Hi Jowotto,

Thanks for your question. For this type of question, I'd always recommend a garden design consultation at the least or full redesign given you're at the very beginning of design. There are so many variables such as what theme you would like, what soil type you have, conditions, functions needed in the garden etc. It would be foolish for me to try and give any suggestions as I don't have enough information to do so, also see the disclaimer at the top of this post about full design questions too. 😉

Without pictures, this is almost impossible to properly advise on. However, I do have some handy guides below which may help you get a better idea of what you want and then if you fancy it you can book an online garden design consultation with me here.

Here's my post on dog friendly garden ideas.

Happy gardening!
