Yes, why would you put fake grass down? :0

I want to see the rest of the house. outside looks really nice

Fake grass when he has perfectly fine real stuff there already :|

Patio in line with where the bins are and fake grass the rest.

Social area - check

Nice lawn - check

Raised planter beds, Led solar lighting etc Doug

paving all the way across with walk over lights.

nice furniture and some garden heaters

Sandstone patio across the back with a dwarf wall and entrance to grass and raised matching brick wall border to the garage side with sime nice climbers.

I'm interested in this too as our next project will hopefully be the front garden

I'll be interested to hear what you go for as my garden is pretty similar and I need some inspiration.

Does anyone know of any online garden landscaping design sites that I can play around with ideas?

How much you willing to spend?

Mums mates neighbour has just shelled out 40 grand on landscaping their rear garden and it looks like it'll be great.

Personally, bit of grass, panache paving or decking, sunloungers and a place to sit with a drink is what i'd go for.

gravel + board edges, slab the gap, deck the bit by shed

Anyone on here a garden designer?

Looking to get some ideas about how we can improve the garden.

Here is a shot of how it looks at the moment:



I was thinking about getting the grass section between the two patios joined up with paving and possibly adding more paving in a curve from the end with the bins to where the first door area is. That would give us a lot more useable space for a table and chairs in the summer for BBQ's :cool:

Happy to explore the ideas of ponds and other such landscaping.
