A family business built on craftsmanship, trust, and a genuine love for the outdoors. Serving Dublin and Leinster since 1998.
Emerald Landscaping was founded by husband and wife team Séan and Áine Murphy with a single van, a passion for plants, and a commitment to doing things properly.
Séan trained as a horticulturist at Teagasc College of Horticulture in Kildalton, while Áine brings a background in landscape architecture from UCD. Together, they built a reputation for quality that speaks for itself through referrals and repeat customers.
Today, Emerald employs 18 skilled tradespeople — horticulturists, stonemasons, arborists, and irrigation engineers — serving residential and commercial clients across the greater Dublin region.
These principles guide every project we take on, from a small back garden in Rathmines to a large commercial estate in Sandyford.
We champion native planting, rainwater harvesting, and minimal chemical use. A healthy garden works with nature, not against it.
No hidden costs, no vague quotes. Every proposal is itemised so you know exactly what you're paying for and why.
We take pride in the detail — the tight joints in a stone wall, the perfect lawn edge, the carefully selected specimen plant.
We show up when we say we will. Simple as that. Our clients trust us because we've earned it over 26 years of keeping our word.
Every project gets the same careful eye regardless of scale. We don't cut corners, and we're not happy until you are.
We keep you informed at every stage — from initial design through to final handover and aftercare guidance.
