How Professional Landscaping Can Add Serenity to Your Kentish Garden

Known itself as the ‘Garden of England’, Kent is home to many properties with expansive gardens. For some, managing multiple gardens can be overwhelming and difficult to keep on top of. For many, professional landscaping has been the perfect solution, allowing for the expression of personal style and taste while allowing for easy maintenance. Kentish gardens shouldn’t be causing you stress, they should be nothing short of serene. Here’s how professional landscaping can transform your garden into the natural haven you’ve always needed. 

Add Water Features

Incorporating water features such as ponds, fountains or waterfalls into your garden space provides you with the gentle trickling sound sure to have a relaxing effect. Constant natural background noise such as trickling water is great for concentration too, meaning your garden space could even double as an outdoor office in the summer months. 

Shaded Retreats

On hot summer days when the sun is beating down upon your property, a shaded retreat allows you to enjoy being outdoors without worrying about the damaging effects of UV rays. For a more natural vibe, strategically planted trees or shrubs can provide shade. Otherwise, pergolas and awnings can be added to modernise and display some extra stylistic flair. 

Welcome in Wildlife

Many Kentish homeowners find the surrounding wildlife particularly calming and comforting to be around, so why not make your garden a space where the likes of birds, foxes, and hedgehogs can feel accommodated? Birdbaths, nesting boxes and roosting spots will encourage all manner of birds to visit your garden, while log piles and dense shrubs and hedges are perfect environments for hedgehogs seeking sanctuary. 

Incorporate Stunning Flora

Flower planting can add both colour and depth to your garden. Calming colours like blues and purples can help with stress relief, while bright yellows and pinks can help to evoke a sense of cheerfulness and joy. Adding flowers most commonly seen around Kent such as bluebells, buttercups and daisies can also help you to emulate the Kentish countryside just beyond your doorstep.

Add Paths and Walls

A key factor of serenity is also privacy. By organising your garden with paths and walls, you can compartmentalise your outdoor space, dedicate different areas to different purposes, and shield your natural retreat from the prying eyes of neighbours (which is more commonly desirable for back gardens). By choosing the right material from which to construct your walls, whether that be sandstone or brick, you can add texture and style and guarantee robustness. Cobbled or loose stone paths can also add to the whimsical nature of your garden, as well as providing that satisfying crunch under each step. 

There are many ways to transform your Kentish garden into a serene paradise. With the help of the right professionals, anybody can bring their dreams to life. If you’re eager to see your garden transform in time for spring, here are some of our recommendations:
