address before we quote.

Garden landscaping in Dungannon: questions
Can I stay at home during the work?
In most cases, yes. Most people can live at home throughout, and we plan the work to keep disruption down by protecting floors, agreeing working hours and keeping access routes clear. Bigger jobs affecting kitchens, bathrooms or heating may mean a short spell with reduced facilities, and we talk this through with you at the survey.
How much will garden landscaping cost in Dungannon?
As a guide, expect to pay £5,200–£13,000 including VAT for garden landscaping in Dungannon. That range is adjusted for Northern Ireland, which runs about 14% below the national guide. Where your project lands depends on size, materials, access and the condition of what is already there. We confirm a fixed price in writing after a free survey of your home.
How long does a garden makeover take?
A typical garden makeover takes around one to four weeks on site, depending on size and scope. Clearance and groundworks come first, then drainage, patios, paths and walls, followed by turf and planting. Larger or sloping gardens with retaining walls take longer. Weather can affect timings, especially for groundworks and laying turf. We give you a programme with your quote.
What can be done about a waterlogged garden?
A waterlogged garden is usually caused by heavy clay soil, compacted ground or water running off from hard surfaces. Solutions include French drains, soakaways, improving soil with organic matter, and making new paving permeable or directing its run-off to drains. Raised beds help plants in wet areas. We look at the cause during the survey and include drainage in the design.

Landscaping a typical 50–60m² rear garden with a patio, lawn, borders and planting costs £5,200–£13,000. As a guide, allow roughly £90–£220 per square metre of garden plus fixed costs for clearance and set-up, with gardens that are mostly lawn and planting at the lower end and those with large patios, walls and lighting at the top.
