Comments (8)Two great points have been made, the top step has to have a use or I don't think you'll ever go up there so either a seating area as suggested or something great to look at. If water features are something you like then to have then you have many options - running down the levels with the steps or without, make the top step your water feature surrounded by gravel. I'd also make the block wall either side of the steps into planters. Hope this helps....See MoreGarden Design/landscaping help
Comments (0)Is there anyone in the West Yorkshire area available to pop down and advise on how to do the garden. Got an extension going on at the moment and considering garden options. the garden has quite a slope downhill and is approx 8m wide with a porch built to the rear. many thanks...See MoreGarden design ideas needed for cottage garden
Comments (9)Love the frontage of your cottage. That wall is adorable! You have a couple of shrubs there already. Do you know what they are? There are some great low growing plants that need very little work once they are established. As well as T Gray‘s suggestions, you could also add Aubretia which is a low growing plant that has gorgeous purple flowers in spring. It’s very common and available everywhere. Campanula is a blue flower that cascades in summer (some are tall so read the labels). Another flower is Erigeron, again it spreads and is low growing with quite large purple daisy like flowers in the summer. My favourite is Geranium - they come in a huge array of colours and various heights so check those before buying. They flower in the summer. Don’t forget daffodils, such a ray of sunshine in the spring. They can be planted in the autumn. A lawn is a great idea - relatively cheap to lay too. I think the best way to have a low maintenance garden is to stick with trees and shrubs which dont need too much fussing with. Trees can be pricey, but so many places sell shrubs, not just garden centres, such as nurseries,, supermarkets and even car boot sales!

Comments (9)I did eventually get it finished. We went all porcelain for patio. The ground was raised so easier to step out of patio doors. Still need to paint the decking or replace with composite. Now to put the green back in as we removed most of plants. I want to give some life to the gravel covered membraned soil beds. Suggestions welcome for the back fence which is north facing. Have bought some 50cm tall pots for it, maybe bamboo to contain roots. Back planter currently is full of tulips, doesn't get any sun. Going to put herbs in the middle planter. Would like a dwarf fruit tree, maybe evergreens too. Possibly alliums amongst some grasses. Thanks to those who made suggestions....See MoreThe Rooted Concept Garden Designs
