Canterbury garden design

CONTEMPORARY

Canterbury, Kent

This garden design in Canterbury was carefully designed so that it would leave a lasting memorable impact on the people coming into the garden. We wanted to find an approach of combining the modern style of living with the natural beauty of the countryside in this garden design.

The Garden Designers in Canterbury Kent centred on incorporating a variety of shapes and textures to complement the home’s modern, contemporary style from the start. The house had clean, straight lines, so the garden had to be just as similar. We also wanted it to include natural elements which made the overall design softer and let in the wild Kentish landscape. We designed a garden that felt calm and inviting by carefully planning how both constructed and natural pieces blend together.

Garden Designers in Canterbury Kent designed this garden to make it feel as though there were different areas and interests throughout the garden. For example, there were quiet spaces to unwind and a sleek, functional space for entertainment that was perfect for spending time with family and friends. We took this approach to make sure that the outside space is both lovely to look at and helpful for everyday life.

Garden Designers in Canterbury Kent carefully used a lot of different materials and heights. The garden looks more attractive because every element of the design was carefully chosen. For example, the planting beds with bright colours and textures, as well as the modern slabs and wood accents.

 

The planting plan has a mix of grasses with varied textures, bold perennials, and flowers that bloom at different times of the year. This garden includes plants such as Echinacea, Verbena, Achillea, Agastache and Stipa. Garden Designers Canterbury Kent made sure this garden gives it a classic country feel that ties everything together.

Planting was an important focus for our Garden Designers in Canterbury Kent.  The planting adds colour, movement and all-round interest. These wildflower areas are a modern take on traditional cottage garden planting. They fit in perfectly with the Canterbury house’s modern lines and benefit local pollinators and wildlife. The selected wildflower species bloom all spring, summer and autumn, keeping the garden alive and changing all year round. This approach on this garden design not only makes the structural parts of the design softer, but it also makes the garden feel more at home in the Canterbury countryside.

In this garden design in Canterbury, a beautiful Corten steel firepit is in the midst of the entertaining area, and there are specially designed permanent seats around it. This section of the garden makes it feel like a natural place to sit and talk. It also adds warmth and mood to outdoor events. The deep, reddish tones of the Corten steel go well with the green planting and are similar to the colours of the Canterbury area.

The firepit and bench have sleek, modern lines that work well with the style of the house as it is currently. Carefully planting around this area makes it feel softer and more private. It also makes the fire pit area feel like it fits in with the rest of the garden design in Canterbury.

In the middle of this Canterbury garden design, there is a beautiful aluminium water table that provides a peaceful focal point. The bright water makes the garden look alive by reflecting the sky and sunshine. There are a lot of plants around the water table, which makes it a peaceful spot. A good place to think and unwind. The aluminium offers the feature a sleek, modern style that goes well with the house. The plants around it make the element look softer and more like it belongs in the Canterbury garden.
