I don't have a garden, so here's a photo of my bonsai:-

Nice tree. I don't have a garden yet. I have a pebble area but currently designing some ideas.

Well done Jokester & others, great to see the 'Home & Garden' sub forum at last.
Was rather surprised to see it's inclusion, so long overdue.

I really like that mac. I need something similar but a bit simpler, on the one level maybe. Currently I have a lawn behind the house and a strip of lawn down the side but having a boxer pup he loves the garden but comes in filthy! Child on the way too hence the one level I'm thinking.
How much did something like that set you back if you don't mind me asking? Been a shame to get rod of the grass but it's just not practical.

Just after finishing it last year, a landscape consultant from work sketched me something up in 10 minutes.
There's a 3m deep full width deck against the house, hate decking but it's covering an old crazy paving patio I really couldn't be bothered wheel barrowing out the front

We had a similar problem with our dog coming in filthy and just chewing up the lawn. Went with the bark border easier to clean up after the dog. He always does his business in the same place on the bark.
Not much change out of £5000. Took 2 guys about 7 days. Indian Stone paving was about £1200. Price also included new fence in first pic. Quotes ranged from £3,500 to £5000.
For the worlds worst gardener its a dream

That looks excellent, any pics of the decking area?
Garden looks very similar size to mine and its next on the list for a full overhaul this summer!
Not much to see other than smooth and groovy decking from Alsford Timber, a log store for errr logs and a teak table and chair set.

FISHGUTS: Now that is impressive, tastefully done, the curve flowing walls are perfect, well designed & everything fits in well.

Means having to work at it!
It's not as bad as jet washing trust me I'm in the know on this one ha ha, just mix it up with a bit of water throw it on and give it a quick brush and leave it on for a few hour then rise it off, I always end up with a sore neck jet washing and mine is a good one so i get the job done quite fast, but depends on the size of the area

Don't know about Jeyes fulid killing grass, but it wouldn't surprise me, as it will kill algae & moss.
Some people say Jeyes fluid just about kills anything, but it does contain tar acid.
If you use the stuff, wear eye protection,etc.
