Help with garden makeover

The path to the shed in recent. Any help with what to do would be appreciated. Clay soil, on the coast so windy most days. North facing.

A few hardy shrubs would make a big difference. There are many types suitable for North facing clay soils. Try Griselinia Littoralis. I think your grass would benefit from a treatment too. Is that an oil tank at the rear? Consider screening it with panels that could support creepers. It looks like a newbuild, is it?

Pity you've laid a straight path. So many options, but screening the oil tank should be a priority.

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
