Garden Problems... And This Is How They Solved! Part 2

Here are some problems that usually happen on garden's construction... and this is how they solved:

7. An unattractive view of a huge area of a neighbor's wall
The pergola over the sitting area was constructed to hide some of the wall and rising the terrace also helped.

8. Want to have a water feature but was concerned about the safety of the baby or little children
A raised brick edge water feature with a shallow layer of of pebbles and a low geyser could be constructed. The height makes it safe for small children.

9. A downward slope from the end of the garden towards the house
A raised patio was formed above the slope.

10. An ugly fence at the end of the garden
Raised beds in front of the fence hide it and also easy to maintain.

11. The shape of the rectangular are of paving next to the house is harsh
The terrace was curved to improve the shape, creating a path between the house and the shed.

12. A large tree from next door over hangs the bottom of the garden
A summer house was placed in this area as little would grow in this light.

13. A side alley with uninteresting views of the neighboring houses
Two wide wire arches were planted with the climbers clematis sweet pea and a trachelospermum to conceal the view.
