Advice regarding garden layout for paths, patio/decking area
Hey guys,
I need inspiration and your suggestions.
I'm after a way to tie in the different aspects of my evolving garden. I've had a garden office installed with a temporary path on one side and a new shed at the other back corner. I do plan to rip up the old patio and paths at the bottom of the photo and replace, so everything is potentially subject to change.
My initial feeling was to add a deck immediately outside the double doors of the garden office and a linking path down that side/edge of the garden, or extend the proposed deck to replace all the shrubs, all the way to join where the old patio currently sits. From this I want to create a seating area, and somewhere to cook (BBQ), potentially with a pergola aspect to it, leaving the lawn generally how it is, with the exception of reclaiming the area with the temporary path.

4 years agoHad some thoughts about your garden and came up with a rough sketch:) (see pic). Decking outside the garden office would look nice but I’m not sure about bringing it all the way to the house as decking can take a fair amount of maintenance although you can get composite decking or slabs that look like wood which would probably be easier to look after. I think breaking it up and having some planting would be nice and more pleasing to look at. So on the sketch I brought the decking to surround the office windows then added a small seating area and space for planting which could include a small pond or water feature. This could be like a contemplation area where you can relax and have a tea break:) Instead of decking pathway I think slabs or tiles to match the patio would be better. The patio I’ve kept as is but extended a little to include bbq area. Did think that putting the bbq on the right side of patio might be good as well. Put in some extra planting areas but that’s just because I like plants:) planting pocket is basically a hole in the deck but some tall grasses or similar with lighting would look great on the left side of the office and help to balance things out. Not sure on a pergola mainly because I think adding another tall structure on the left would make that side of the garden seem overly busy but it’s entirely up to you what you want. Anyway hope this gives you some fresh ideas:) P.s. sketch is not to scale.
