Ideas for outdoor areas, garden, garden landscaping - suggestions, tips?

Thank you,

Prairie garden, exactly what I want and I will not overlook the flower meadow either.

As a property boundary, I will adjust something with the neighbors after moving in, but it should be low-maintenance and space-saving. As a living property boundary, I find cemetery thuja very nice. Wall, I have to see (neighbors, available space, etc.). Our rear neighbors have filled in about one meter and of course the soil should be retained there; I think this is the best place to set up a raised bed for herbs and vegetables. The right side also offers space for a raised bed or greenhouse since there is more sun.

Nordlys, your planting rings look very appetizing. What kind of paving stones do you have? They are also nice; is it okay without edge stones like that?

Maria16, exactly. First the important things, the rest is done gradually. It also looks like there are too many paved areas. I need a path around the house 1.20 m to 1.50 m, on the right and left sides of the house wall I would then do 1.20 m, above and below 1.50 m. That way I still have a comfortable bending radius. (The corners not sharp-edged, but chamfered or rounded). The corners of the uncovered terrace (above) can also be removed.

Left side (gate + fence) 183 or 203 cm high, double wall sheets as roof (3-4 m deep), storage space for bicycles, lawn mower, etc. is realistic? Garbage bins outside the fence (bin box) or behind the tool room.

I have already commissioned the carport and tool room and they will be built last. Is a garden shed still necessary if I implement the above storage options?

I also don’t find the grass grid stones directly in front of the front door attractive but practical. I also don’t know how to loosen it up more there other than grass grid stones instead of paving stones. Maybe extend the upper corner of the perennial area parallel to the house wall diagonally to the front door and the lower corner to the left (like Maria16’s idea)? It will look something like this: (good-gartenbau)

Well, on the grid surface only gravel base and pebbles on top. Our pavement is 19 euros paving from the building materials store, it works well without a curb. We only walk on it, do not drive over it. I have to look for the name. Found it. Diephaus via patio, shell limestone imitation

Congratulations, the house looks good.

The contradiction in itself
And indeed the thuja do look more or less dead.

Well, only gravel subbase and pebbles on top on the grid area.

Gravel is not suitable for wheelchair users. I would actually create practical paths.

Thank you, from the outside it just looks finished, inside it is not yet alive ;-), electrically half-finished, the heating engineer will start next week and I have a lot to do in the outdoor area. Cemetery thuja, only if it is supposed to be a living hedge, otherwise my favorite would be double rod mats. Nordlys said gravel as a base for grass grid stones. Which I have planned as a second parking space in front of the house.

Double rod mats are terrible

Here in the settlement someone has set up a quite nice outdoor area and then double rod mats. The area no longer looks appealing

Thujas are poisonous by the way

Why not a hedge that blooms

Thank you for the hint,

"Thuja are toxic in all parts of the plant, poisoning can cause nausea, diarrhea, cramps, paralysis and in the worst case death in humans. The trees are also toxic to grazing animals, especially horses." (gartenakademie)

"flowering hedges" ... is somehow a matter of taste, I don't like that at all. Space-saving and low-maintenance are the most important things for me. They are initially just theory for me, let's see if I stick to this opinion until moving in.
