Hello everyone,

attached is the picture of how the terrace will look. I want the connections between the terraces so you can walk through, and actually the terraces alone, as I would like them, are already so big that I basically only fill in a few corners. It is 68m2. Where the air pump stands and if a splash guard comes, a little less. BOTTOM LEFT is the parking spot for the garden house.

Is there anything to consider before the concrete comes? For example, I still have to lay cables so that I have electricity in the back garden later.

Just wanted to post the picture, I just created it online, the measurements are roughly like this and you can also see that there is enough garden left.

Best regards

I find it too plain and very uncharming. Paved over like our office parking lot. But it simply reflects the plain "I want it." I don't see any garden planning there. That this is the result of 25 pages is very disheartening.

So, I would like to have a flower bed integrated into the terrace, but I don't know exactly where it should go yet. I think it looks nice if I can plant geraniums there; it shouldn't be in the way, maybe somewhere on the main terrace. It's my house, of course what I want is what gets done. I am happy to listen to opposing opinions and critical remarks to question my plan, but I don't have to put them into practice. I have also read questions about terrace sizes in another construction forum; terraces of this size are standard, what people build is at least 40-45m2, which most users had, and I simply connected the dead corners. At the front of the terrace, two large tables should be set up and a narrow one in the middle across for a buffet. We are a very large family, so I think it's nice if I can put two tables for six people lengthwise and something in the middle where the buffet can be served. Then you need some space to walk past. On the side terrace, I want to set up my seating group with a small table. If I look at new housing developments, it is almost always built like this, so it doesn’t have to please everyone or be considered beautiful, but this negative attitude towards me is now indifferent because there are a bunch of people here whose taste at this point is clearly different from mine, and that has nothing to do with "I want." If I don’t pave the corners around the bay window, I am at 55m2. So, it is nothing unusual. The material will be stone slabs from Hornbach, which I just ordered.

Dead corners. Dead corners either occur naturally or you make them come alive. You simply have the attitude to trample many things to death. At some point, you will be able to reflect on yourself too. Not currently, though. You lack the insight for that. May you read this thread again in a year, when you are done, or in 10 years, and then you will see that everyone meant well with you. But you really drive everyone away. Dead corners don’t just happen; they are caused, and unfortunately, you are very good at that. Good advice: pay attention to your reality and family. Otherwise, you will sit alone on your 65sqm terrace.

Dead corners in gardens can be turned into living corners. There are plants for full sun to shade, endless ideas for pots, tubs, troughs.

We always work with buffet indoors. Buffets outdoors only work with insects if everything is in many closable containers, which everyone has to open/close, open/close, ...
Place standing tables in the middle of the garden where they fit.
Have you already tried family parties according to your idea?

Wow. NONE of our friends/acquaintances with houses have that, we with terraced houses not at all.

I also find the ratio of "sealed surface with house, terrace & co." to (smaller) plot size extremely negative. There is not much left for a garden area.
