About Us | Landscape Design & Garden Architecture

Our Story

Khakix was founded in 2015 with a vision to create gardens that harmonize with Ireland's unique landscapes while meeting the contemporary needs of our clients. What began as a small design studio has grown into a respected landscape architecture practice known for innovative, sustainable garden designs across the country.

Our journey has been shaped by a deep appreciation for Ireland's natural beauty and a commitment to ecological principles. Over the years, we've had the privilege of transforming hundreds of outdoor spaces, from compact urban gardens to expansive rural landscapes, each with its own unique character and challenges.

Today, our team of designers, horticulturists, and project managers works collaboratively to create gardens that not only look beautiful but function harmoniously with natural systems. Our designs have been recognized for their sensitivity to place, innovative use of materials, and thoughtful integration of native plantings.

Our Philosophy

At the heart of our practice is a set of core principles that guide our approach to landscape design

Ecological Harmony

We believe that the most successful gardens work with nature, not against it. Our designs enhance local ecosystems by incorporating native plants, supporting pollinators, and creating wildlife habitat.

Contextual Design

Every landscape has a unique character and history. Our designs respond sensitively to the existing site, architecture, and surrounding landscape to create spaces that feel authentic and rooted in place.

Sensory Experience

Great gardens engage all the senses. We carefully consider seasonal change, plant textures, fragrance, and sound to create immersive environments that offer new discoveries throughout the year.

Sustainability

From materials selection to water management, we integrate sustainable practices throughout our designs. Our goal is to create landscapes that are both environmentally responsible and easier to maintain over time.

Collaborative Process

We believe that the best designs emerge from a dialogue between designer and client. We listen carefully to your needs, preferences, and lifestyle to create outdoor spaces that truly enhance your daily life.

Timeless Design

While embracing innovation, we value designs that will mature gracefully and remain relevant for generations. Our gardens evolve beautifully over time, gaining character and richness as they grow.

Our Design Process

Creating a beautiful, functional garden is a collaborative journey. Here's how we work with you to bring your vision to life:

Initial Consultation

We begin with a site visit to understand your space, needs, and aspirations. This is an opportunity to discuss your ideas, lifestyle, preferences, and budget, while assessing the site's conditions and potential.

Concept Development

Based on our initial meeting, we develop preliminary design concepts that address your needs while responding to the site's unique characteristics. We present these ideas through sketches, mood boards, and initial plans.

Design Refinement

With your feedback, we refine the chosen concept into a detailed design, including precise layout plans, planting schemes, material selections, and construction details. We address all technical aspects while preserving the design vision.

Implementation Planning

We prepare detailed construction documents, specifications, and contractor briefs to ensure that the design is executed correctly. For larger projects, we can help phase the work to accommodate budgets and timelines.

Construction Oversight

During implementation, we provide regular site visits to monitor progress, address questions, and ensure that the work meets our quality standards. This oversight is crucial for achieving the intended design outcome.

Ongoing Support

We provide comprehensive maintenance guidance to help your garden flourish. For many clients, we develop seasonal care schedules and offer ongoing consultations as the garden matures and evolves.
