If you dont need to then you'd get the same look with only say 1.2 or 1.5m wide of deck. Or 900mm even will give you a splash of warm timber between the garden and your patio. That said plants filling the whole space will look terrific as well Re: Landscape design - KDR (sekisui house ) Burbank - ST Geo 34Jan 27, 2017 9:19 pm cat_dunc Were you going to use the 3m of deck for furniture?

That said plants filling the whole space will look terrific as well The reason we plan to have deck is ... to be able to access into the garden from the lounge room. As there is around 50cm - 70 cm drop from the sliding door to the garden outside. So we need to have decking to step out. otherwise we have to use kitchen's sliding door just to access into garden. But after seeing the actual distance from alfresco to out door living...and by adding 3 meters deck... I feel main house area is encroaching into the outdoor living area. I feel out door living area needs its own space. The empty space in between must show element of strong structure...such as a large tree, large fish pond...a statement room claiming this is my space. So I think has to be green patch of garden from alfresco area to out door living area. I will still need to have small decking to step out from lounge room.

- taken out decking from lounge to alfresco - location of path from alfresco to out door living same as original plan but now longer - deck outside of lounge 1.5 meters - steps for deck longer - large tree to divide alfresco and out door living area. - any advice? I think design 1 will give more ground space Build Thread : viewtopic.php?f=31&t=81624 Landscape Thread : viewtopic.php?f=19&t=86133 Re: Landscape design - KDR (sekisui house ) Burbank - ST Geo 37Jan 28, 2017 9:38 am I vote 1! Would you consider continuing the deck along in front of alfresco just to in line with the path, then you step down from the deck onto the path? You might find it handy walking from alfresco to lounge door via the deck without needing to step on the pavers or garden? Re: Landscape design - KDR (sekisui house ) Burbank - ST Geo 39Mar 29, 2017 8:31 am I like this for the space between alfresco and outdoor living.

As for croton plants simple cutting regularly will keep shape and xanadu never need any trim apart from pulling out yellowish leafs.
