Hi

I am starting a garden in a new build house, the main part of the
garden measures approx 11M deep X 17M long. This garden is in a windy
seaside location, I have currently laid the whole garden to lawn with
the intention of "carving it up" with some sort of design next spring.

Not what you are asking i know, bur when you come to carve it up: Design the
shape of the lawn and plant the bits that are left, nit designt the shape of
the beds. Reason? The only shape you will see when all is planted is the
open space of the lawn the bed shapes re irrelevant.

So far I have collected a number of plants in pots, shrubs, conifers
heathers etc. These I have been placing at various points on the lawn
trying to get a feel what the effect might be.

Part of the objective is to get some nice views from the large lounge
patio doors, screening garage, shed etc.
