Drag

Nestled in the prestigious suburb of Foxrock, Dublin, SAS Landscapes Ltd. transformed this private residence into a harmonious blend of functionality and aesthetic brilliance. From the striking front driveway to the tranquil back garden, this project demonstrates our expertise in creating timeless outdoor spaces that complement modern living.


The Front Driveway: A Sophisticated Welcome

The entrance to this Foxrock home is a showcase of elegant simplicity. The driveway features a meticulous arrangement of brown granite cobbles, interwoven with black granite cobbles for a sharp contrast that exudes class. This durable and visually stunning design ensures a grand welcome for residents and guests alike.

Flanking the driveway, we installed mature Genolia hedging from Garden World, which not only adds privacy but also enhances the soft landscaping aspect of the project. This hardy, upright evergreen hedge provides year-round greenery and frames the driveway perfectly, balancing the hardscape elements with a touch of nature.


The Back Garden: A Tranquil Oasis

Moving to the rear of the property, the back garden is a sanctuary designed for relaxation and leisure. The space is defined by the use of 600 x 900 brown granite paving, providing a contemporary and warm foundation for the garden. This high-quality natural stone ensures durability while seamlessly blending into the natural surroundings.

At the heart of this garden is a stunning glass-framed pergola/garden room, positioned on a raised area that elevates the structure both literally and visually. This architectural centerpiece creates a perfect all-weather outdoor living area, allowing the homeowners to enjoy the garden’s beauty in comfort.

Bordering the raised pergola are black granite cobbles, adding texture and depth to the design. This subtle detail ties the back garden’s elements together with the same level of sophistication found at the front of the property.

Finally, the lush roll-out turf lawn completes the back garden. This vibrant green carpet creates an inviting softness underfoot and provides a versatile space for leisure activities, framed by mature planting that complements the overall design.


A Testament to Craftsmanship

This Foxrock project demonstrates SAS Landscapes Ltd.’s ability to combine premium materials and innovative design to enhance everyday living. From the precise stonework on the driveway to the thoughtfully curated back garden, every detail reflects our commitment to creating functional, beautiful outdoor spaces.
