We finished renovating and extending our house a while back and are now getting around to getting the back garden done. I did most of the work on the house but don't have time to do much of the work on the garden so we'll get someone in to do the whole lot.
[broken link removed]were recommended to me and seemed good when he came for initial briefing. He's coming back with a computer-designed plan on Monday based on rough briefing we gave him and his ideas. Any experiences with them or recommendations for others are much appreciated.
It's a small garden at the back of a 3-bed end of terrace which has been extended to the side. Roughly 10m x 5m with a shed in back left corner (I'll post more details later). Our current plan is to have a small deck outside patio doors on left side leading up to the shed, with patio in the far right corner (as the garden is NNW facing and that's where the sun catches in evening) with some brick raised flower beds in a few places and fencing covering the walls. We also like the idea of putting in scene lighting in a few places and having a water feature in somewhere.
It's too small to have grass, though I wonder is there artificial grass that might be interesting? Our main concern is we don't want it to look like a plain deck running into patio so an ideas on how to mix up the surfaces would be great.
I think we know broadly what we want, but I reckon people with experiences in this area might know a few Do's and Don'ts that we could benefit from, so I'd appreciate any suggestions, warnings, or ideas. Thanks.
