Garden design help needed
Comments (44)This thread was started by minnie101 in March and her comments at the end of May indicated she may have been by then well advanced in the planning if not the implementation. Doesn't that make suggestions for clearing and early stage design the following January somewhat posthumous? Changing topic to a piece orf growing advice for minnie101: we are now in a new year with a new growing season coming up. Instead of buying new lavendar plants to replace those which are getting leggy annd unkempt, why not look up how to take cuttings from those you have and replace with newly grown, free plants of your own? This will not only work with lavendar but with a huge variety of herbacious plants as well as most shrubs andd, if you have the patience to wait for the results, trees. You need some cheap plastic plant pots and some compost. A trowel would be useful. But you could even use an old spoon from the kitchen and a few empty yoghurt, margarine or other empty, washed packaging tubs with a couple of holes punched in the bottom for drainage. Here's an offer for all you Houzzer folk. If enough people would like to learn how getting free plants from your own cuttings works, I shall write an article for you and post it with a few pictures or drawings for clarity, here on the Houzz site if I can find out where to put it!...See MoreI need help on garden design please!

Comments (13)Thank you all for the replies - this is inspiring me! Jonathan and rachel - I think you are right about the steps - this probably is a lot of work to do for potentially not much benefit (and yeah it would be another thing to navigate. rachelmidlands - thank you for the advice on raised bed size, I couldn't find out much info about this on the internet. I would take it if I was growing herbs like rosemary 60cm would be ideal? minnie101 - that photo looks amazing - I love the tiles, it looks almost like an outdoor carpet (are they porcelain?). I would love to see some examples of a coffee-to-dining table, I've not come across that before. Tbh, dining outside just isn't too important for me, but a nice place to relax with friends? Absoloutely. I am overlooked, however, the tree at the back blocks the closest, the neighbours either side I don't consider too much of an issue. I'd love to add a pergola over the seating, that sounds like a great idea! I'd be curious if your plan with the water feature actually worked with cancelling out the noise from your neighbour? I have pretty much the same issue with a family next door and it would be good to have some more peaceful background noise!...See MoreHelp with Garden design
Comments (9)Been thinking of your garden and did a couple of little sketches just to give you some ideas. I like Celerygirls first image as well:), I’m nowhere near as good with photoshop tho. Yes definitely keep some patio outside the French doors, you wouldn’t want to step out into mud, or worse still bringing mud inside. I think there’s lots of options where you can put the patio but I think it comes down to where you actually prefer sitting in the garden. I always prefer to be close to the house where I’m not overlooked and somewhere shaded from the heat of summer sun. But you might like evening entertaining or somewhere to sunbathe etc. The extra little rectangle at the back is perhaps a little awkward as it has a slight incline and might end up being a redundant space. Personally I’d put an ornamental tree there, (not too close to the fence), something tallish but with not too much spread. A weeping cherry might be nice or a maybe an Italian style pencil tree or two. Anyway, sketches. (Click to enlarge)....See MoreSarah Ch
