Terrace planning for a corner terraced house with a large garden - What to consider?

Thank you. Now I know that 150 - 200 sqm are considered "huge" in the OP's view.

We call that a chicken coop plot around here. It doesn't require any work. My beds alone are already bigger :cool::p;)

Our properties, @haydee, I also would not have put into this category. I would have classified them as "large" with moderate usability.

Everything that is bigger than Mr. Müller has is huge. A reassuring measure.

moderate usability is very accurate. Actually only moderate for everything with 2 legs. The rest gets along very well with it.

When planning, do not forget the roof/shading. I had a tent tarp for 20 years so that the sun can come in well in winter. However, putting away the furniture every year is annoying. Now I have a glass roof with [Unterspannmarkise]. The furniture stays put.

I also find that somewhat disrespectful again. Our townhouse plot was a total of 199 sqm, garage and house including "front garden" and a 3m terrace across the width of just under 6m deducted, only a small patch remained. We loved it and made it nice for ourselves. The pictures range from 2003 to 2014.

Maybe a little inspiration. Terrace 3x5.75 at the house and 3 x 4 wooden deck at the back right at the end of the garden. Over time, the beech hedge at the end of the garden also grew big. Planted at 50 cm, after 10 years it was taller than a man and opaque.

We didn’t have much to invest and gave the garden time. The fence was created by agreement with neighbors, the terrace and partition were included in the construction price. That also fit with the children growing up.
First, we planted piece by piece. Only bought the smallest plants. Later, it was about strategic thinning. A willow, which at planting was just an 80 cm high stem, I felled after 16 years. It had long since towered over the house and had a trunk diameter of almost 50 cm. Unfortunately, this tree was no longer neighborhood-compatible. In between, we fought against the box tree moth. The buyers of the house kept the basic structure and cut back the wild growth again.

No, Ruhrpott speech. And as an addition, a winking smiley. That's just how people talk here. It comes from the time when in the mining and steelworkers' settlements there actually was the chicken coop as well as the vegetable patch in the garden waiting.
It also doesn't mean that you can't make it nice. It just means that it is really small and involves little effort. Different from how the OP perceives it.

That was how it was for me in the first semi-detached house I lived in myself (also only a little over 200 sqm with garage, front garden, and house) at the start of the gardening work. Then a garden shed still fit in the corner. Plus a buried sandbox and a trampoline. We never felt cramped. Only with 1,000 sqm garden do you realize what else you could do (but don't have to). The better is always the enemy of the good.
