last modified: 2 years ago

Can someone please advice if the Dizzy height red roses mixed with few start jasmines would go well and be able to thrive between the pleached trees? If not, what would you recommend?

It looks like you have a nice flat open area of garden too which is a must with young family. Have you considered a neat retaining wall in timber with an integrated slide (easily purchased and fitted) from the upper terrace down. I would keep it really simple and add some robust perennials and grasses to create some 'garden'. One other nice idea is to introduce some funky colour changing lights to brighten up the space on an evening - see our website for some inspiration and ideas and i wish you all the best.

What type of garden are you looking for? Contemporary or vintage, courtyard!! Pictures to start with then we can build on that. all depends on what look and feel you want.

I am currently involved in a project where we have buried the offending structure partially in a raised timber bed and planted a range of groundcover shrubs around the access - including: Pachysandra terminalis, Cotoneaster dammeri, Cornus canadensis to name a few. Good Luck!

Hello, this garden has so much potential, and although it is dull, it looks well cared for, so less prep before you get to the pretty stuff. first thing is to move the washing line, because it cuts the garden in half. I would have it running behind the shed to the tank thing, which I would screen with woven willow. I quite like the silvery fencing, but if you like things to look new, use a garden paint, but avoid the fake tan look. i would the clothe fences, starting with the fence to the left, use vine eyes and wire, to give plants something to hang onto. Next dig a border 1.5 metres wide. Try to slice the turves out neatly then stack them grass side down behind tank thing. They will compost down.Plant climbers every 1.5 metres down the garden. Plant them 45 cams out from the fence. I would use honeysuckle and small flowered clematis as they are easy, use 4 or 5 canes on each plant to fan the strands up to the wire, and tie them in with twine. Then I would beg everyone you know with a garden for spare plants to complete that border, they will be happy to help. for the second stage I would plant a tree just beyond the tank, where it will soften the outlines of the other houses, this could be incorporated into a border along that fence, along side tall, easy shrubs like kerria, lavatera and buddleja, if these grow wherever you are. then I would make generous beds abutting the patio, so that the lawn is at first a grass path before opening out into the garden. It looks sunny, so you have a wide choice, the beds could contain herbs, or grasses, or anything you like, but don't be afraid of height there as long as the plants you choose aren't too dense.. It is really boring to see the whole garden at once, and it will make the patio pretty, so you could even start with this, so you have something nice to look at. hope this helps
