This plan was originally drawn up for an area with a width of 15.5 m and a length of 20 m from the house (on the left) to the boundary, but it can easily be adapted to accommodate sites of different dimensions. The driving force behind the design is a seating area with a diagonal placement in relation to the house.

If you wish to create a garden with a relatively formal style, then a symmetrical layout is a good starting point. The degree of formality can be increased by continuing the symmetry in the planting and by using architectural plants, topiary and clipped hedges.
