Hi there, I'm looking for some design advice for my small garden.
It's 3.7m wide by 9m long. (4m wide at its widest part - see drawing)
Currently has a decked area (4m wide by 2.6m deep). I'd like this removing and replacing with patio, in the very least. It used to have bannisters which have been removed.
I have a tree which is 1.8m from the back wall, and 1.1m from the right-hand fence. It has to stay put. The tree is causing me angst in designing a garden layout.
Need access to back gate. Small bin store is required at the end of garden - currently screened on the left with a trellis.
I love plants and flowers and love the cottage look.
Not adverse to completely removing the lawn, although I do like to see the green from the kitchen window. Cannot be artificial - if there is a lawn, please let it be real. Stepping stones or path not essential as I only walk to the backgate once a week in winter time (wet weather). I hate block paving so that has to go!
Photograph of current garden (please ignore lawn, mower broken!) Chest of drawers at end of garden is awaiting a tip run. Area behind tree (no man's land is really bothering me. This used to have a cement hardstanding and a shed but recently removed. Do not require shed as now using garage.
I've done a design sketch, but feel it is so uninspiring. Also attached is a sketch of the garden as it is now.
Any suggestions and advice would be wonderful.
Thank you.
