The 'Before' Pictures of our Garden as it once was

I power washed my decking, taking off all the old layers of stain - it looks a hundred times better from my earlier photos, and now all i have to do is oil it each year.

I would be tempted to add some lighting and water to this garden to link with the gravel and decking a couple of specimen shrub beds with lots of tall grasses and do away with the lawn. Have you see those big silver water features some are large balls and some are vertical metal sheet both with water running over/down to keep the modern feel?
