Considering building a wall (no pun intended) along the left and right sides of the garden in this photo Left side Right side A similar type of brick to the ones used here The overall objective is brighten up the garden without trying to make it look too flashy. On the left side I'd like to plant Portuguese laurel for privacy and prevent overlooking from the adjoining property. The slide and swings in the photo have to go due to wear and will replace with a treehouse at the bottom of the garden beside the blue shed. The garden is approx. 20 metres long and 10 metres wide. Would really appreciate any design tips or potential pitfalls...

Gardening

Hi, I am in the process of renovating a house and garden (see image above). The wall on the right boundary is curved and restricts the ability to exit the car and is generally annoying for reversing out of the driveway. I was thinking a straight driveway and plants either side, flower beds to cover up the ugliness of the curved wall and lessen the visual impact. The renovated house will have a slightly extended porch and the white square (chimney) will be removed. Has anybody any design advice for this space or dealt with similar? I have a north facing orientation and the driveway may need to have space for two cars in time (not absolutely essential). I also have to store bins discreetly as no rear access sow as thinking of a wooden lift up board with plants and flowers going through it to disguise. Thanks for any suggestions.

I am getting a garden room in and noticed when the structure went up today, that the timber structure is bigger than the concrete base on one end. The timber frame is bigger than the concrete base by about an inch on one end. What are the risks to the structure in this case?
