Japanese Maples Roses Region: United Kingdom
Our garden is quite small it's about 85ft long, more than half of it is only 18ft wide as we've a garage and a shed behind it on one side.. The rest is about 30 ft wide, but we've a summer house in the bottom corner.

This is the view from the French windows in our lounge. I designed and built the garden so that it could be enjoyed by my wife who has MS and her mobility progressively got less, to the extent she rarely leaves the house but she has this view from her chair in the lounge.
The furthest patio was formerly a 3000 gallon five foot deep koi pool, I built in 1986, but it started to leak four years ago, so I got a firm to fill it in and pave over it. The only job in the garden I didn't do myself, (I was 79 then, so had the sense not to do it. It took four men five days).

It has several features that only reveal themselves as you walk down towards the bottom.
You can see them in this video.

The summerhouse hides another of my interests.
