natural shading by plants

55€/sqm

We have now made a decision. There will be shading from maple trees around the wooden deck (marked in red). The slope or dense planting in the south will be removed, as well as this seating block by the wooden deck.

Very nice idea and a very, very beautiful garden concept as a whole. May I ask if you made this drawing yourself, or if you received it / had it made by the landscape gardener?

My dream would be to plant a full-grown weeping willow in the garden, but in terms of mess they are comparable to the birch

If it really is your dream, I would think it over. Freely adapted from Marie Kondo: Surround yourself with things that bring you joy.
I almost bought a standard sink because it is easier to maintain than the solid, oiled oak countertop in the bathroom. But then I decided, why would I give up something important to me just because it requires more effort, and when has being lazy ever made me happy?
It doesn’t have to apply to you/all of you, but I always have to be careful not to deny myself the things that are really important to me for the wrong reasons.

thank you
The architect drew that from the landscape gardener. I would never have thought of placing the access to the front door on the side and positioning the wooden deck diagonally at the corner of the house.

when has laziness ever made me happy?

I really like this sentence.

Here in Perth, mulberry trees are widespread, and we initially wanted to plant one in the middle of the garden. But if you step on the fruit, you get the mess everywhere.
