About Hillview

    Cork-based, hands-on,
    since 2008.

    A family-run garden design and landscaping team based in Old Mayfield, Cork. Over 500 gardens delivered across the city and county since we started in 2008.

    The Hillview Landscapes team at work in a Cork garden
    Our story

    Founded in 2008 by Gordon, Hillview Landscapes started small — out of a yard in Old Mayfield with a single van, a wheelbarrow, and a list of patio jobs handed down from people who knew his work. The first year was small jobs around the northside, the kind of work that gets done well or it doesn't get done again.

    Word travelled. Patios led to lawns, lawns led to fencing, and within a few years we were getting calls for full garden transformations rather than single-day fixes. We brought on a second pair of hands, then a third, and grew the team slowly — only ever taking on people who could be trusted to do the work the way Gordon would do it himself.

    Today we're a Cork-based crew handling everything from compact urban courtyards to country estate work, with bespoke garden design carried through to in-house build. The mix has changed; the standard hasn't. The same person who walks your garden at the consultation is the person planning the build, on site for the foundations, and back for the handover walk-through.

    We don't subcontract. We don't take deposits before quoting. We don't quote what we can't deliver. That's the whole pitch — and after fifteen years it's still the reason most of our work comes by referral.

    How we work

    Three things we don't
    compromise on.

    Our own team

    Every job is delivered by people on our payroll. No subcontracted day labour, no surprise faces showing up to your garden. The team you meet at consultation is the team building your garden.

    Materials chosen for Ireland

    We use materials proven to hold up in the Irish climate — pressure-treated timber, frost-resistant stone, planting suited to mild wet winters. We don't import what looks good in a Mediterranean photo and pretend it'll last.

    Honest pricing

    Every quote is detailed in writing within 48 hours of the on-site visit. No deposit required to confirm. No mid-project surprises. If we hit something unexpected, we tell you before we charge for it.

    Where we work

    We work across Cork city and county — Douglas, Blackrock and Mayfield on the southside and north of the city, Ballincollig out west, Glanmire on the northside fringe, and Carrigaline, Cobh and Midleton out east. We also cover Bishopstown, Wilton, Togher, Rochestown, Carrigtwohill, Crosshaven, Blarney, Watergrasshill, and surrounding areas — and we travel further across the county for larger projects in places like Fermoy, Mallow, Kinsale, and Bandon.
