Once one knows how the garden is going to work and where paths/patios/seating areas are going to be, it is possible to step away at this stage for at least 48 hours giving a chance to re-assess the design.
With fresh eyes it is a good idea to walk through the garden at different times of the day and see how the design will feel when built; if one is happy after the re-assessment, the next stage is questioning.
Where are your paths going?
What is your gardening style?
Is scale and proportion right?Consider the following
*Does the design feel balanced? *Is the design overcomplicated and bitty? Simplicity is the key to great design. *Is the patio large enough for purpose? How many people will use it and if having chairs/tables, is there enough room to easily access the space comfortably with chairs pulled out? Is it overlooked and how will you achieve screening? *Are you in full-sun and what methods will be implemented for shade? *Paths leading to different areas – have you considered the amount of traffic and whether planting will narrow them? Are they too large or too small? *How will the design look from the windows in the home? *Are borders large enough for the planting to be interesting?
