Some projects are about the quiet art of restraint.
At Nonington, the brief was grounded in pragmatism — a cost-conscious landscape for a new residential enclave, framed by the rolling fields of the Kent countryside. The task: deliver a hard and softscape master plan for planning approval, and later shape it into a detailed planting scheme that could flex with budget realities.
The palette was simple, but its presentation mattered. Pockets of lawn and measured planting offered a crisp, tidy frontage to each plot, while shared spaces softened the hard lines with pockets of seasonal colour. The scheme’s economy did not diminish its role — here, landscaping was about order, neatness, and a welcoming threshold for residents returning home.
With tight deadlines and evolving requirements, the process demanded adaptability. Plans were revised, details redrawn, and the design held its clarity through each iteration.
Nonington stands as a reminder that even within constraint, there’s space to create landscapes that feel considered, coherent, and rooted in place.
From structured hedges to seasonal colour, a clean, economical planting palette shaped to present well, year-round, in the heart of the countryside.
Kent’s skies at dusk — a quiet reminder that even in the most pragmatic schemes, there’s still room for beauty to settle in.
