A small pond for birds, put some surface plants on the water. Then add vines and different plants along the brick wall. Then some solar powered lamps around, like the small pond. Then add a comfy bench. Comfy, even add some textile roof over the bench
Its kinda simple. Dig out a shape that you like, go a little deeper than you think you need. Then you put down some liner to prevent the water from going into the ground. It does not need to be perfect. Then you can cover that with small rocks, dirt, sand or whatever to hide the liner. I sometimes get visits from some friendly frogs and we chill. If you want to get more advanced you can make it two or more levels with a pump from the bottom and route it to the top to make a fountain or water fall.

>What kind of garden could you fit in here?
Not an expert but I suppose you should start by actually having some dirt there and not stone pavement and false grass
this, there is nothing more soul-less than perfectly square paver tiles, I see them all the time on new build and they're hideous
tear it all out, plant actual grass, then get organically shaped stone to make the path
leave about 2-3 inches of grass strip between each stone
We had less space than that and my wife gardened there shit out of it. Raised beds is probably the easiest. What do you mean by “type of garden” garden is a garden.
Bury the owners under the astroturf, then put the shed on top. To make sure. They need to increase housing taxes on idiots responsible for garbage like this.
I would make some roofing in the back so you can put a couch there. Then paint the walls white (also less heart) and grow some roses against the wall. Real grass. And make a border where I would grow some herbs like lavender.
What the actual frick could you possibly need a garden shed for when your ‘garden’ is a tiny patch of plastic fricking grass? What do you keep in there, your fricking lawn mower?
Is there even dirt underneath that crap, or is it just three feet of fricking builders rubble & garbage?

Not bad.
Anon look into espalier tree pruning and or columnar fruit trees.
What is the actual average size of an urban yard space in England? How much land are we talking about in square meters/feet? Also, it seems like older homes have rectangular yards, while newer ones have a notch torn out of a corner. Why is that?
Population density
And
Govt built terraced (you might call them townhouses) houses in repeating rows from like 1850 to 1980, with room at the back for a usable garden.
Today, private developers build housing estates with winding roads where the objective is to maximise saleable domestic sqft while abiding by policies.
Gardens are truly an afterthought in such places imho.
There is nothing that can be done to prevent this space from feeling like a cheap zoo enclosure. Christ, England is depressing. Imagine what your ancestors would think if you tried proudly show off your twenty square feet of land.
What's the shed even for if you're got nothing in the yard?
No grass so no mower. No string trimmer.
No bags of fertilizer or grass seed because no lawn.
No shovels or rakes because no dirt. Obviously don't garden.
What's in there? What's in the fricking shed!? Tools?? Why not keep them inside? You really have to walk all the way out to the shed to grab a hammer? Those belong in a storage closet inside or at least in a garage.
What's the shed for?!
Probably a washing line to go in that little orange slot in the astroturf, along with plastic garden furniture so you can sit and stare at the walls during the one week of nice weather we get.
What kind of sun does the area see? I'd put a raised garden bed against the brick about 12 inches off the ground. At the very back corner a small japanese maple or other decorative tree. Some rocks to walk on in front of the beds and maybe a bench on the left where the path is beside the shed.
>Put simple shed on right along well, use half-shed roof to direct water to a cistern barrell, use translucent corrugated plastic on roof and sides. Build shed on wheels or a sled so you can move it around easily. Put compost in a container at the bottom of the shed to produce heat year around. This is your starter and overwinter greenhouse. > Turn the shed in the back into a sauna.
1)Use the space for something hobby like. Lawn darts, workout equipment, something like that.
2)Plants. You've got room for planter boxes and the wall can act as thermal mass against cooler days.
3) Put something painted on the walls. If you're not art inclined flat colors or geometric designs you can plan out. Could also try and find someone local.
Dunno but I'd probably do something like bluestone pavers with grass growing in between, planters on the edges and maybe a few pieces of old school cast iron yard furniture. Or I'd make a table and some chairs out of whatever wood I could get my hands on for a decent price.
Depends on what you want to do in your garden, how much do you want to take care of if you want to at all. It is a relatively small place, but japanese gardens have very good designs for those.
If you don't go with particular styles, I would plant somethings at the wall, like Parthenocissus, that can climb up to the walls, and their leaves change colors with the seasons. I don't know how much budget you have but shed creates a very awkward space at the back and breaks the whole place visually. It would be nicer to have smaller trees or bamboo at the back, and nice bushes in front of them. In front of the bushes a sit-out/terrace would look good, but you have to sit down first and think through what you want to see from the window/door. Whatever you use, don't choose too many types of plants (they can feel messy), choosing about 4 maximum first is enough.
I don't know about gardens, but you have the most healthy lawn I've ever seen outside a golf green.
>healthy lawn
that's clearly astroturf.
Got eem
I fricking hate england. Seriously ya'lls pathetic excuse for backyards fill me with inconsolable rage. And then you call it a garden. Infuriating.
>ya'll
have a nice day twitter homosexual.
>anon discovers the south
it's exclusively used by urbanite millennials who picked it up on social media and want to seem hip and cool
do you even go outside
categorically no, and have a nice day, homosexual
literally yes and idc what you say. I'm right.

I assure you the south uses it and I assure you it still sounds moronic.
I assure you most who talk to you think you're a homosexual

WEEEEEELLLL I don't know bout none a that fancy city talk, bur we do thangs a little bit differently down chere in the south!
Planter box against wall/shed, fire pit in circle. Enjoy

Any advice for ponds? Not OP but I have a tiny yard and would love a semi natural water feature for birds and wildlife.

wtf is even the point of that shed? what a waste of space, I'd rather just have a bigger house at that point
it's not a shed it's his house
>it's his house
so, please verify this is wrong?
It's a cuckshed actually, perfect little gettaway for when Ahmed is visiting the wifey
Don't talk shit about my house.
so he wants to know where to put his shed in that garden?
Kek I'm a tourist came here to ask a few questions but you guys are all right, really enjoying this board so far
Wait for the next Hitler and his dehousing campaign against bri*ish suburbs. That shit is cursed.
That was a fun thread.

great thread
i love you
that was a great thread
that thread was 8 months ago? fricking hell
I'm already dead after reading the second reply
>What kind of garden could you fit in here?
Not an expert but I suppose you should start by actually having some dirt there and not stone pavement and false grass
Put a power rack in the middle of it
rocks and trees.
this, there is nothing more soul-less than perfectly square paver tiles, I see them all the time on new build and they're hideous
tear it all out, plant actual grass, then get organically shaped stone to make the path
leave about 2-3 inches of grass strip between each stone
sounds gay anon, its all about porcaline tiles and having that outside inside feel
good idea, re-route path up the middle, surrounded by plants, make it more "immersive"
to me, the thumbnail looks like big triceratops turds
We had less space than that and my wife gardened there shit out of it. Raised beds is probably the easiest. What do you mean by “type of garden” garden is a garden.
>How would PrepHole
Do I have this right? We need more starting information.
Plant a tree, in the hopes it will become an absolute nuisance to everyone living around you after 20 years.
Bury the owners under the astroturf, then put the shed on top. To make sure. They need to increase housing taxes on idiots responsible for garbage like this.
Build a bunker under the shed, and a tunnel to the house and garage.
Then more tunnels under other peoples yards.
You'll want some plants with shade tolerance.
I would make some roofing in the back so you can put a couch there. Then paint the walls white (also less heart) and grow some roses against the wall. Real grass. And make a border where I would grow some herbs like lavender.

Needs a higher wall
wow that's depressing. consider emigration or suicide, OP
get a fricking greenhouse already
that small garden is starting to piss me off
basically this
>the weed is so you dont have a nice day over having such a small garden
Anon could just glass over his whole yard.
Not bad.
Anon look into espalier tree pruning and or columnar fruit trees.
VR setup
Could use a bonsai bench too
This looks like catshit in a litter box
Imagine the cat shit after 2 weeks
Whats even the point of a garden if it looks like this. Might as well have nothing
What is the actual average size of an urban yard space in England? How much land are we talking about in square meters/feet? Also, it seems like older homes have rectangular yards, while newer ones have a notch torn out of a corner. Why is that?
16m2. The notch is because an enforcement corridor must be provided for every four units now.
>enforcement corridor
Is it to check your loicense?
Varies massively. Most newbuilds have tiny gardens. Old terraces/townhouses tend to have long, narrow gardens.
Population density
And
Govt built terraced (you might call them townhouses) houses in repeating rows from like 1850 to 1980, with room at the back for a usable garden.
Today, private developers build housing estates with winding roads where the objective is to maximise saleable domestic sqft while abiding by policies.
Gardens are truly an afterthought in such places imho.
Gardens attract too much crime to be included in modern estates.
Is this the fabled 'Deanobox' I've heard so much about?
Yes
These would go for £200-600k depending on size and location
There is nothing that can be done to prevent this space from feeling like a cheap zoo enclosure. Christ, England is depressing. Imagine what your ancestors would think if you tried proudly show off your twenty square feet of land.
the solid brick wall 'fences' just seem so dystopian
Peak soulless suburbia aesthetic
Why even have that shed? You don't even have to mow your fake grass
I think it's fine exactly the way it is.
What's the shed even for if you're got nothing in the yard?
No grass so no mower. No string trimmer.
No bags of fertilizer or grass seed because no lawn.
No shovels or rakes because no dirt. Obviously don't garden.

Literally do not have space for tools in most houses these days

Planter boxes around the wall. Get rid of astroturf.
1)Use the space for something hobby like. Lawn darts, workout equipment, something like that.
2)Plants. You've got room for planter boxes and the wall can act as thermal mass against cooler days.
3) Put something painted on the walls. If you're not art inclined flat colors or geometric designs you can plan out. Could also try and find someone local.
why is that shed so big for that small of a yard
Buy a gazebo. Make it the main destination for hangout.
Dunno but I'd probably do something like bluestone pavers with grass growing in between, planters on the edges and maybe a few pieces of old school cast iron yard furniture. Or I'd make a table and some chairs out of whatever wood I could get my hands on for a decent price.

It already has brick walls, quit pretending it's actually a yard and just build a roof over it to annex it as living space.
Can't do this as the lot already has the maximum building square footage allowed, as is usual for newer builds.
