Kevin Dennis Designs / Cityscape Gardener

Kevin Dennis of Cityscape Gardener is an excellent award winning professional landscape architect and garden designer. He recently designed, project managed, and implemented the construction of our renovated back garden in Leixlip, Co Kildare. We couldn’t be happier with the result. We discovered Kevin on Houzz and loved his unique and contemporary projects. From our first consultation, Kevin fully understood our aesthetic style, gardening capabilities, budget and functional needs for a comfortable, relaxing and accessible family garden. His artistic yet practical design exceeded all our expectations. He greatly enhanced our garden structure, layout, purpose and use by integrating tasteful and workable landscaping and planting. This includes use of ambient and functional lighting, water feature, red brick wall, feature pillars, walkways, and beautiful seasonal planting schemes. His team carried out the work over the 4 weeks and were all extremely hardworking, diligent and respectful. The precision and standard of their work is outstanding, and all the materials and plants used are very high quality. Kevin was available throughout to oversee the project and answer any queries we had. His architectural and horticultural knowledge are exceptional. Kevin showed us great kindness, care and patience throughout the entire process. He is an extremely talented and passionate garden designer. It is no surprise that he deservingly won his 4th gold medal at Bloom this year. You can rely on Kevin and his team to deliver a professional, trustworthy, top quality, and reliable complete service at a very competitive price. We highly recommend Kevin Dennis/Cityscape Gardner for anyone considering investing in a unique and beautiful garden design and landscape to be proud of.

Redevelopment of Terraced House Rear Garden - Ballsbridge, Dublin 4 I engaged with Kevin to redevelop the back garden of my home after I had viewed some of his other projects and especially his award-winning garden at Bloom Festival in Dublin. Alongside conceptual and design skills, Kevin has a good knowledge of planting and technical skills involved to successfully complete large-scale projects. Kevin took a keen interest in my requirements and how aesthetically pleasing the end project would look while also maintaining the functionality that I required from the garden space. Kevin has a structured, proactive and sensitive approach to design and project development and was a great go-between for the builders/landscapers and myself. I commented to Kevin that this was the first time that I experienced an end project that looked exactly like the 3D Image of the project he provided at the beginning – end result was fantastic and I couldn’t recommend him enough.

I contacted Kevin as I am based in Dublin City Centre and I liked the design of the other city gardens he had completed, pictures of which were on his website. i was a bit nervous about having someone in to design my garden, it felt like such an extravegence, but having failed many times designing it myself, and having made some many costly mistakes, I really felt I needed help. Kevin was lovely to work with. He listened to my wish list and the designs he created really reflected my wants for the garden. Kevin came up with 2 initial concept designs and i liked both designs. We then worked through what would work best and Kevin continued to tweet the design until we were 100%. My garden looks incredible. The design costs very reasonable. I wish I had contacted Kevin sooner, I would have saved so much money and time.

Kevin helped us design and build a phenomenal garden that we have had tremendous enjoyment from. He always listened to our requirements and reflected them in his work. Kevin was always very helpful, accommodation and professional in our interactions and we thoroughly enjoyed working with him and would recommend him for future projects.

Kevin Dennis of Cityscape has just completed our fabulous garden. Kevin was a professional to deal with from start to finish. He listened to our requirements and worked through multiple designs until we found the perfect one for us. His team was excellent and within a short period of time transformed our garden to a relaxing, city garden which has totally enhanced our home and lives. I can highly recommend Kevin.

Fabulous award winning designer who pays attention to detail, budget and lifestyle. This is my second time using Kevin, which speaks for itself. He offers good value for money, using top quality materials and respectful teams. His design is creative yet practical. We live beside the sea in Malahide, Co.Dublin and we wanted that landscape reflected in our garden with easy- no maintenance to suit our lifestyles and he delivered.

I recently had my back garden transformed by Kevin Dennis and his team into a beautiful and functional space that the whole family will enjoy for years to come. I contacted Kevin earlier this year after reading reviews on this website, and shared my wish list for my small garden. We wanted a nice outdoor area to relax and entertain family and friends during the summer. And landscaping that looked beautiful but didn't require a massive amount of maintenance by us as we don't have the greenest of fingers. Kevin and his team delivered on this and more! From our first design consultation, right through to the completion of the project, Kevin listened to what we wanted and guided us seamlessly through the process. Even though we have a small garden, he was able to incorporate two distinct areas to entertain, with decking right off the garden room, and a porcelain tiled patio area beyond. The 'pièce de résistance' was the fabulous planting he incorporated throughout, accentuated by beautiful lighting that transforms the space again in the evening time. We are delighted with the quality of the work and the end result; he really did exceed our expectations!

Following a recommendation from a friend, we engaged Cityscape.ie to update our patio area. This was one of the best decisions we have made as Kevin Dennis with his team did a wonderful job in the design, layout and finalisation of our new patio and flower beds. Throughout the period of their involvement they were hard working, open and all queries were dealt with promptly. We were able to get some changes incorporated and Kevin and team were highly responsive at all times. We believe the overall cost was very competitive. We are delighted with the end result and have no hesitation in highly recommending Kevin of Cityscape. Mike and Therese Dublin 18

Very highly recommended. Working with Kevin on transforming our garden was an absolute pleasure: he reads a script better than I could ever have imagined and perfection is his signature. We could not recommend Kevin more highly as he listens to what you have in mind and then takes you on a journey through his experience and design expertise that results in an amazing outdoor space to enjoy. His has exacting standards of his team and requires a best in class finish. I am delighted to provide a 5 star review, without hesitation. Foxrock, Dublin 18.

Kevin and his team did a fantastic job on our project. From design stage right through to final snags we were very impressed. Kevin took our ideas and used his knowledge and experience to come up with a plan we were excited about. During the build stage the lads were here early every day and worked hard. They were very nice to deal with and kept things as clean as possible on site all the way through. We're delighted with our new garden and would have no hesitation recommending Kevin to others - in fact we already have!

Kevin designed a beautiful space for us last February. It went from being a blank rectangular of grass to being an oasis. He listened to everything we said. His team were fantastic. Great attention to detail and efficient. 1 year later it still looks fantastic.

Kevin and his team from Cityscape did a wonderful job landscaping our garden. The creativity of the design along with the attention to detail in its delivery were first class and we are delighted with the results.

We have a small 10x5meter garden to the rear of our house in Lucan, Co Dublin. It was just decked with bamboo plants around the perimeter, and always seemed dark and damp. We met with a few garden designers to help us make the garden seem more spacious and to function better for a family. After our first consultation with Cityscape Gardeners, we knew that they "got what we were looking for", by way of look and feel for the space. After a few further conversations, we finalised the plans and once we received the 3D version of the design, we knew they had come up with something special in a tricky, limited space. Once the team started on-site, we quickly realised that the quality of the workmanship was of the highest level, the materials used were also superior, and the ultimate finish was really excellent...even with the challenging Irish weather. This quality and eye for detail continued with the planting and lighting plans which really brought the garden to life, with clever, low maintenance planting, to keep interest in the garden all year round, both day and night. Kevin was always on hand, throughout the process to ensure the build went smoothly, and communications were superb. We would highly recommend Cityscape Gardener to anyone looking for a "wow garden" regardless of the space you have. Thanks guys!

Kevin designed and installed our lovely new city garden in Phibsboro Dublin. I felt the consulation process was a huge benefit and Kevin managed to incorporate most of our wishes whilst guiding us to a final design that we loved. The work was finished quickly and we are delighted with it. Now all we need is the sunshine!

Kevin was great. From the start he listened to my ideas and helped me out creating a dream garden. I wanted a pergola structure but still wanted to keep plants and some garden. We discussed plans, exchange ideas and looked at every detail. Kevin was patient and always came back with a plan B. I can’t thank him enough.

We hired cityscape to design and construct our garden. They did a really fantastic job, and we would highly recommend them! Kevin started by providing a garden concept, that really made the most of the space, and integrated our garden room into the garden design. He then developed 3D plans of the garden, that gave us real insight into what the garden would look like. At every stage, Kevin took our views into account and developed a garden plan that was exactly what we were looking for. The construction phase was very quick and efficient, and Kevin's team were fantastic. We thought their attention to detail and the quality of finish were really exceptional. We would highly recommend the cityscape team.

We had seen Kevin’s outstanding work at Bloom, and knew when we met him that he could create an outstanding small city garden from our crude dreams. His creation has brought the garden right into our living room with brilliant ideas and skilled craftsmanship. It is giving us endless pleasure which I believe will continue right through the seasons. This is a beautiful low maintenance garden with contrasting colours, levels and shapes which draw you into it each way you look.

I am totally delighted with the amazing garden that Cityscape Gardener created for me - it is a total sanctuary of peace and calm. My garden was an unusual shape, yet Kevin brought incredible imagination and foresight to the space and created such interesting features and a garden that shows different aspects in every light, different seasons and in different areas. I am still soaking up the variety of his vision from different angles in the rare Irish summer. From the initial stages, Kevin brought creativity and focus to the design stage. He took on board what I was looking for and I now have a garden full of flowers that attract pollinating bees and staying close to nature blending with modern design. Every aspect of the design stage was executed with such attention to detail and I was kept advised at all times. The construction work was completed well within the time expected with the same level of attention. Nothing was ever an issue and the workers were so considerate to me and worked around any changes without any hassle. Kevin was always on hand advising and the workmanship was so professional, courteous and tidy. I now have a garden full of artistic charm and creativity. As the garden has developed and matured, I have constant delights of seeing different planting that Kevin selected using his imagination and flair in the different areas of the garden. I just love it and I can highly recommend Cityscape Gardener for anyone who wants a special place - you will not be disappointed

We had an amazing experience with Kevin and his team. His ideas were fantastic and he worked with us the whole way with a great personal touch and was always available when we needed him. His team were very easy to work with and their workload was very impressive. We are absolutely delighted with the garden we now have.

We are delighted with our new garden that Kevin Dennis of Cityscape designed and executed for us. He is a true artist and the most talented inspirational designer we have every come across. Coupled with his attention to detail, sticking to budget and finishing on time made him a joy to work with. All his staff are exceptional and we would highly recommend Cityscape. We will be using him again on our next project.

Fantastic job! Completely transformed an oppressive space and changed our lives! I would highly recommend Kevin and his team. I love my new garden.

Kevin gave us a garden space in Clontarf that exceeded our expectations. He listened to our ideas of a simple garden with low maintenance plants - as we haven't got green fingers! His hard working team were reliable, professional and cleaned as they went. Through Kevin"s flair for design and great attention to detail, he totally transformed our back garden into a peaceful space that we now look forward to spending time relaxing in. I am delighted we chose him and his team. Thanks guys.

Kevin and his team were, by far, the best building and gardening professionals we have ever employed. Kevin listened to absolutely everything we said, asked about how we used the garden & our interests & design preferences & and respected our budget. We were astonished with the design and execution. Who knew our garden was so big & could be such a peaceful haven. His team members were hardworking, tidy, timely polite & pleasant. Since the garden was completed I have gotten more use out of it in a month than we have in the 10 previous years. Thank you Kevin and team. Highly recommend.

Kevin and his team transformed our jaded back garden into a fabulous living and breathing contemporary space that truly gives us the room outside by day and perhaps even more delightfully at night. Such an easy man to work with, great vision for the project, not to mention the teams meticulous workmanship - start to finish! Guess this is what happens when you pick a winner. We so look forward to enjoying the fruits of their labours for many years to come! Colm & Elaine - super happy customers in Swords.

Kevin was recommended to me by a friend who had worked with him previously. He is very professional, dedicated and easy to work with. During the design phase he quickly grasped what I wanted to achieve and his design needed very little adjustment. His team were very professional throughout and produced a very high standard of work. On completion the finished result exceeded my expectations. I would highly recommend Kevin and his team.

We had an idea of having Copacabana with palm trees, blue sea and sky in the horizon (yes!) in our backyard in Terenure. We shared this vision with 3-4 designers but they ran away. Kevin took the challenge, listened our wants, included in his good ideas and made the plan practical and built it. His team cut the granite and limestone for paving and made Copacabana curves very successfully. Garden is partly covered by transparent roof supported by timber posts. Rain does not hinder barbecue evenings. When it is chilly you can switch the heaters on. In the evening the lights spot garden’s palms, bamboos, Japanese maples, other evergreens and flowering perennials lined in. Even though our garden is not too big it has different type of areas. Kevin and his team did clock work: literally arrived when agreed, completed daily plans as agreed, no surprises in budget, cleaned the place every evening when they left. Great team & great work!

Kevin converted our garden into a tranquil haven. Together we teased out design ideas and then Kevin with his vey professional hard working team build for us a beautiful, bright, interesting and all performing space that has now become an extension of our kitchen. I could not recommend Kevin and his team highly enough.

Not being a "plant person" I had set ideas about what I didn't want but not so many about what I did in my suburban South County Dublin garden. A water feature and low maintenance planting with spaces to entertain and enjoy the garden were very important but I was clueless about the greenery and the overall cohesion of the design. Kevin was great in understanding the overall look I wanted and responsive when I wanted things adjusted as well as suggesting lots of improvements himself. By the end of the project I had complete confidence that I could leave him to choose colours and materials without my direct input and that they would be as I wanted and right for the garden overall. Workmen were fast (only 3 weeks to complete it!), efficient and very respectful with no mess in the house. I spent more than I intended (as many people do!) but am delighted with the final result and it was well worth the cost to get a high quality beautiful garden.

Kevin designed and built a new back garden at our home in Ballsbridge in Dublin in 2017. In spite of many tweaks to the design Kevin remained good humored and professional throughout. His team were superb and worked tirelessly to complete the project on time and with great attention to detail. Our neighbours commented on the efficient, clean and considerate management of the site which involved the removal of tons of debris from the garden during the preparation stage. We are delighted with the final appearance of the garden which has maximised our space, functionality and light. We would highly recommend Kevin and his team, and wouldn't hesitate to engage his expertise in the future.

Kevin was excellent to work with. He created a garden for us that exceeded our expectations. We now have a garden to be proud of and enjoy! Kevin demonstrated a deep knowledge of garden design and planting. His passion for his work was plain to see. Also, the team working with him was as committed to delivering the perfect garden as he was.

Its easy to see why Kevin has won awards at Bloom! Cityscape exceeded all our expectations. Initially we hadn't intended to spend as much as we did on our garden but in the end it was more than worth it! While renovating our Dublin House, we hired Cityscape to do our landscaping on our architects recommendation. We have a detached house on a fairly large site. The back "garden" had been covered in just hardcore rubble for years with unplastered concrete boundary walls (incomplete in places), some of which had been overgrown with ivy. The front garden and side passages needed a lot of work too - complete re-paving and planting and needed some large trees removed. So it was a fairly substantial project......but we got a very substantial result for our money!! Kevin and his highly professional crew completely transformed our site, actually extending our living space to the outside. Firstly, Kevin spent a lot of time with us planning and designing the project. He was extremely intuitive in understanding our specific needs and wants, and hugely knowledgeable on what would and wouldn't work in our particular site. He very patiently listened to our wishes and didn't at all try to impose his own preferences (unless we asked of course). When it came to choosing plants, Kevin couldn't have been more helpful, sending me lots of useful links to different plants that would suit the different areas of the garden. He drew up numerous designs for us in 3D before we finally decided on a final version that encompassed all our requirements and suited our budget. Once we had settled on a final design, Kevin had his crew on site the next morning and had the whole project completed in about 3 weeks (incl tree surgery, bringing in tons of hardcore and soil, extensive paving, laying lawns, building a pergola and a number of little stone walls, making good, plastering, painting and capping the existing boundary walls, extensive planting, lighting etc). His crew also are extremely talented, hard working, efficient and conscientious (they left the place spotless when they finished each job). Kevin is obviously a perfectionist - he pays as much attention to the detail as he does to the overall picture and he has even been back a few times since the project finished just to check on things and see how the plants are progressing. Although we ended up spending a bit more than we had originally planned - we certainly feel we got value for money and would have no hesitations in recommending Cityscape.

Kevin was initially hired to do a garden design for my project but in the end we got him to landscape and complete the whole thing as his quote was reasonable and we found him and the team very hard working, pleasant and their standard of work exceptional. I couldn't recommend him highly enough, we did a rather large project on the house and garden and he was one of our favourite people to deal with. There isn't a day goes by that we aren't delighted with our garden and the project.

Kevin and his team did a fantastic, high quality job transforming my garden into a beautiful space! They were extremely professional, reliable and friendly. Even though I only had a rough idea of what I was looking for, Kevin provided a design that suited all my needs. I would highly recommend City Scape Gardener!

I met Kevin and Cityscape Gardeners through Houzz last year. I have an awkward garden shape with a small back and I loved his work that involved working with the space available rather than trying to make the space fit into his ideas. The team worked extremely hard and i'm happy with the final look so far. Waiting now for the flower to arrive i'm confident it will be magnificent .Any advise I can offer others would be the more you work with kevin and he gets a better understanding of your style and tastes the more bespoke and beautiful the outcome.

We found Kevin great to work with, and would absolutely recommend him to anyone planning work on their garden. We knew we wanted to make changes to out garden, but didn't have a clear idea of what we wanted. Kevin had a knack for grasping our ideas, and came back with proposals better than we had been able to come up with ourselves. He paid great attention to detail, and if he noticed something amiss or not up to his standards he made sure it was fixed. He was very flexible, had no problem accommodating changes of mind we made during the project, and went above and beyond what we had hoped for. Kevin was very generous with his time, and always made sure we were happy with every stage of the plans. He and his team were incredibly professional throughout, produced a very high standard of work, and were exceptionally easy and pleasant to work with.

Kevin and his team did a fantastic job. He transformed the garden from an underused, overgrown space into a bright, inviting outdoor living space. He listened to what we wanted and came up with a design that more than fulfilled our expectations. His team were professional, efficient and showed great attention to detail. We are delighted with the garden. It's a pleasure to be in and to look out on. I would be more than happy to recommend him.

The front and back gardens of my semi-d had been neglected for years. I engaged Cityscape on a recommendation. The owner, Kevin, came around on a number of occasions to discuss various designs, costs and timeframe. The work was started and completed on time and within budget. I now have gardens that are well designed with brickwork, gravel, lawn and paving, and a mixture of plants, trees, shrubs and flowers to provide colour and interest in all seasons. (my two dogs especially like the trees!). The end product is that I have low-maintenance gardens which are simply beautiful to look at and a pleasure to relax in and enjoy.

Kevin did a great job on my garden, laying down a patio, building a bench, raised bedding and fencing. He had some great ideas to make the area look modern. The work was a very high quality and I would recommend Cityscape without hesitation.

From the first time that I met Kevin I knew that I had chosen the right person to design and plan our garden. It was a wilderness before but Kevin has turned it into a Mediterranean style garden that we all adore. He is passionate about his job and has terrific ideas and takes plenty of time to design and plan it through to ensure that you are completely happy before the work commences. From the paving, to the planting and the colours for paints used, it's a very relaxing garden to enjoy with family and friends and very easy to maintain. From start to finish it took 8 days. Kevin is a true professional and I would highly recommend him.

'I can't believe someone I know has a garden like this', 'like a cool Barcelona hotel'. Just some of the favourable comments we've received since we had a complete revamp of our garden by Kevin and his team. From initial design, to site clearance, hard landscaping and finally planting, Kevin was regularly in contact to discuss and agree fine details (e.g. Exact angles and measurements for seating area near house, and also came to meet neighbours to discuss construction of wall and fence) and indeed let us know weather conditions that might keep the team away ( not very often!). We had many discussions about a feature wall with multiple options provided before we finally agreed on the best solution for us. I wanted lighting and Kevin introduced us to an electrician who fitted cool LED lighting around the seating area and pathway in addition to spotlights around the garden. The result is a fantastically bright, colourful and relatively low maintenance garden that delights us every time we go outside but equally is wonderful to look at from indoors, even when it's raining.

We first contacted Kevin Dennis of Cityscape Gardeners when we wanted advise on redesigning our back garden and patio. We found that he listened carefully to our concerns and ideas and having considered the situation came up with a well thought design; within our budget. Kevin and his team carried our the work with care and precision with no disruption to our household. During the project, he regularly consulted with us and answered all our queries immediately. We were most impressed with the care taken to ensure that each element of the design was completed with absolute precision. The finished result has exceeded our expectations and we have had many favourable comments from friends and family. We would have no hesitation in recommending Cityscape gardener for any similar project

We had some very specific requirements for our plan to change our garden. We were thinking for nearly 2 years and had several designs but were not completely happy with all of them. We reached out to Kevin and he had a look and made several design options, one of these designs was spot on. The execution and result is also perfect. Good service and pleasant to work with.

We were recommended to Kevin and his company by a friend so we asked him to to visit us and come up with some ideas from start to finish for our rear garden. From the start Kevin was extremely enthusiastic, had excellent ideas and produced some lovely photos of various projects for guidelines. He was very professional and had attention to detail. Kevin drew up some plans and together with various ideas, we both came up with a final plan. Kevin and his team proceeded with the work and we found them to be very tidy, professional, punctual and caused little inconvenience. We are truly very happy with the final result and we feel that we have extended our home into our rear garden and vice versa. Very professional job indeed as pointed out by many friends and family. We highly recommend City Scape Gardener for garden ideas, designs and landscaping.

We were recommended Kevin by a friend. We met with Kevin , went thru what we wanted and discussed budget. He promptly came back to us with 3 designs and showed them to us on 3D on laptop. We decided on one and work commenced the following week. We are thrilled with the design , work and professionalism of Kevin & his team. We now have a beautiful tranquil area to have morning /evening coffee surrounded by gorgeous plants . A job well done , we would recommend CityScapes to anyone thinking of getting garden done .

Kevin and his team at Cityscape designed, created and built our garden a year ago. Kevin used some of our own ideas but combined them with his own creativity and experience and the result for us was a superb garden that blends easily with, and is like a continuation of its coastal surroundings. The garden suits the kids and the adults! His choice of plants and grasses came into its own over the summer months especially with splashes of colour that are still vivid in mid October. The choice of paving and stonework is both modern and classic but works well together and gains high praise from all who visit! Kevein and his team were easy to work with throughout the project. We would highly recommend the team!

i am absolutely delighted with the wonderful job Kevin Dennis has done,he has transformed our barren,yard like space into a lovely, tranquil attractive city garden.Kevin listened carefully to what i hoped for and them skilfully drew up plans that fulfilled my wishes and showed his expertise and good taste.I knew immediately i wanted to go with these plans!The job was carried out in a very professional manner .on schedule and strees free for me.It was a joy to see the transformation and i am thrilled with how it looks.I have no hesitation in recommending Kevin and his team.Ann Murray.

Kevin provided both design development and landscaping services to our garden in Dublin 6. The quality of the design and workmanship has far exceeded our (high) expectations. The garden is now an absolutely integral part of our home. The entire family get great use and enjoyment from this special space and it really delivers on every facet of our brief to Kevin and his team. It is simply the best investment we have made in our home to date!

Cityscape revived our back garden and gave us a unique outdoor living space that is functional and beautiful to look at . The style concepts given at tender stage were all acceptable and the presentation was first class making it easy for us to make a decision . Any problems during the construction were handled immediately and we were / are truly satisfied with the end product which subsequently won an award . All our friends and family go out of their way to complement our garden .

The whole experience with Cityscape Gardener was professional, timely and delivered a garden beyond our expectations. From the design stage to the building everything was delivered as promised, within the 2 weeks schedule. We asked for a low maintenance garden which we could use all year - and we got more than that. The quality of workmanship was second to none. This garden has completely enchanced our lives.
