Coastal Garden Design Ideas, Renovations & Photos - August 2026

The client brief was to design a limestone wall, new entrance and pathway for beach access and a coastal garden that could withstand the southern ocean elements. The wall curves in reference to the Boomer Beach waves and give some protection to the plants behind. The plant list was extensive. Texture and foliage were a strong driver in plant selection. The pebble and sleeper path reference the Cockle Train railway that runs the length of the garden.

Six months after completion. All the planting has survived a very hot summer, and is thriving. A testament to good care from the owners, but also the importance of choosing the right plant for the right place.. Photo Strat Mastoris

This beautiful his & hers, curvaceous vs geometric garden was designed to unify very different family requirements! The curvaceous wildlife-focussed side design is based around the shapes of the sea, where the family love to surf; the geometric kitchen garden design is based on the maths of symmetry which underpins all the sciences. As with all of our designs we work closely with each client to pin down exactly what they want to achieve. I was actually the third designer commissioned to draw up a plan, and the one whose design they fell in love with; commissioned the build, and love even more now as the garden develops. It was so enjoyable working on the unusual geometric productive area design; creating a practical yet beautiful and certainly most personal garden.'
