garden feature help
Hi guys
Totally useless but moved in and this structure was left.
I’d love to make it perfect for my wife and friends to come over as a nice seating area.
Looking for photo ideas and what kind of tradesman to get in to do something like this??

Comments (1)It might be an idea to get a local arboriculturist to assess the trees before planting anything. If they've not been looked at for a while there may be some thinning, branch removal, felling to be done. They will also advise if any have disease. Then see what you have left. Some thinning can increase light levels and moisture enabling you to plant more varieties of plants and create character areas in the garden. Shade areas with ferns or sunny glades. Japanese azaleas work well on the fringe. Swathes of cyclamen look beautiful. Generally, large swathes of the same plant looks more natural, as it gives the appearance the plant has colonised naturally. As ever, the RHS is a great starting point. https://www.rhs.org.uk/advice/profile?PID=430...See MoreWhat's your dream outdoor feature?
Comments (2)An outdoor cinema. Just a sheet or roll up blind to project movies onto possibly from an add on device to the iPad, but with comfy rows of seating for it incorporated into the garden's design with some kind of shelter involved above the seating even if it's just a retractable awning. In my dreams there would also be a garden sound system but my blu tooth speaker would probably do....See MoreRear garden fence help!
Comments (0)Hi Houzzers! We’re looking to improve our view of the back of the garden from our kitchen. Ideally we’d like to take away the view of our neighbours shed altogether but open to suggestions from the good people in Houzz!! Garden is 6meters/19.7ft long across the back fence. Thank you in advance!...See More

It also needs a decent floor, the edging bricks look awful as they are upside down. They are also the wrong types of bricks - house bricks are not hardwearing enough as part of a floor and will eventually flake, but you could swop then for clay or concrete ones. An outdoor rug also creates cosiness. Planting climbers up it (Star Jasmine, honeysuckle, roses etc) will pretty it up. Oh and paint it, the dark brown is pretty grim.
