Do you mean something like a gazebo made of fabric or a more solid structure like a pergola?

Hi Sonia.

Thank you for coming back. Yes we were looking for a more solid structure.

Hi. would you use a shower? It may be very expensive to run plumbing there and I'm guessing (!) you may also need council and leaseholder permission. I can't save pics as I have a poorly iPad but maybe google images of moroccan style courtyard for inspiration. I would have a self-contained water feature perhaps on the end wall if there isn't the floor space. Use mirrors on a ŵall to make it feel larger, I think you can get Moroccan outdoor ones. Moroccan encaustic tiles for the floor. If in budget a U shaped bench seat which you can add colourful cushions to when the weather permits, if not an all weather rattan sofa with a coffee table. If you want to use it all year round I would add a ŵall heater and a canopy of sorts with either fairy lights or moroccan lanterns. I'd also think about practicalities of gardening so I might be tempted to mix in a few faux plants..

Mix of pitched and flat roof?

Hi, You may find the following guide useful when deciding between a hipped roof or flat roof, as either option may provide you with the space you need. https://www.planningportal.co.uk/info/200130/common_projects/17/extensions/10 Do also consult your local planning authority for clarification on limitations you may have in terms of extensions and exterior features. As suggested above, we would also suggest you persue a contemporary design! We have an online Houzz portfolio and ideasbook if you wish to explore further for ideas!

I'm looking for a multi-stemmed tree to plant directly into patio
Q

Hello, I really like both Sonia’s suggestions. What way does the patio face? And do you know what kind of soil you have? As you are planting directly into a patio these will be important as you want a tree that will be happy as if it fails it will be a pain to get out! One thing first: newly planted trees need lots of water, and this is especially true if it is planted in a patio so will get limited rain: so make sure you include a watering tube that will deliver water right to the roots. I would suggest: 1: Amelanchier. Lovely tree that is easy to keep under control and delivers visual interest year round. 2: Cornus controversa. The wedding cake tree. Lovely open form - not sure I’ve seen it as a multi-stem, but even as a standard it stays quite small. 3: some form of cherry. Again, these are reasonably easy to keep small, and have beautiful bark that will look great with lighting. Also lots of year round interest.

How to turn tarmac driveway into a relaxing patio?

You could have a look at this, maybe paint in a natural colour (or you may be able to use a stencil)and then add the rug as Sonia suggested? you could use it under the dining table and then fill the perimeter of the patio with plants etc. I’m not sure rugs attract creepy crawlies, probably the opposite. They just need hosing down to keep clean occasionally. Will the new fence allow for drainage? It may also be worth checking with the local council that you can erect the fence as I’m not sure some of the open plan developments do, probably best safe than sorry https://www.rawlinspaints.com/home/floor-paints/anti-slip-floor-paints/1120-703-mma-flexible-anti-slip-coating.html

My sister has just finished her garden and she had a lovely wooden pergola built at the bottom to catch the afternoon sun. It was built by the landscapers and she’s added some climbers. This garden is very new and I think it will fab this time next year.
