Thank you. :) Please excuse the late reply, I was, rightly, banned for a few days. Unfortunately, I repeatedly made the same mistake and I am very grateful to the moderation that I was not completely banned. I need to practice sometimes responding less impulsively and more thoughtfully ... this is also a good exercise for the rest of life.
Main terrace, meaning the one approved by the building application, the official seating area, is mostly at the house.
I wanted to temporarily deviate from the approved main terrace because at the time it was drawn into the plan, we had not yet thought about the outdoor area. I was also not aware that terraces are subject to approval if they lie within the building envelope, which is why I/we did not attach any importance to that.
I also thought of a pavilion at Pinkiponk. Also beds with putti... ;)
Under the pavilion in the carport area, I wanted to park the car, for my husband's sake. The forum dissuaded me from this tasteless idea. During my ban, it turned out that we will build a garage. As soon as I have pasted it into my plan and the forum’s suggestions have been incorporated into my plan, I will present it here in this thread (not a new thread, ;-) dear ).
Beds with putti, hmm, charming but borderline in taste. ;-) What I definitely want is one of those stone towers that look like the stones were randomly stacked and everything could collapse at any moment ... they always make me laugh when I see them somewhere. I want to set up such a stone tower in the front garden because I think it might bring joy to the neighborhood children ... we will see if they often poke it, hoping it will fall over. ;-)
I don’t see an alternative, but who should it bother there? There will be a hedge there and the neighbor also only has his carport there. You just have to differentiate a bit: approved terraces and those that arise from the garden design.
You really know the situation very well. Thank you for your precise and helpful view.
But not Lenze? I thought you were a bit younger now ;):D
I am. :)
Then I didn’t like it anymore… it had also saved automatically so that I couldn’t correct many things anymore. When drawing, I actually thought more of lawn paths between beds and flower meadows… I’ll make it available to you:
Wow, that is a great design. I have to print it out right away and transfer it to my plan. Thanks for that, you really have excellent ideas.
I’ll admit, I’m difficult. I would never allow my neighbor a terrace in the border area.
I understand you if the terrace is recognizable as a terrace and used as a terrace. In my case, I just stand there with a tea or a glass of wine and "look". If we lay out a "circular path" that is paved, then I just stand on the circular path.
Especially with the outdoor area, you can afford the luxury of letting everything grow gradually. No one forces you to have the garden made "ready to move in" by a garden and landscaping expert. Especially garden beginners first have to learn what they can and want can test if wish and reality match.
We bought the last free lot in a "new development area" that was developed about 15 years ago, so all gardens are very nice and well-kept, each garden in its own way. I don’t want to stand out negatively there. It is unpleasant when signs of neglect become visible in an otherwise well-maintained area.
Why not? If in doubt, you may be able to prevent paving there, but not that they sit there.
You’re right. I can also well imagine sitting in the grass there sometimes. It’s "actually" more an exit for kitchen work breaks or a little glass of sparkling wine in between.
On the one hand, I would be uncertain whether tolerating a terrace could, in the long term, force a distance acceptance on my property.
I didn’t understand this "regulation" in the thread of another forum member and wanted to look it up. Also because our neighbors illegally built two driveways and another carport on our side. I don’t know if that has an influence on our distance acceptance. However, the second driveway and additional carport were not approved. Do you know if the enforcement of distance acceptances can also apply if neighbors build something without approval?
... maybe this is an inspiration
These photos are really beautiful and stimulate my imagination. I may be able to implement one or another detail in our garden and will then post photos here. Thanks for this insight into a wonderful dream garden. :)
I once had over 40 roses, but because of the heat, I don’t feel like it anymore. They bloom amazingly in spring for a month, again for 3 weeks in autumn, and in between they suffer. And you have to fertilize, fertilize, spray, etc., and I don’t feel like that anymore.
I regret that you gave up your rose garden, I understand it the way you describe it, but it’s okay. I want to start with a few roses, all in yellow and pink colors, and see how it develops.
At the end, once again my apologies to those who did not read my entire post that I reply so late due to the ban mentioned at the beginning, which was justified and understandable.
