Colours

Coastal landscapes often feature natural colours like sand, sky blue, and muted greens or blues. Adding bright colours can create a striking contrast. Consider adding plants with flowers in shades of pink, purple, or yellow to bring vibrancy to the area. To create a more subtle look, use plants with foliage in shades of grey, silver, or white. When selecting colours, take into account the colours of the surrounding environment. With careful planning, colours can be used to enhance a stunning coastal landscape.

natural materials

Coastal gardens often require hardscaping materials that are durable and able to withstand harsh weather conditions. Natural hardscaping materials like gravel, and bluestone are ideal for coastal gardens as they are strong and can withstand the salt and sun exposure. Natural timber finishes compliment the overall design, especially when left to patina with age.
