What to check when hiring landscapers in Ireland
MyTrustedTraders ranks on independent public evidence. No ads, no paid placement. Use these checks alongside the evidence on each profile before you decide who to contact.
- Get an itemised quote that separates plants and materials, any machinery or skip hire, and labour. A vague 'garden makeover' lump sum hides where the money goes and makes extra charges easy to add later.
- Be wary of paying a large sum up front 'for materials'. Agree staged payments against work you can see completed, especially for hard landscaping like patios, decking, paving or driveways.
- Tree work and anything near a boundary can be regulated. Protected trees and conservation areas often need permission, and removing a protected tree can be an offence. Confirm what is allowed, and that they carry public-liability insurance, before work starts.
- In Ireland, gas work must by law be done by a Registered Gas Installer (RGI) and electrical work by a contractor registered with Safe Electric. Verify the registration on the public register before any gas or electrical job, as using an unregistered installer is illegal and dangerous.
- Agree an itemised written quote with staged payments tied to completed work rather than a large cash deposit up front, and confirm the tradesperson's public-liability insurance before they start.
How to judge a landscaper
Independent, no-ads guidance. The trade-specific checks that matter most, the warning signs, and what to ask before you hire. Use it alongside each tradesperson’s public evidence above.
Verify before you hire
- Landscaping isn't a licensed trade in Ireland, so check the business is registered on the CRO or a registered sole trader, holds tax clearance and carries public liability insurance.
- Any electrical (garden lighting, pumps) must be done by a Safe Electric-registered electrician, and structural work (high retaining walls, boundary changes) may need planning permission: confirm the contractor checks this.
- Get a written quote with scope, materials, drainage and a timeline, and ask to see comparable completed gardens.
- Agree staged payments tied to milestones rather than a large amount up front.
Warning signs of a cowboy
- Offers to do mains wiring themselves rather than using a registered electrician.
- Builds a tall retaining wall or boundary structure without checking planning rules.
- No public liability insurance, or a large cash deposit up front.
- A vague quote with no detail on drainage, base prep or materials.
Questions to ask before you hire
- Are you registered, and do you carry public liability insurance?
- Who does any electrical work: a Safe Electric-registered electrician?
- Does any structure here need planning permission, and will you confirm it?
- Can I see comparable completed jobs, and what's the guarantee?
Frequently asked questions
- How do I choose a trustworthy landscaper?
- Compare the public evidence on each profile: how many independent reviews they have and across how many named sources, the rating and how recent it is, any credential evidence, and the company status. A landscaper backed by several named sources is harder to fake than one found in only one place.
- Does MyTrustedTraders rank or recommend landscapers for payment?
- No. There are no ads and no paid placement. Landscapers are ranked only by the strength of independent public evidence. No one can pay to rank higher, add a badge, or change their reviews.
- Where do the reviews come from?
- They're imported from named public review sources and always shown with the source named. They aren't reviews written on MyTrustedTraders. We cross-check the same business across sources rather than creating new reviews.
- What should I check before hiring a landscaper?
- Confirm credentials and insurance directly with the landscaper, get a written quote, and run the Cowboy Checker on the business first. MyTrustedTraders helps you shortlist on the evidence. It doesn't replace your own checks before you hire.
