Surburban Garden Ideas

[Buckley]

So Spotlight sages - what colour would you paint that back wall? And raised decking there, perhaps with a railing, or something else?

How about some really tasteful street art?

Get some fruit trees/bushes and herbs in it. Once planted, they pretty much look after themselves and it's good to get grub straight from the garden. 8)

I quite like that idea but as it'll be visible from both neighbours, I'm not sure if it's too different to the surrounding area

[vodka jon]

sorry i mean area of brickwork rather that the area you live in!

sounded a bit too 'location, location, location' on reading back

Having given more thought to this, personally I would get a really good paint job of the Pink Floyd's wall, with the place protruding. As you appear to want to be remain on speaking terms with the neighbors, nothing looks nicer than climbing roses through the summer. planted now, would be covering the wall by next year.

I would whack a trellis up and get a mixture of climbers going

or

these guys may have a solution that suits

Just add booze+good weather

White wash the wall. Get yourself some hooks to put into the wall. Then some hanging pots to plants herbs in. They can be taken inside for the winter. Here is a DIY web site.

not sure if its a look you want but I painted my brick walls an antique cream and put up mirrors and picture frames at random places and grew plants around them - the mirrors reflect the garden back at you and really make the garden look so much deeper...

Still everyone's taste is different and you might think mine sounds **** - I love it tho 8)

If I ever have a place with a big back yard... *sighs*

I'd settle for a kegerator though!
