FOLKESTONE GARDEN DESIGN
Garden Design in Folkestone can draw inspiration from the town's rich architectural heritage and modern buildings, which reflect its historical evolution. The mix of traditional flint and brick structures alongside contemporary designs can guide plant selection and layout, creating a seamless transition between garden and architecture.
​
The region's unique topology, characterized by coastal cliffs and undulating hills, provides diverse microclimates that influence which plants thrive. Well-drained chalky soils, for example, favour drought-resistant species, while shadier, more sheltered areas can support lush, moisture-loving plants.
​
By understanding the local geology and climate, our designers can choose native and adaptive plants that not only enhance aesthetic appeal but also promote ecological balance. This thoughtful integration of architecture, history, and landscape allows for gardens that reflect Folkestone's identity, celebrating both its past and present while fostering vibrant, sustainable green spaces.

This coastal gravel garden design in Folkestone beautifully replicate the beach environment using flint decorative aggregate.
This choice not only mirrors the local coastal landscape but also provides excellent drainage. Incorporating hardy coastal plant species like echinops, with its striking blue globes, and vibrant sea thrift adds color and texture. These plants thrive in sandy, well-drained soil, making them ideal for a gravel garden.
The combination of flint and resilient flora creates a low-maintenance, visually appealing space that celebrates the seaside essence of Folkestone while supporting local biodiversity. This design harmoniously blends aesthetics and ecology.
