4. Don't be afraid to get a little creative. In fact, save any pictures of cool garden ideas that you love and see if you can integrate them

5. Consider where you will need your paths. Paving slabs aren't hard to lay so don't try to avoid paths just because they look like they might be tricky!

6. Choose a style of seating that will complement and work within your garden space. Always look at the size of the area that you have to work with

8. A heat source will be vital, especially in UK gardens so whether you opt for a patio heater, chiminea or a fire pit, be sure to invest in one!

9. Your garden lighting can be as subtle and romantic, or bright and practical as you like. We always like fairy lights but you don't have to follow suit!

10. When it comes to privacy, garden fences are key but you don't have to buy something monolithic and stark, unless you want to! There are a host of styles to choose from, so find something that works perfectly with your design scheme

11. A final tip is to try and include something in your garden that will collect rainwater. Butts and containers are best and the water itself can then be used to nourish the garden
