Garden in my new house

My garden is a most peculiar shape. Just left half an acre of landscaped garden and have no idea. I don't have to have grass but my fear is I don't want to be left with a ridiculously small strip. Want a path designed from house to garage as its long way up and very muddy. SW facing. No privacy from right of picture. Thinking of small light conifers. Path will be almost to left. Has anyone any ideas? Thx

Comments (74)Large gardens are all well and good if have the energy & ability and you can afford the time (or money) for maintenance, but it's not always ideal. The size of garden should be appropriate to the size of house and appropriate for the lifestyle of the owners....See MorePlease advice for my new garden design and why to plant as well !!!!!
Comments (18)This is where we need to know more about your hedge which I can't tell from the photo. If it's Leylandii you cannot cut it behind the last green shoot because it will not re-shoot and you'll be looking at a brown curtain forever. If it's brown because it's diseased then that is another problem altogether! My suggestion is you join the Royal Horticultural Society and then send them a sample of the dead clipping for them to pronounce upon! I can't tell you about diseases for sure and not at a distance. You'll also get plenty of plant advice from them generally. www.rhs.org.ik you'll be in safe hands there (it's only about £40 per year and has other benefits too. Good luck....See Morecedar tiles on my garden cabin and home extention
Comments (0)Dear wood specialists, I need to buy a protective oil for the cedar tiles which cover the garden cabin. After a few years I decided to pressure wash them and they have come back to their wood colour glory, they look like new :). But I cannot find a place in uk, where I can buy a protective oil. I understand bleaching oil is the one I need but I want a clear one, because so I can keep the original colour. Can you help? thanks...See MoreI don't understand how to turn my heating off in my new house.
Comments (8)I can’t imagine having heating on just now! 🥵 If you have space in the fridge or freezer, pop your pillow or at least pillow slip in to get nice and cool before bedtime. And if you have a fan, put some ice and/or cold water in front of it so it blows cool air around the room. Then sit down and work your way through the operating instructions. If you have a hot water cylinder you can turn the boiler right off and get someone to look at it for you. Water will stay hot in the tank for a day or two if you don’t use too much....See Moreanita imam

How about a roman style garden walkway - that would give you the feeling of peaceful security and also sunny hols. The Corinium museum in Cirencester has a great example of this made in a trapezoidal courtyard, so the shape doesn't have to be regular.
Now found a green oak verandah that is more uk style
Hope you find something that appeals to you and the project goes well.
