Need help on a garden design idea
Comments (3)Have a look at making a concrete base, you can dye it dark to look like slate and blend in, you can add fibres to strengthen it against heat. Another option is building a stone wall in a cylindrical shape. Choose your stone and work a template out then start building up. I don't think you want to fill the pit with stones as it will stop the airflow, you need air from below to keep the fire going. Good luck....See MoreI need new ideas for garden small features
Comments (2)I think coral is going to be an up and coming design feature in the near future, starting to see it in shops already. Anything that reminds us of a tropical paradise:)...See MoreNew Garden Design Help Needed
Comments (8)Hi Eve, It looks like you have a very nice blank canvas to work with! The trees are far enough away from the house, and as you said, they don't cast too much shade so they shouldn't be a problem at all. I agree with what was said previously. You should observe the garden space in different times of the day and decide where is it that you would like to sit (Maybe it is the case that you would like to sit with your morning coffee in a spot, and have a barbecue at lunch time at another spot). Once you choose where the seating areas will be, you can determine the planting places. There are plants for every situation from deep shade to hot sun, so this is not a limitation, you will just have to match the right plants with the right places. The only thing with planting that you should consider is if you do want to grow vegetables. Then a place in the sun is advised. I offer a garden sketch that can be done online- a drawing not to scale that gives you an idea of how best to divide your garden to cater for your needs and tastes. This is very cost effective way to have an initial idea when you are stuck. Please do let me know if you are interested and good luck with your new garden!...See MoreGarden new design with a new garden office
Comments (5)Hi Stacy, yes thats where my comment came from. I will look back at that again to see about the planting. I wasn't keen on the horizontal pavement. What I really need is a designer to look at the whole space. I'm not sure how to best build up the raised area and I'm worried it's going to be put together quickly and I will miss a key moment to get this right!...See Moremmac51
