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?

Your 'soak well' only holds 424 litres when full. What is your soil type? Soak wells need sandy soils. 10 9364 Need advice on the backyard plan above.
