Need help with small back garden

11 years ago

We have renovated a bungalow and need to finish off the garden. We have put bright white flags down (although need to jet wash because of new puppy chewing up the grass /soil) we have also replaced the fence. More flags to go down up to and around shed as we have just moved it. Need help with colour of shed / fence, planting scheme etc. I've attached pics looking out to garden to get idea of style inside. Thinking bamboo around fence?? I have grape vine I need to plant too.

I think an tree-ish brown for the fence and the shed will look good with the tiles in the backyard. A new grass or fake grass os also not bad, and if you have that there you can plant the vine tree in the middle.

I think you have done such a great job on the inside that as long as its neat and tidy, prospective buyers will be happy with the garden as it is !!!

@OnePlan .. what buyers ? They just moved in. :-) @Jillcon .. You might want to wait a few weeks, until the puppy is over his soil excavating and chewing fetish ! :-) Love what you've done inside !

Great choice of stone color. Assuming the shed is a Cedar shed, the color Jarrod Brown by Cabot Stain may look nice. You can look up colors on the paint manufacturer's website. Cabot Stain is a great stain as well as Sikkens which is made by Benjamin Moore. The links are http://www.cabotstain.com/colors-and-finishes/families/Clears-and-Translucents-Colors.html

and they do have testers. With all that bare grass there a pergola with louvered wall panels and possibly a retractable canopy would look really nice. The louvered panels will make it a private space away from prying eyes from the neighbors. Check out the Outdoor Living Today 12x16 Cedar Pergola http://www.outdoorlivingtoday.com/oltss/storefront/product_detail.php?pid=BZ1216WRCL and and for some fun for your children.... http://www.outdoorlivingtoday.com/oltss/storefront/product_detail.php?pid=LSP66SS ...Hope this helped!

Puppies (and full grown dogs) are no match for EasyTurf (www.easyturf.com). We are the #1 choice for pet owners because of our look, feel, durability and most importantly for pet owners DRAINAGE! When you think about all the time and money you'll save not having to water, fertilize and maintain your lawn, artificial turf seems like a pretty good option ...
Let me know what questions you have!

Update on back garden. Thanks or all your comments thinking of a pergola and possibly artificial grass because of paw prints on flags. With being in the UK have lots of rain therefore muddy paw prints. What o u think of colours??
