Landscape and Garden Design
Drake|Hourigan are an award winning landscape and garden design practice. Public projects include the Silver Medal winning ‘Limerick Culture Garden’, Bloom 2014, which was subsequently relocated to City Hall in Limerick, Seniors and Children’s Gardens for Our Lady of Lourdes Community Centre, Limerick and ‘The Wild Wild Way’ at Airfield House and Gardens, Dundrum, Dublin. Our work also includes large and small private gardens. We offer full design services for larger projects.
With a passion for historic landscapes, Ailish Drake also works as a garden historian. Planting is hugely important to the success of landscaping and garden design and Ailish's expertise in horticulture gives her full design control over both the hard and soft landscape elements of our projects.
For private home owners Drake|Hourigan offer a sketch design consultation which is a cost effective way of getting a garden design, which clients can follow as they develop their garden themselves, for more details see 'Shaping the Garden' Garden Design Consultation.
