So I just wanted to share my progress on my new build garden. It's our first go at any sort of garden design, and I'm proud of what we have achieved so far. The space had a bit of an inline towards the back so the idea was to put a terrace in for herbs, and a small patio at the top which gets the most sun, whilst having a small bit of lawn space and as much of a border as possible!
The steps up to the top were inspired by the southwest coastpath, as we live nearby so I'm waiting on the Heather's to grow up and start matting, as well as a few alpines in the top of the terrace.
Can anyone recommend some good plants cor the border to provide a bit or privacy from our neighbors to the right?
Thanks for looking 🙂

No recommendations from me but just wanted to say that it looks fantastic!
I like how you’ve worked with the incline and made it a feature, the windy grass path is really cool too
I really like your design, particularly with the curved path and different areas. It is so much more interesting than a standard ‘grass with borders’ layout, and makes the garden seem bigger.
No suggestions sorry, but a fantastic design which makes a smaller space far more interesting and engaging! Very well done!
That looks really nice, I love when people make use of vertical space in a garden. For a plant to give privacy my personal choice would be a clumping bamboo such as Fargesia robusta ‘Campbell’ but I know they aren’t to everyones taste.
Some Aubretia could look really nice cascading over the wall as well.
