Comments (24)Shed integrated into covered seating area, back of shed has door opening onto street/ lane. I am guessing that you are UK based, hence the covered seating area. You could put doors on the 'open area' and have it as a garden room too with a sofa and small stove?. Nice for those Sunday mornings with a hot cup of coffee and the Sunday papers. Curved path laid on nidagravel, edged in steel Turf lawn Plant herbs and veg instead of shrubs Two beds either side of decking area Replace fence and top with trellis for privacy...See MoreSmall urban garden spruce - ideas?
Comments (1)you could grow a climber on the bottom of your face of your house? I see the one above the window and perhaps you could continue that theme or maybe use a different plant and interweaving where the two plants meet. If you are going for the luscious look try useing larger waxy leaves, the bonus to waxy leaves is they are generally evergreen too so your garden won't look as twiggy in winter. Rhubarb grow very large leaves (though not waxy or evergreen) that take up lots of space and almost everybody likes a good crumble!...See MoreIs your home too big, too small or perfect?
Comments (8)You get used to the space very quickly and just as quickly fill it up with furniture. The feeling of space is great and as a new build I doubt heating will be an issue with insulation standards. I would suggest creating a feeling of space, lots of storage and light are crucial. 1.5 acre garden is very large, especially with a baby. I used to have just under half an acre and spent forever getting no where with weeding and cutting grass. I literally planted hundreds of trees as a wind belt and for decoration and you will need a ride on mower. Does give you space for a play area, patio, veg and fruit garden etc....See MoreGarden inspiration for small garden combined with driveway?
Comments (18)I need to resurrect this thread! So 2 years on we've completed all of the downstairs internal work, and knocked down the garage. We spread some grass seed, and there is now a garden space where once sat the garage. We did have a builder booked in for rebuilding the garage to the side of the house, and planned to add some decking where the patio doors are along the back of the house!/wall maybe, but now the builder has cancelled and is returning our cash, we're therefore reallocating funds to a much needed upstairs bathroom instead. I wonder if there are any budget friendly suggestions and ideas to make an area that will hold gardening tools/provide cover for my partner to do his hobbies by the side of the house? It's a wall then huge hedge beyond that which is directly parallel with a footpath and road on the other side. I thought about a shed but would the hedge not be impossible to cut and would it rot quicker, plus would the roots die off? We need to keep the hedge or have some privacy from the road, but equally need a place to store and use the space at the side. Thoughts?...See MoreWillow Garden Estates
