Landscaping Ideas for Kenyan Homes

Practical garden and outdoor living ideas for Kenyan homes — planting, paving, drainage, courtyards and pool decks.

Plant for the climate

Choose species suited to your region — drought-tolerant planting upcountry, salt-tolerant palms and shrubs at the coast.

Plan drainage from the start

Heavy rains can damage paving and foundations. Falls, channels and soakaways should be designed with the landscape.

Create outdoor rooms

Courtyards, terraces and pergolas extend your living space. Steps and stone terraces can turn a sloping garden into a feature.
