I have a average back garden around 30 foot by 30 foot,I would like to landscape around the sides bottom part and two sides.
What plants would you advise for all season,just overall any tips i would want to do it myself thanks xxxx
Its sunny i live in the city liverpool,and would like it to look nice and maybe hide my fencing xxx
I agree with above, don't bother with grass and especially if you had planned on a tiny border garden around the perimeter. Anything less than a meter deep is too narrow and actually 2 meters is better.
I know cheap is the first rule, so scrounge around for plants. Garden clubs often have plant sales, car boot sales sometimes have plants, ask around when people are working their garden and have extra plants. The trees and shrubs you can purchase in smaller sizes.....they grow.
Paving or stone might be from construction sites with broken concrete, some people are willing to "sell" you their stone or gravel if you'll haul it away.
I'd create a nice terrace/patio or some type sitting area in the "middle" either of stone or pavers and then plant the rest small ornamental tree or two, moderate size shrubs, some evergreen some flowering deciduous, some small plants around the sitting area...herbs were a lovely idea, maybe a trellis/pergola marking the entry to the garden with a wonderful rose or clematis growing over the top, and maybe a nice small water feature beside the sitting area. By focusing your attention to the middle of your garden, you won't notice that back wall.

I'm looking for a landscape gardener, for excavation & clearence work, laying scaplings for a driveway, & path approx 100ft by 60ft. Are you based near Selsey in West Sussex ?
I'd like to create a white themed garden that looks pretty at night and will blend in my back yard corner area. I know that the moonflower is a good choice for a running vine. Are there any white flowering evergreen shrubs or other choices I can choose from also? I think that white is elegant and relaxful for a garden setting.
Not only should you consider white flowers for a white garden but the pale colors or pale pink, light lavender, lilac, and pale yellow as well. These color just pop when twilight begins, especially pale lavender, something about light wavelengths and theirs being long, I think.
Some great flowers are impatients, they come in white but also light shades of lilac and pink and petunias also in those colors.
For next year you might want to add white triumphator tulips.
There are also white cone flowers, white roses (alba rugosa and Ice berg), lambsear (gray-green foliage with pale pink flowers), hosta plantaginea (has a large trumpet shaped flower that smells of gardenia), Annabell hydrangea, nicotiana Only the Lonely (flower smells of gardenia and opens at night), Other white plants, White Profusion butterfly bush, phlox 'David', the near white daylily Joan Senior, white variegated hosta, Casa Blanca Oriental lily, Peacock Gladiola, regular white gladiola, white delphinium, Muscadet Oriental lily, nigella African bride, and white Sonata (a short one!) cosmos.
Many trumpet shaped flowers will attract the night-active hummingbird moths and hawk moths, which feed at dusk and are amazing to watch, very much like hummingbirds themselves. They are insect the size of a small hummingbird.
A grey, white and pale yellow garden would be wonderful.

There are many, many pieces of design software on the market today. From professional versoins costing thousands of dollars to free versions. So I think the best thing to do is give you a couple of links and chech out the free software from google.

...Outsourcing banner design for your website: Landscape and garden ...
Regular visitors to Landscape Juice will have noticed a few strange goings on in the last few days as things appear and then disappear again.
I have decided to have a little bit of an autumn refresh and one of the tasks was a slight redesign of the banner image.
It's not that I was unhappy with the original image but more of a case of wanting to draw on the strength of the Landscape Juice brand and bind it firmly to the Landscape Juice Network by welding the two sites together.
The original banner design was created using one of Brian Valentine's images. I remember seeing Brian's work featured on a website a couple of years ago and instantly, I became a fan - here is the image that went into the banner.
Having been told about the service from Elance, that lets you post up a design job and get offers from individuals and companies who are interested in working for you, I decided to give it a try.
In my case the requirements were fairly simple and I had the design already laid out and I needed someone to knock it into shape with colour gradients etc.
