Garden - Russell Landscaping

Russell Landscaping offers practical and unique landscape architectural and garden design solutions, allowing customers to make their ideas a reality through practical working designs to help you get the most out of your outdoor space. Sean Russell of Russell Landscaping won the national 'Special Award for Landscape Design & Build' at the prestigious ALCI Awards, as well as winning the best private garden in the €50-100k category.

Sean's passion for design and attention to detail are obvious in his work, and he offers a bespoke service that combines his architectural knowledge with extensive plant knowledge, having studied landscape horticulture. He regularly sources mature plants for clients, which really gives the 'wow' factor on a finished project. Russell Landscaping is a design and build business, meaning they'll design from their initial on-site consultation and then complete the construction on site.

Where should people start when it comes to choosing a landscaper?

"You need to determine if the landscaper is reputable and are true to the image they are selling the client. It is very important to speak with someone who has first-hand experience in working with a particular landscaper. It is also important to view a project that the landscape contractors have previously carried out in order to ensure the highest workmanship."

Kitchen and Interiors - Cullen View Interiors

Just under four years after its establishment as a kitchen company offering bespoke kitchens and fitted furniture for the home, Cullen View Interiors is expanding quickly. With an emphasis on quality and customer service, word of mouth has been instrumental in their success.

They pride themselves on their attention to detail, and their ability to utilise a client's available space as effectively as possible - so no kitchen is too small! "We place a huge emphasis on what the client wants. We take great pride in the quality of our work at CullenView Interiors. Peter and I have a great team working with us. We all work extremely well together and the end-product shows it. We all take immense pride in what we do," says co-founder Danny O'Donoghue.

With emphasis on the client's needs, Cullen View Interiors have begun offering evening consultations to facilitate clients with busy work schedules. "“We will spend several hours discussing potential designs, materials, styles and colours, after which we will provide a 3-D design which the client may then tweak as required. We design and fit bespoke kitchens as well as built-in furniture of all kinds," he says.

Where should people start when it comes to choosing kitchens?

"Your first step when choosing a kitchen is to prepare a wish list of what you require, including appliances, worktop type and kitchen style. You can then speak with a kitchen designer who will advise you on the best layout."

A specialist in domestic windows and doors, Wojciech Lange started Perfect Home Windows in Ireland in 2009 after working for several years in Germany. He's worked over the last decade to bring in the best tradesmen available to have only experts at hand to work on both new windows and doors for homes, as well as window and door repairs.

They can repair and replace uPVC, aluminium and wooden windows as well as all types of doors. Their services include installing new doors and windows as well as fixing hinges, handles, glass, seals and vents of windows, skylights and doors.
