Planning outdoor area - positioning the terrace

Oh, I misread. I understood "fluctuations" as the price for everything...

that would be nice, yes

Would you rather make the terrace area in front of the house (bottom of the plan) out of wood or as shown in the plan?
Is it wiser not to make the area where the dining table is and where things might occasionally fall out of wood?

My plan would be not to plant too heavily on the south side and to create a privacy screen only with grasses combined with posts. I need the privacy screen on the west side and around the corner towards the north.

However, grasses do not provide year-round privacy and need to be cut back in spring, and depending on the number of plants, you have to haul away the green waste with a trailer. So I would think beforehand about how much desire and time you have for the garden; there are many plants that are low-maintenance but also just the opposite. Fruit trees usually grow very large and don't really fit if you want a "show lawn" underneath. With cherry trees, you end up with the entire lawn covered with fallen cherries, roots, and bees near the ground; it's better to plant them in a larger natural garden. If you design the garden yourself or partially yourself, then you can determine all that step by step, gather ideas, and plant exactly what you want and what fits the planned time commitment.

The privacy screen along the southern boundary is not that important to me. Of course, we will do thorough research on which trees and plants are suitable for us. Do you think the main terrace (wooden deck) looks silly if a louvered roof is installed above it?

Milestones and an oversized raised bed are natural consequences of a garden landscaper receiving too few specifications.

No, why?
Of course, I wouldn’t make it exactly the same size as the base area, because then it looks a bit stiff and reminds one of a canopy bed.

Of course that will fit, why not? However, planning the raised bed to be that wide doesn't make sense, how are you supposed to reach the side without climbing onto the bed? I would still cover the seating blocks with wood, otherwise they get too hot and are very cold in cooler weather. Around all the blocks and beds, I would plan stone edges so that you can easily mow the lawn later and don't have to work extra with the edge trimmer everywhere.
