Triangle shaped gardens?

we have a garden that is a right angled triangle in shape...due to us being on a corner plot. I would like to do a complete garden makeover but am having difficulty in finding a design that is this shape. Can anyone give me some help please?

Triangle shaped gardens?
i have the exact same problem. what i did myself is put a garage up with a carport on the front of it which now has ivy growing all over it and looks superb. the rest of the garden was slabbed off completely with 1 metre of raised beds made from sand stone left all the way around the edges of my garden which now have ever green plants in so that it looks good all year round. at the back of my garden behind the garage i decked the whole space which is the worst of the triangle the size is about 7x7x8 metres and this is raised by 10 inch's from the slabs. hope this gives yo some idea with the dreaded corner plots.
Reply:I myself have a triangular garden and what i did was to put a bamboo at the furthest point so as to remove the pointy aspect of the garden ,the bamboo grows rapidly and looks lovely.At the front of the bamboo i put a water feature and planted lillies and other shrubs,the area covered in bark and enclosed by log roll edging.Down one length of the triangle i gravelled and slabbed for a seating area and built a stone bbq, and the other side i planted again with trellis plants to the walls.In the centre i had a lawned area and towards the house i decked.
Reply:the best way of dealing with a triangle shaped garden is,curve all the areas to take the straight angles away.its the only real way of fixing the problem
Reply:Put a nice seating area in one of the corners - you could lay gravel or decking. This would make the rest of your garden a more rectangular shape which would be easier to work with. A triangular garden would be interesting - it would certainly stand out from your neighbours.
Reply:we have a triangle shaped garden in the bottom corner (pointed bit) we have a pond which we fenced off due to grandkids visiting then a lawn and flower beds.
Reply:The corners are a complete loss, so you should plant some tree in them, to put height to the garden, and then try to reduce the impact of the space, by creating a circle or ellipse in the middle. If you obscure the edges of the circle from the house, with shrubs, or a feature wall, then the garden will seem wider, and for fun you could put a plastic mirror behind a wooden arch along the hypotenuse of the triangle to create the illusion of another space beyond. You will need to cover the arch in some flowering climber, honey suckle and Clematis are good together, or a rambling rose.



If you have kids, make the shape in the centre from soft bark chippings, and have a play area. If you don,t put in a pond with stepping stones across it, to reflect the garden new height, the trees in the far corner.



If you party, lay the shape out as an informal gravel and stone patio, and build a barbeque to the edge oposite the diagional to draw away the eye from the narrowing garden fence.



If you like to sun bath then just lay a lawn down, with nice big banks of flowers to disguise the shape beyond.



I myself, built two chinese round arches, (you have to build in pairs = ying %26amp; Yang) when I had a cheese wedge shaped garden at the last house. One 6 foot high wall divided the patio from the rest of the garden, the other went allong the long wall, and had a huge plastic mirror behind. The garden was full of shrubs, japanes maples, and had a sunken garden with a small ornamental pond fed from a long trench or water which ran allong the edge of the patio. entry was over one stepping stone, and the water then flowed down the sides of the steps into the sunken garden. It was in purple slate and creamy grey rendered walls, with black roman tiles, varnished to look like the chinese ones, and I had a three foot Terracotta warrior in the awkward corner, underneath a Davidi tree (which only started to flower after ten years when we were selling the place) and a skyrocket cherry tree in the point.



starting from scratch again now, laid the patio and hard landscape, but have to finish kitchen off over the winter.
