I?d like to remodel the garden which is currently all grass. Is approx 10m x 5m. I?d like it landscaping to include small patio approx 2.5 x 2.5 (curved not right angles) (Quality stone / tile) in one corner.
Shaded area in another corner to have shrubs (would like advice on alternative / ideas on this)
A winding / curving pathway from French door onto garden across diagonal of garden to nearly opposite corner (probs in same stone as patio)
In that corner either gravel or grass (advice needed) and arbour.
Part of garden is bordered by side of ugly garage - want 3 trellises to hide this and possibly beds / raised beds to plant in below these.
I?m a sun worshipper so areas of grass essential for sun lounging. Non-gardener so easy maintainance needed. I want quality over quantity so if some things have to be ditched, I?d rather do that than have something naff. That said, I need value for money.
I prefer informal gardens to straight lines and right angles (eg i prefer irregular patio stones /tile) . I like the country garden style & various heights and colour of shrubs. Hate decking.
Would like quote to include planting (shrubs, grasses and / or flowering plants) in one corner and climbing plants for trellis?. I would possibly find arbour myself, however, I would need it erecting.
Depending on overall cost, there?s also scope for adding a garden shed in the wrap around ?L? part of garden.
I?m pretty flexible and open to (good) ideas if within budget. I want to see what can be done / achieved based on my description and potential site visit.

Do NOT use these guys. A bunch of cowboys. Enough said. (Mind you, I’ve noticed they’ve only got 83% positive feedback to date. If someone doesn’t rate at least 98% then I’d certainly be wondering why the hell not)
