Garden space design dilemma + fence privacy
Hello, This is my first post so please be easy and also newbie to gardening so may be basic questions. We recently done this garden so far along with rear extension but now seems stuck with some basic dilemma questions such as
1. How to cover trellis for privacy as garden wall is side of street can be overlooked. We been advised to try jasmine climber along with climber roses to close trellis but it will take few years.
2. Also in dilemma as where to position BBQ and seating in garden. Natural inclination is to use back corner for seating and BBQ but not quite sure if that's going to work right.
3. What sorts of plans to put in pots to build privacy over fence.
Has anyone gone through such situations and experience so share or any professionals here? Any advise ideas will be really helpful.
Thanks for reading and your help in advance, P

Comments (10)E D is right. A garden boundary with another neighbour shouldn’t exceed 2 meters in height. However if the neighbour agrees to some trellis then it shouldn’t be a problem just be aware that if they change their mind or if they move out and you have new neighbours then you could be forced to take it down. Same applies to evergreen hedging which exceeds 2 meters. Jonathan’s suggestion for Portuguese Laurel is a good one tho as it’s very easy to grow and can be easily pruned to shape. Personally I would go for 1 deciduous tree or 2 deciduous shrubs but look up the eventual height and spread. For a tree I might look for a blossom, Prunus sargentii (Sargent’s cherry) looks to be a nice shape for the space. For shrubs there’s lots of choice but have a look at Virburnum oculus ‘Roseum’ (Snowball tree), Philadelphus coronarius (Sweet mock orange), and good old buddliea (butterfly bush). These should grow well with very little care and if they do get out of hand then should be relatively easy to prune back....See MoreHELP! Garden Design Idea's for privacy & new shed
Comments (14)The highlight of your site can be a small pond. Add a couple of moisture-loving plants to it and your garden will sparkle with new colors. You can also divide the site into separate zones. So that they do not visually mix, use a frame with climbing plants or a hedge. Garden paths will help to add elegance and grooming to the site. In addition to practical functions, they carry aesthetic value. Also, do not forget to equip a comfortable and cozy seating area in your garden. Landscape design should begin with a plan drawing and functional zoning of the territory. It is necessary to indicate the location of all necessary items and sites on the map of the area, taking into account the size. If there are children in the family, then it is important to provide a playground. The playing area should be located partly in the shade, partly in the sun and without drafts. The design of technical premises requires a serious approach. It is customary to locate a barn and a compost pit near the garden. If it becomes necessary to heat the house with the help of firewood for their storage, an additional building is erected. Firewood sheds can be adjacent to the barn or located at a distance - in the second case, they often perform a decorative function Add nformation https://sirinsoftware.com/industries/consumer-electronics-solutions/...See MoreNeed a Garden Designer and Landscape Gardener for a garden re-design
Comments (9)Hi Ellie, ok I will edit it more as it should read we want all the shrubs and trees removed which is a tall feat when your not qualified I would guess. Also with the council not available to remove garden waste, we already have a lot piling up with the compost awaiting the date for when we can remove it. Our garden already has fence all the way around, however it needs updating as it has broken it a lot of places....See MoreSouth west facing garden design dilemma
Comments (17)Last one. Bit more formal but in a modern way. Deck and gravel area are raised up a little with a step for the change in levels. Would need a little more working out I think but definitely achievable. Small strip of planting area between trampoline and gravel area I was thinking could be trellis with some climbing plants such as clematis. Doesn’t have to be too high just enough to cover the view of ugly trampoline legs 🙂. Water feature could be something very modern looking but you could just use a planter with some topiary perhaps to keep costs down. For the base of the play area you could use bark chips or I think you can get recycled rubber chippings, not sure how much these cost but bark chips are readily available. Anyway hope this gives you something to think about. I think first thing to do is get the fence replaced then get a few quotes in for patio as this is likely to be the highest cost. It’s possible to diy paving but you do need to make sure that the drainage and levels are correct. A big job best left to experts I reckon but do ask landscapers if there are ways you can help to keep costs down....See More
