first 7 images are of the back garden, last 3 are a seperate bit near the conservatory
the bit at the bottom of the back garden is only about 4" lower than the rest of the garden, but even that makes enough of a difference for it to look neat

You shouldn't remove asbestos yourself.

Nice wooden stair case to 2nd level, bit of decking at the front of 2nd level (with paved area for bbq), maybe couple gravel squares with some bigish palms? New garage/shed at back and grow some climbers up it? (or fencing) 
This is mine, simple lay out not too hard to maintain albeit smaller than yours..

I like that nik, fencing is nice as well
Gunna do basics, dismantle and remove garage, clear rubbish, dig up garden and slabs
Then get some quotes for the work and save! If im gunna do it, ill do it properly
keen on the 3 levels idea made out of decking

other than that, turf, gravel, decking. all cheap, and all work well
was just thinking the same about asbestos...

I have done a course on asbestos. Just remove it yourself, If your worried just spray the asbestos with water that way the fibres will not get in to the air
No need to pay anyone, do it yourself

Remember your need planning permission to build a garage as altering the outline of the house.

But you wouldnt build a double skinned garage unless it was habited. Theres no need for a cavity.

How about these as basic set ups. Just a thought. Completely depends on whether work will be done yourself or not and what budgeting you got!!!
Anyway gud luck with it!!!
