Help with Garden Design Please
Comments (5)Hi, I understand your frustration at your neighbours miss matching fence. Being the sunniest part of the garden it only accentuates the fault with a spot light. You could add some horizontal trellis to the upper part or if your budget can stretch do the whole fence. Painted soft wood can be a really economical solution and give a great effect.Your square patch of grass is only adding to the limitations of your garden. its drawing attention to the four corners and not creating an mystery. Having a curve to your grass will lead the eye away and create the illusion of more space.I would suggest building a curved seating area on your south side in the L shape by your shed. Railway sleepers positioned vertically with a chamfered top edge create a dramatic feature and are a really cost effect solution to screening. I would mask the end of your garden with these positioned across the whole width with an entrance to the right ( North side) The sleepers would then decrease in height as they curve round masking your shed and forming a built in seating area. They can also be stained adding to the dramatic effect. Black can look great if balanced well with bold planting. You are very fortunate to have a lovely hedge on your right, it could look fantastic. Good luck with your project!...See MoreHelp with Garden Design
Comments (7)Or you could put posts with trellis on your side to the height of the existing fence then grow clematis, honeysuckle and other climbers to soften the appearance. But certainly try the landlord. My brother's neighbour is renting and work needed doing on the garage. The landlady agreed to fund half the works on the rear wall which spanned both garages, so it was worth him contacting her. Our garden was done by professionals, and wasn't cheap, but in the first place we commissioned them to come up with designs based on certain things we wanted. That cost us about £120 and was money well spent. We were under no obligation to use them to do the work, and could have gone elsewhere or done it ourselves. But we're not natural gardeners and time and energy are lacking so they did the work for us. We developed a great rapport with the chap very quickly and felt we could trust him to deliver what we wanted. Their standard of workmanship was excellent and we're so pleased with the result. Having said were not natural gardeners, we now spend loads of time pottering in the garden because it is so easy to look after and we just enjoy being out there!

Comments (7)I would get rid of the lawn and replace it with decking and lots of borders: look at this site, a similar but larger garden to see the reason why that can work: http://www.lucywillcoxgardendesign.com/Projects/Pages/Highgate_-_Love_Your_Garden.html I would add a shed/summer house combo to maximise outdoor space or at least one with a porch (sometimes sold as lumber/timber drying areas) as that can double up space for kids toys and storage....See MoreHELP!

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 Morelondoncottage
