Daniel O’Neill
Founder and Director
Twenty-five years of experience, a passion for all things outdoors and a vision of creating truly amazing gardens – that’s what I bring to Nordland Landscapes.
I started working within the landscaping industry as soon as I left school. Since then, I’ve worked on hundreds of projects, ranging from small driveways in the suburbs of London, to big budget two-year-long landscaping projects in the home counties. Prior to starting Nordland Landscapes, I managed and built many prestigious projects, such as gold medal winning gardens at the Chelsea Flower Show and Bali award-winning domestic gardens.
I’m based in Muswell Hill in north London, and was inspired by its hilly nature to create the company logo. The name ‘Nordland’ loosely translates as ‘north land’, from the Danish word ‘nord’ for ‘north’ reflecting where we are based and inspired by my ongoing attempts to learn Danish.
What makes Nordland Landscapes special?
At Nordland Landscapes, we never compromise on quality and all our projects are built to last using premium materials with enhanced specifications factored into the construction of every item. With 25 years’ experience working in the landscape construction and garden design and build industry, we’ve obviously accumulated an impressive amount of expertise. But it’s our attention to detail that really helps us make our clients’ gardens look amazing.
Our multidisciplinary team of skilled landscapers specialise in all aspects of horticulture, as well as hard and soft landscape construction. We’re experts at constructing a unique vision of beautiful outdoor living, built especially for you.
Daniel and the Nordland team have totally transformed our outdoor space. What was a small unused yard is now a gorgeous garden which has completely changed how we use it. We have been really impressed with the craftsmanship, the fence and seating area which was meticulously made and is faultless. The planting is also perfect providing enough interest whilst being manageable. I would highly recommend Daniel and Nordland Landscapes to anyone looking to change their outdoor space. They are total professionals and made the whole experience seamless – I hardly noticed they were there!

We have been incredibly impressed with Daniel and his team. The guys on site were incredibly tidy and careful of our house. The patio they laid is perfect and drains really well. The seating area is exactly what we wanted. The planting has developed over this year and looks fantastic. We had a number of outdoor lights fitted which are of high quality and also look great. At every stage they had ideas of what would work and suggested changes to our plans that have made the final project better than the original plans.

Nordland Landscapes recently created a children’s play area at the bottom of my garden in north London. The work was done on time, and Dan and his team were professional and courteous. My family are really pleased with the result.

Thank you for the great garden you have made for us. The unforeseen challenges of a new-build ‘builders’ garden were a shock to us but did not seem to phase you, Daniel. The 11th-hour discovery of solid concrete waste almost a metre in diameter was swiftly sorted out. The experience, patience and attention to every last detail were superb. With the Nordland team, we were clearly in a safe pair of hands. All work was completed on time and on a budget so we can recommend you to future clients with confidence.

Dan has accumulated years of experience implementing high-end gardens for a top firm. His knowledge and expertise in all aspects of garden installation are fantastic. If you are looking for a garden built to last, with a high-quality finish and delivered by a polite, competent professional, you should engage Dan’s company. He is world’s apart from the myriad of ‘man with van’ type landscapers who often have very limited experience and certainly no finesse (but often charge as if they do).

It's been an absolute pleasure working with Nordland Landscapes. They came highly recommended by our garden designer and having seen their work first-hand, we now know why! Daniel and his team worked on our project whilst we were away and we came back to our new garden which was completed to an even higher standard than we would have ever imagined. Despite us being away, Daniel made sure we were updated on a regular basis and stuck to committed timelines. He also went over and beyond to ensure that we were happy with all the aspects of the final product. At the design stage, Daniel's experience and recommendations were also invaluable. Their work ethic and the quality of their work are truly immaculate!
Simon and Lara
Nordland Landscapes showed utmost professionalism in their work. They were supportive in the early stages working through the scope of work with me and the designer, flexible and commercial during construction, and highly attentive to detail in workmanship and build. I am very pleased with the result.

Daniel and his team were exemplary throughout what turned out to be a complicated build. The communication was always excellent, managing our expectations with plenty of notice on key decision making - avoiding and delays or issues further down the line. We had clear ideas about what we wanted, and Daniel always handled our requests with diplomacy and clarity, but equally challenged our aspirations where it was appropriate to do so.
Ian T.
Dan and his team took on a project to level the retaining walls, put in flower beds on our terrace and fit a custom made BBQ. It was a substantial job and we were very happy with the result. The team were courteous, hard working and tidy. Dan was regularly on site to check progress and always available when we needed him.
David & Lucy
'Wow!' is the word I hear every time someone walks into my garden. The craftsmanship of the pergola and cedar fencing and the attention to detail is second to none. Daniel and is team and friendly and hard working, even in 40 degree heat. I would definitely recommend them.

Our garden project came at the end of a complex major house renovation. Nordland Landscapes made it simple. They have been great to deal with at every stage of the process. The attention to detail, thoughtful approach and hard work is just what we needed. There were no surprises on budgets and everything was handled in a straightforward and transparent way. We couldn’t be more pleased with the results and love what his team have created.
Martin S.
Daniel and his team were utterly fantastic. They entirely redid our front garden into a gorgeous oasis. Daniel worked with us to adapt our initial design plan to bring the costs into line with our budget without changing the look we were after. The build was completed on time and their attention to detail was incredible, making sure that every paving stone and every plant was perfectly laid. They are real professionals and we look forward to inviting them back for our next garden project!
