We have a small rear garden area which is mostly occupied by an 8x6 shed
which sits on a crookedly angled, but solid slab base. It’s not very
nice as you can see in the photo! We originally had turf around the
shed, but it was in a poor state and was often waterlogged and just
looked patchy, muddy and messy. We have now skimmed off the turf,
compacted the soil and put down a weed proof lining and covered the area
with gravel. We have left an ‘L’ shaped border around the front of the
shed and alongside the fence, the width of (fairly wide I think) which
is in line with the last paving slab in front of the French doors. We
were thinking of planting some border plants in there that will
hopefully cover up the slabs under the shed and disguise the crooked
angle of the shed base. We are total novices and just want to make the
garden look neat and tidy, but with some nice border plants. We were
also thinking of putting some potted plants on the gravel. We always
have nice summer hanging baskets on wall brackets with troughs hanging
off front of the front of the shed. These look great in summer, but
after this the garden looks bare. Any help much appreciated!
