I’m afraid the triangular shape of this garden has been flummoxing me – Pinterest provides very little inspiration for non-rectagular gardens!
I’ve been thinking of trying to break the space up using circles – like a semi circle patio and a circular lawn space – but I’m not sure if this is the way forward
Further details
– in South East Wales
– the garden faces north east, but it’s a corner plot and no big trees so there’s not much shadow from other houses
– currently a lumpy mishmash of lawn and shrubs, but whenever we dig we start to find old lumps of concrete (FML)
– must be dog friendly, and incorporate some lawn space for him
– we’d like some patio space
– planning to get professional landscape gardeners in for this – it’s just too big a job for us, for health reasons
– hoping to keep it to a £10k budget, with a little flexibility
– I’d like a herb garden – which will need to be raised to keep the boy dog out, as his personal plant watering efforts are incompatible with culinary use
– neither of us are big gardeners, so something that can be maintained with intermittent pruning and limited skill is probably what we’re looking for. Anything that requires a complex routine of precise pruning and a specific fertiliser is probably doomed. We’d be looking for perennials not annuals.
But plant choices can come later – it’s the layout that’s really doing my head in at the moment!
You might consider using garden arches and a mirror, to give the impression of a bigger garden beyond the arch. This could open up the points end of the garden visually.
Garden Rescue did an episode with a triangular garden. They put a gazebo facing back into the garden in the point of the triangle, and then filled the pointy bit behind the gazebo with a tiny woodland. Then lawn between the gazebo and the back patio of the house, with shrubbery borders.
I have basically this exact layout. I have a tree in the “point”, raised beds down the left side and a patio by the house. The rest is grass. Luckily I have a garage so don’t need a shed
Ours is like this the triangle point is the compost / dumping ground.
If you have 10k, maybe set some aside for a designer? They could give you many ideas on how to layout the space
We have two points! Both are used so that you can’t actually see the apex of the point which makes them look less awkward.
One is behind the house, and has shed at the point where it narrows right down, with access behind the shed to the compost bin, storage bins for garden furniture and a wheelbarrow.
The other point is down steps at the side of the house, on a steep slope. That’s our leaves/grass pile, behind a sort of false wall I built with planks, all painted to match the fence on either side. So to look at it from the house you can’t see the composting pile and it sort of looks like continuous fence.
We have flower beds running towards both points at both sides and I like that they aren’t parallel.
I have a similar shape, I used the tip of the garden as my wildspace as the reason it’s triangle is because that was the shape of the woodland. It has a pond and I’ve just sown some yellow rattle. We have trees comming in winter from the council which I’ll use to make a living wall and square off the garden.
I think bascally you want to book end each end. Where it narrows I wanted to create a secret tucked away place that is like another enviroment and when looking back towards the house you want to see an expansive show of flowers and veg.
[This is our state after first year](https://imgur.com/6lD1ZuB) here lot of work to do but if you imagine a wall of tall native hedge about where the plants on the right stop. Greenhouse where that chair is and hedging to cover my next door neighbors lack of effort you get an idea of where I want to be in a couple of years.
