                    Striking the balance between hard and soft landscaping is often difficult and this is where Andrew Christopher excels. His gardens have a strong contemporary design intent, complimented with lush rich planting schemes which insures his gardens are not simply show pieces to be looked at but living breathing entities that transform the homes and lives of his clients.

 

                 A former windsurfing instructor Andrew felt the urge to create at an early age. He began running a successful design and build company Grassroots which won several awards including best private garden in Ireland (twice!).

“My Philosophy has always been to give any project, be it large or small the proper time and consideration to make it the best it can be. I view designing on a client’s property both as privilege and a responsibility. Gardens have the ability to change how you live your life and I take that very seriously. “

Andrew has received numerous awards for his work including three Gold Medals, two best in category awards, A designers choice award and a best in show at the prestigious Bloom Flower show in the Phoenix Park.
