Modern Garden Design for Outdoor Living
Our client sought to transform their garden into a vibrant outdoor retreat, blending modern aesthetics with enhanced functionality. With a focus on simplicity and order, Haywood Landscapes delivered a stunning, inviting space perfect for relaxation and entertaining.
Garden Elements:
The Challenge Ahead
With a larger, yet disjointed garden space lacking in flow and character, the homeowners sought to transform their garden into a vibrant outdoor retreat. The existing patio, minimal planting, and uninspiring front garden required a complete overhaul to align with the homeowners' vision of clean, modern lines and improved functionality.
Garden Brief
Armed with a wishlist emphasising simplicity and order, the goal was to create an inviting outdoor living area seamlessly connected to the home. Key considerations included enhancing front garden aesthetics, accommodating a lively pet, and integrating lighting and water features for added ambience.
Haywood Landscape’s Approach
Understanding The Vision
Our team engaged in thorough discussions with the homeowners to grasp their vision for the garden. Emphasising clean lines and functionality, we aimed to create a space that seamlessly blended with their lifestyle and aesthetic preferences.
Optimising Flow
Careful consideration was given to the layout and flow of the garden. By strategically placing key elements such as the porcelain-paved patio and lush planting, we ensured a harmonious transition from indoor to outdoor spaces. Curved lines softened angular features, creating a sense of fluidity and visual interest.
Reflecting Home Aesthetics
Inspired by the architectural style of the home, we incorporated design elements that echoed its modern aesthetic. From colour schemes to material choices, every detail was chosen to complement and enhance the existing features of the property.
Enhancing Atmosphere
To create a welcoming and inviting atmosphere, we focused on adding elements that would enhance the garden's ambience. This included the installation of lighting fixtures to extend
usability into the evening and an over-spilling urn water feature to introduce a soothing auditory and visual element.
The Results
The transformation exceeded expectations, delivering a stylish and functional outdoor space perfect for relaxation and entertaining. From the sleek patio to the serene seating wall, every detail was crafted with care, resulting in a stunning garden that continues to impress with each passing season.
Comments From Co-Founder of Haywood Landscapes, Andy Wiggins
“What a pleasure it was to transform a very unremarkable garden into something very stylish and contemporary. The new garden provides great spaces for entertaining, relaxing and outdoor living in general”.

A Creative Drainage Solution
We were asked to specify and quote for the installation of a land drainage system for a large garden that routinely flooded in the winter. The soil was deep, heavy clay in a flat low-lying area with nowhere to drain to. We proposed a more creative solution:

A Small Front Garden
Our client was planning improvements to her house with a new front door and other projects and felt the garden let the property down. It was scruffy and uninteresting and reflected poorly on her nice home.

A Modern Garden for Outdoor Living
As is often the case, when you move home, the garden you take on may not reflect your style or needs; it may be bigger or have elements that simply do not fit with your plans for enjoying your outdoor space. This was exactly the dilemma facing our clients near Faversham as they took on an awkward-shaped sloping garden...

A traditional country garden
Making the most of the natural beauty of the Kent countryside, a traditional country garden should reflect its outlying landscape character. Lending itself to a free-flowing, informal planting scheme, the more traditional rural landscape design will often feature wildflowers, natural water, some kitchen and cottage garden elements, and softer themes.

An Overlooked Garden Transformed
With a property on a large new-build development our clients were blessed with a relatively large garden, but it was set on a hillside and had an awful outlook towards tall fences, timber retaining walls and properties ‘up-slope’ looming over them.

A Contemporary Garden For Wildlife
Our client wanted a garden that would attract wildlife but not a textbook wildlife garden. She was keen to make a bold statement and wasn’t afraid of something a little out of the ordinary around her bungalow near the Kent coast

A Family Garden
With no existing features or character to guide the design, new-build homes with ‘blank Canvas’ plots can sometimes be more challenging to design than a more mature garden. This particular example was sloping across its entire depth and featured poor heavy clay soil. It was also an irregular awkward shape, producing lots of additional challenges.

A Seaside Garden
Separated from the beach only by a quiet road and with a commanding view across the English Channel, this fine property in Deal was let down by the garden. With a massively overgrown rockery and dilapidated crazy paving their coastal garden design was very dated, in a poor state, and completely unmanageable for our clients who are an elderly couple. They wanted us to come up with some suitable seaside garden ideas that would transform their garden.
