It does look neater and cleaner :)
I’ve got a large drive that the previous owners completely brick paved, but part of the finishing of my renovation will be taking some up for some planting. This will be for aesthetics but as we are becoming aware we do need need to consider flooding. So I would have liked your job better if you had included some planted areas, they can be strategically placed so not as to affect parking.

I can also do what you said add 1-2 flower beds but you have to consider what the customer wants and keeping them happy. Every person have a different way of thinking like these Driveways or Patio

I wonder if the chemical used on Ugly House was Oxalic acid? It’s used for lightening wood and I used it to remove black marks on my oak worktop. It did the job really well. It is derived from rhubarb leaves and is sold in crystal form which is then mixed with water. You must wear gloves, goggles and a mask as the crystal form is dangerous if inhaled. I was terrified when mixing it! It is used a lot by carpenters and wood workers.

@ Chris Goodchild - Thanks for the comments Chris... we find the barns that have the deep texture and richness of colour that we are looking for in Europe. Once we have found what we are looking for we then carefully dismantle the barn and ship the materials back to our stores in the UK. It is a labour of love and we really enjoy what we are doing and finding new ways in which to use the material. Funny to think that in the recent past these old buildings would have been demolished and the materials burned to make way for some brick monstrosity! :-)

Lol. My dog also loves to dig up freshly planted things, I tend to put a cage around them till the roots have established. I think plants would be wonderful, just remember not to raise the existing soil level around the base of the tree too much as it could be harmful to the tree. In this situation I think you need shallow rooted plants. Here’s some suggestions that would look nice and also be beneficial to the trees. Spring flowering bluebells (always look nice under trees) Bergenia and Lily of the valley, summer flowering nasturtium, comfrey, dill, fennel plus many more. Nasturtiums and comfrey are particularly beneficial as they draw aphids away from fruit trees and also provide winter mulch for the roots and they’re really easy to grow, pop in a few seeds in early spring and you’ll have a riot of colour come summer.

I would personally forget about painting the fence. Not because I like the orange, but because I'm lazy and I would rather invest my time and money in plants and soil (improvement of) and big planters or raised beds if you're going for that. If you plant climbers against the fence, most of it will be hidden anyway. And if your plants get larger, they will hide most of the fence too. I have solar powered lights in my garden and they give a lovely atmosphere at night. Mine are from Ikea. I have fairy lights along a fence and different kinds of lights that you can just put anywhere you like. Would be lovely to dot some lights around in your garden too.
