This small garden design in Kent reflects the relaxed feeling of the coast whilst still providing a lush and modern outdoor retreat. Our goal of this design was to make the best use of the texture, movement, and year-round interest by integrating functional entertaining areas with vibrant planting.

The design is based on large drifts of ornamental grasses that flow in a way that makes them look like a coastal scene. Robust sedum and other lush green plants provide the area structure and seasonal colour. Gravel has been put in between the porcelain plank pavers to give it a natural, coast vibe. This combination of planting and hardscaping makes sure that this small garden design in Kent looks inviting and vibrant all year round.

There is a stunning dining area in the front area of the garden, with lovely Bert & May grey and white patterned tiles on the floor. This bold tile choice not only defines the space for gatherings, but it also adds a modern touch that makes the room more interesting to look at. The area is great for eating outside, which makes it a great place for people to get together and relax.

A corten steel water table is a main focal point of the design, adding a dynamic element. We designed the garden so  the water feature can be seen from the main areas, yet it is enclosed by lush plants. It adds a modern artistic element and a calming sound. This focal point adds to the peaceful, immersed feeling small garden design in Kent.

A cosy seating area is hidden away in the back corner of the garden, surrounded by lots of plants. This small area is hidden away and makes a great reading area or or for enjoying the quiet, but it allows you see the main aspects of the garden. This space feels private and serene because as its surrounded by planting. It’s a hidden treasure in the overall design.

This small garden design in Kent is a great example of a coast-inspired garden. The use of the bold materials, and lush coastal-inspired planting makes this a beautiful but relaxing outdoor space.
