Have the garden of your dreams

My passion is to create a beautiful, functional space that will enhance the lives of those who experience it.

My name is Dominic Cullinane - Garden Designs I have been a garden designer and landscaper in Cork for over 30 years. I started out by sowing seeds in my parent's walled garden at about the age of 14. I loved it and have continued to have a passion for horticulture and design ever since.

I take great enjoyment and pride in what I do designing dream gardens for clients. I also love welcoming people to our nursery Curraghbeg Nursery. You can also enjoy some of the baked goods in our Tea Rooms

I have a strong work ethic. Customer care and satisfaction is always on the top of my list.
The Mallow Garden Festival was my baby for many years, I enjoyed the creativity and the friendships made. I have now passed  the baton on, time sadly does not allow me to do it all. Have a look through the video & photo gallery to gather some ideas which may inspire you for your own garden design.

What my clients say

Our average visitor rating is 4.8 / 5

"Dominick Cullinane is the sort of man that we would like to have as a family friend. He is decent, generous, honorable, good humored and competent.

He has done a wonderful job, transforming an eye sore to the front of our home into a dramatic patio and barbeque area. His price was competitive and he included a lot of thoughtful extras, which we very much appreciated.

Dominick's team of young men were a delight to have around the place, they worked hard in unbelievable and persistently awful weather.

Our thanks to Fionn, Tom, Ben and Valentin, a special thanks to Noel and Brian, the workers in wood, who saved our ceiling from collapsing after an unexpected and totally unrelated leak.

We can wholeheartedly recommend Dominick and his team to future clients.

Ashling and Padraig O' Brien, Monkstown, Co. Cork.

"On two different occasions over the past decade, I've had the pleasure of entrusting my garden to Dominic's team to work their magic and breathe new life into my outdoor spaces.
 
The team’s attention to detail is evident in every aspect through design, groundworks,  landscaping, and planting - with special mention going out to the stone masonry.
 
I’m happy to recommend Dominic Cullinane Gardening for anyone seeking exceptional landscaping services, and am looking forward to having them back to tackle a few more projects."
