Curved Garden Design in Burnham-on-Sea
This curved garden design in Burnham-on-Sea, Somerset, shows how carefully considered shapes, quality materials and practical landscaping can transform an outdoor space.
We designed and built this garden to create a softer, more natural flow while giving the different areas of the garden a clear purpose. By combining grey sandstone, clay pavers, planting and carefully planned drainage, we created a garden that looks attractive while working well for everyday use.
Creating a Garden with Curved Lines
The curves form the main feature of this garden design.
Rather than using a series of straight lines and rigid edges, we introduced flowing curves to soften the layout and create movement through the garden. The curved shapes also help connect the different areas and make the garden feel more natural.
We carefully planned the proportions of each area so that the curves complemented the property rather than simply becoming a decorative feature.
This approach demonstrates how good garden design in Burnham-on-Sea can improve both the appearance and usability of an outdoor space.
Grey Sandstone Patio
We used grey sandstone to create the main patio areas.
The natural variation within the sandstone adds texture and interest, while the grey tones provide a contemporary foundation for the rest of the garden. The patio provides a practical space for sitting, entertaining and enjoying the garden.
We considered the position and shape of the patio carefully so that it worked with the curved layout and connected naturally with the surrounding planting.

Clay Pavers Add Definition
We introduced clay pavers alongside the grey sandstone to add contrast and definition, and create a circular partition wall to a seperate seating area.
The warm tones and smaller format of the clay pavers create a subtle contrast with the larger sandstone paving. We used them to emphasise the curved edges and help define transitions between different areas of the garden.
Using materials of different sizes and textures can make a significant difference to a garden design. Instead of allowing one paving material to dominate the entire space, we used the clay pavers to introduce detail and create visual interest.
Practical Patio Drainage
Good garden design needs to consider what happens to rainwater as well as how the garden looks.
We incorporated patio drainage into the design to help manage surface water and reduce the risk of standing water around the paved areas.
We planned the falls and drainage as part of the overall landscaping rather than treating drainage as an afterthought. This allowed us to maintain the clean appearance of the patio while ensuring the space works effectively during wet weather.
Planting Softens the Landscaping
We used planting to soften the hard landscaping and complement the curves throughout the garden.
The planting introduces colour, texture and seasonal interest while helping the patio and pathways sit naturally within the wider garden.
We carefully selected and positioned the plants to work alongside the sandstone and clay pavers. As the planting matures, it will soften the edges further and help the garden develop its own character.

Designing a Garden That Works
A successful garden needs to combine appearance with practicality.
We considered how the clients wanted to use the garden and designed the layout around those requirements. The patio provides a useful outdoor living area, while the curved pathways and planting create movement and interest throughout the space.
By combining different materials and carefully considered planting, we created a garden that feels individual without becoming overly complicated.
