    Hey all,


    we bought a house off plans, but we didn't notice until after closing the deal that the garden was "not aligned" (as picture shows), I know is a stupid thing but it really bothers me and the wife, just in terms of laws, architecture or even carpentry, is there any solution to minimize this?


    Thanks in advance

    If you mean it’s not a perfect rectangle it shouldn’t be a problem. Do you really want everything in straight lines.

    Once it is planted properly the boundary lines will disappear. A garden, no matter how small, should have some interesting shapes and curves. Use some taller foliage plants to distract the eye.

    When putting in a structure, patio or shed etc. line it up with one side and use planting to soften the line.

    yeah, we are not happy that is not a perfect rectangle, when we look from the upper bedroom window, it hurts the eyes hahaha


    I wish I could make a deal with my neighbour and we re-plant the fences haha

    Ask them. Maybe they're unhappy with the unshapely layout of their garden too....

    Build a fence as shown: your garden will be rectangular again.

    Put some tall evergreen shrubs on the blue and planter beds or more shrubs and/or climbing plants on the green, keeping it to straight line you'd otherwise want to have a fence at. It will look square and waste no space. Cover up a wall too.

    Don't renegotiate wall boundaries with your neighbor you're walking into legal territory.
