Some idea of the type of garden you want may already be beginning to form in your mind. Before you start to translate your thoughts on to paper, make a rough but accurate survey of the garden.
Your garden may, on the other hand, look out on to eyesores which you want to block from sight. The immediate instinct may he to put up a harrier on the site boundary, but foreground planting can often be more effective and, being closer to the eye, will screen a wider area. The right for a barbecue. Or you could keep only main ceiling braces to serve as a frame climbing plants. The same idea can also used with an old greenhouse or co vatory from which glass has gone.
Garden design can hold the eye within the garden making a total barrier unnecessary because eyesores will simply be ignored in favour of the greater visual attraction. The problem may be less what you see as you look out, as who sees you when they look in.
One way to ensure privacy is to make a pergola to sit under, or even string wires across the width of the garden to create a real outside room. Attractive plants, such as vines or clematis, can be grown over wire or a pergola. Planting will also muffle the sound of noisy neighbours.
Other factors to think about when planning the terrace include the position of a barbecue if you want one, just where you sit to eat out, and whether the furniture will be built-in or free-standing.
Any curve you may conceive on paper will foreshorten in reality, as the eye runs from directly above it to being at the side. To explore and check this, put your eye down to paper level to get the feel of what the design will actually look like on the ground. The path's curve will always seem more extreme in three-dimensional reality than when drawn on paper
