Browse Forums Landscape & Garden Design 1 Jun 04, 2016 9:54 pm This is our new place - we move in at the end of the month! The backyard is tiny, flat, and pretty much all turf except or a few rocks down the sides at the moment. I really have no idea where to start with landscaping as we have only rented previously so weren't able to alter any landscaping/gardens ...so this is all new eek! I know I want to do *something* with it, just no idea what as yet. The kids want a trampoline (which I love for practicality, but in terms of landscaping they are usually a bit of an eyesore) so I would love some ideas of how to integrate a trampoline into the backyard nicely? We won't be able to make it a sunken trampoline so that's out unfortunately. Please share pics if you have one in your backyard though and have still managed to make it all look lovely! I am attempting to attach some pics of the backyard as it is now so you can see what I'm working with. Any ideas/advice welcome! Please let me know if the pics work?
