We chose Douglas Fir for its reasonable stability and longevity... it's a beautiful timber. The shed was part of a larger project that took around 5 months to complete.

Pleached trees in part might look odd, as they're best placed to reinforce a formal layout such as a path or a full length of a boundary. I'd consider a focal tree as it only looks a small landing window. A Birch, Acer, Amelanchier, Prunus or all good small to medium garden trees that you could buy at a reasonable size to start with. The other thing, pleached trees are expensive and need correct staking/guying to keep them in place. A generous patio outside the living room doors provides immediate seating outside the house, whilst a smaller patio area in the NE corner will optimise the evening sun. This then lends itself to an asymmetrical layout but perhaps with a central lawn which the an adjoining path takes you round, The lawn could be oval on a NW - SE axis with paved areas in the NE and SW corners with generous planting to the boundaries to provide a setting to the whole garden and hide the boundaries. Hope that helps. At least you have a blank canvas!

I would speak to a local landscaper to build this. It's trickier than it looks.

Hello Faye, What a lovely blank canvas. First of all I would check the depth of the earth under the grass. Unfortunately, modern builds are notorious for a lot of gravel, bricks and concrete less than a meter under the outside space. This may mean building up soil for any tall planting / trees or using very large pots to create this. Also for any possible foundation for structures. So check, various points around the garden. Also how high is the side brick wall and back fence ? What is on the other side of the wooden back fence ? :)
