CANTERBURY GARDEN DESIGN
When commissioning a garden design with Nectan Garden Design in Canterbury, the city’s rich history and diverse architecture can influence and inspire the style and elements of the garden.
Canterbury, known for its medieval structures and iconic cathedral, often inspires traditional designs that incorporate classic features like cobbled pathways and formal hedges. However, the presence of modern architecture can encourage more contemporary designs that emphasize clean lines and open spaces.
​
Geographically, Canterbury’s proximity to the River Stour enhances the potential for water features and natural landscapes, creating tranquil settings. The local geology, characterized by chalk and clay soils, impacts plant selection, favouring native species such as wildflowers and herbs that thrive in these conditions.
​
Canterbury’s temperate maritime climate supports a variety of flora, allowing for vibrant gardens year-round. By integrating historical context, geographical features, and local plants, Nectan Garden Design can create gardens that reflect the unique charm and character of Canterbury, harmonizing with its storied landscape.

This large garden design in Canterbury is thoughtfully divided into three distinct areas, each offering unique features and functionality. The central lawn provides a lush, open space for recreation and relaxation, ideal for family gatherings and outdoor activities.
Adjacent to the lawn, a stylish decked area with a pergola invites leisurely afternoons, complemented by designer garden furniture that enhances the contemporary aesthetic. This space serves as a perfect spot for dining and entertaining, offering a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor living.
The raised terrace, crafted from polished Kandla grey sandstone, showcases a modern yet timeless design. Built on a raised platform constructed from matching Victorian brick, this area offers elevated views of the garden and serves as an elegant retreat for quiet moments or socializing. Together, these three zones create a harmonious blend of tradition and modernity, making the garden a versatile and inviting space.
