Folkestone garden design
Folkestone is one of Kent’s most distinctive coastal towns – a place where dramatic sea views, creative energy and unique architecture shape the way outdoor spaces come to life. This makes Folkestone garden design an inspiring blend of coastal resilience, contemporary style and natural beauty.
Folkestone’s clifftops, sea breezes and coastal microclimate offer both opportunities and challenges. Successful Folkestone garden design embraces these conditions by selecting plants and materials that thrive in windy, salt-tolerant environments while still delivering colour, movement and year-round structure.
Typical elements that work beautifully in Folkestone gardens include:
- Drought-tolerant and salt-resistant planting
- Hard landscaping materials that are suited to coastal exposure
- Sheltered seating areas
- Soft, naturalistic borders
These design choices help create gardens that feel rooted in Folkestone’s coastal character.
Coastal Expertise
Our story began more than twenty years ago on Britain’s southern coastline, where our Sussex and Kent garden design teams developed a deep understanding of how to create outdoor spaces that don’t just cope with maritime conditions but truly thrive in them. From coastal gardens of Hythe, Folkestone and Deal to the inland settings of Canterbury and Wingham, this specialised knowledge informs all our designs, teaching us that understanding a space’s natural context is crucial to creating gardens that flourish.
Whether we’re delivering thoughtful garden design for Sussex’s exposed seafronts in places like Seven Dials and Pevensey or creating bespoke outdoor spaces for sheltered country homes near Ashford or Dover, our process always begins with a strong sense of place.
This commitment to place-sensitive garden design has established our reputation as leading garden designers across Sussex and Kent’s diverse landscapes.

Gardens that reflect the folkestone lifestyle
Whether you’re close to the beachfront or tucked into one of Folkestone’s historic streets, Folkestone garden design can be tailored to:
- Designing low-maintenance, coastal-ready planting
- Introducing structure and privacy without blocking views
- Build spaces ideal for relaxing, entertaining or outdoor dining
- Blend modern design with natural surroundings
The goal is always to design a garden that feels personal, functional and deeply connected to Folkestone’s unique setting.
