    I'm looking for someone to do my garden.

    It's approximately 5m x 10 m. From top to bottom there's a slant of close to 1 metre. It's a bit of a mess at the moment so I'm looking for someone to do something nice to it.

    I'll probably be looking at putting 2 layers due to the slant.

    I have attached some picture of the garden as it is.

    If anyone has any recommendations then I'd love to hear from you.

    Thanks a lot

    Is the white concrete block thing anything that matters?

    Is it somewhere where children or animals will be going?

    What do you want to use the area for?

    Do you want to do any gardening afterwards?

    Do you need the shed?

    What part of it gets any sun?

    How do you get the bins out?

    Depending on answers to the above:

    Strip out absolutely everything including the shed, all the old paving and concrete.

    Put in raised beds down one side (including a back a couple of inches away from the fence). Pave the rest. If no children or animals put in a couple of areas of decorative pebbles to create some easy drainage. Include step(s) down to accommodate the slope.

    Put a shed (if needed) behind the tiled extension to the house (what is it? it seems very low).
