Garden Design & Landscaping Cost in Belfast

08 Aug 2026

  • Basic tidy-up: £1,000-£3,100
  • Mid-range redesign: £3,600-£8,800
  • Full landscaping: £8,800-£17,500 upwards

Garden size varies across Belfast - the narrow plots behind Holyland and Sandy Row terraces are a different design brief from the larger gardens more common around Malone and Stranmillis.

What drives the price

Access without a side gate adds real labour time on terraced streets. Mature trees, more common in the leafier southern suburbs, are sometimes protected - worth checking with Belfast City Council before any design involving removal.

Combine with an extension where relevant

Where a kitchen extension is also planned, designing the garden alongside it avoids redoing groundwork twice.
