Blessington is where Kearney Landscapes is based, and where Séan grew up working the land. From the town itself out to Burgage, Kilbride, Lacken, and Valleymount, we know the ground intimately: the acidic, often boggy soil, the rainfall coming off the mountains, and where the good granite comes from.
That local knowledge shows in the work. We design gardens that suit the Wicklow landscape rather than fight it, drain the wet spots properly, and build stone walls from granite quarried just up the road. Being on the doorstep also means we are quick to a site visit and quick back if anything ever needs a look.

- Working across Burgage, Kilbride, Lacken, and Valleymount
- Granite and stone sourced from local Wicklow quarries
TL;DR
Blessington is our home. We design and build gardens right across the town and the lakes, from full redesigns to granite stone walls, with a drawn plan first and a 3-year plant guarantee. Local knowledge of the boggy, acidic Wicklow soil is exactly why our Blessington gardens last.
Local knowledge
Why local knowledge matters in Blessington
Blessington sits on the edge of the Wicklow Mountains, where acidic, boggy soil and serious rainfall defeat gardens that were not planned for them. It is also granite country, which is why so much of our stonework uses material quarried within a few miles. Knowing the local ground is the difference between planting that thrives and planting that rots, and it is why Blessington gardens are where we do some of our best work.
“Séan understands the Wicklow ground. He drained the lawn, built a granite wall that looks like it has always been there, and the planting has taken beautifully.”

Landscaper in Blessington: your questions answered
Are you based in Blessington?
Yes. Blessington is our home base and depot, so Blessington jobs get a fast site visit and the shortest possible lead time. Séan lives and works locally, which is why we know the soil, the stone, and the ground conditions across the town and lakes so well.
How much does a landscaper in Blessington cost?
It depends on the work, but to give a sense: garden design from €400, patios from €120/m², new lawns from €18/m², and native hedging from €8 per metre. Every project is quoted as a fixed price after a site visit, so you know the cost before anything starts.
Can you work with Blessington's boggy soil?
That is our home ground. Much of the Blessington area has acidic, wet soil that needs the right drainage and the right planting. We design around it, install French drains or soakaways where needed, and choose native species that thrive in those conditions rather than struggle.
Do you build Wicklow granite stone walls?
We do, and Blessington is the heart of granite country. We build and repair traditional dry stone walls by hand using granite sourced from local quarries, which keeps the cost down and means the wall belongs in the landscape.
How quickly can you start a job in Blessington?
Quote lead times run around one to two weeks in winter and three to six weeks in the peak season from March to October. Being based in Blessington, local jobs are the easiest for us to slot in, and we will always give you a realistic start date up front.
