Hello everyone,

In the rental house (my mother is the owner), the hedge (a 2-meter (6.5 feet) tall, approximately 20-meter (65 feet) long monstrosity from the 1970s) was removed today. Now I'm wondering how to make this area attractive but cost-effective...

Maybe sow grass in the spring and create a visual screen towards the neighbor (on his side it’s behind the house, so no curious neighbors right at the fence)?

Does anyone have ideas on how to improve this space?

Thanks for your suggestions!

That’s how I imagined it too. However, I started smaller. A 120m (394 feet) hedge also costs money. There was only enough budget for a starting height of 30cm (12 inches).

That will take time. Check online in the stores; they often indicate how much growth to expect per year.

Yes, a beautiful garden. And not so bare, with proper vegetation. I like that. Karsten

Nordlys some gardens appear cold and sterile. I find those awful.

Me too. A garden is a piece of nature, and if you walk through a forest, you can see how messy nature really is. So a garden doesn’t have to look like a Lidl parking lot. Karsten

Oh wow, thank you... I really didn’t expect that given the rather dark snapshots taken without much sunlight [emoji4]
The paths and terrace are laid out quite straight, but with a truly rustic-modern natural stone.
When designing the garden, I was internally reluctant about the formality of modern gardens, which I tried to achieve to some extent with the copper beech hedge...
While I can tolerate these sterile gardens, as well as the Bauhaus style, I personally prefer a more natural look, so we decided to change course.
The fire bowl is actually supposed to be placed in a rock garden... I’m still working on that [emoji2]
