Comments (4)Hi Tacita, I think that a decking at the level of the house floor that extends the house to the outdoors would look great just outside your pretty garden doors! It is also generally a cheaper than a patio. I think that overall you should establish what you want to use the garden for: an area of lawn for the children will be important, but apart from that and an area for entertainment (deck or patio), what else would you like to use the garden for? growing fruit and veg? is there any features that you would like in the garden? water fetaure, pergola, arches etc? This will help you to determine what areas you need to have in the garden and the best way to divide it and give it shape and form. You don't necessarily need to cover the new bit of fence. But perhaps having some ornamental trees that will give you year around interest such as a cherry tree or amelanchier would be a good idea. If you would like more advice, I do online garden design and consultations and have some very affodable options. Please let me know if you are interested and good luck with your garden!...See MoreGarden kids play area design dilemma
Comments (3)Plants help with everything. They make any area more exciting, enticing and inviting. Try googling the Duchess of Cambridge show garden which was at all the major RHS Shows in 2019. There lots of plants which really tough and can cope with kids jumping on them sometimes. Also according a QED program I saw many years ago, damp grass is the safest surface to land on. Unfortunately completely dry grassed areas with clay soil become as bad as concrete to land on when really dry! Not design solutions but food for thought....See Moregardening design dilemma
Comments (9)You’ve got a lovely big patio area and a proposed covered seating area. A path takes you from A to B. I don’t think you really need a path across the lawn to the arbour or water feature, because the area is a ‘destination’ which invites you to sit in the arbour, lay a rug on the lawn and read a book or wander round the flower beds. You could put a couple of slabs from the patio where the access arrows are to make these comfortably wide entranceways into the lawn area. Personally I would probably mulch all the flower beds with bark - including the two entrance areas and not bother with any more slabs....See Morefrasermay
