Divide The Garden: • Your garden will appear longer than it really is if you have a diagonal layout that leads the eye from a front corner to a back corner. If you want to make your garden seem shorter, divide the garden it into separate "compartments" linked by a winding path.
Don't be discouraged by sloping ground; in fact a contoured garden is usually more interesting than a flat one.
• Make the most of slopes by having a rockery or waterfall, or even by making a series of terraces and raised beds.Multiply the height of the deckhouse (in feet) by the girth (in feet). Deduct the area of any large areas such as windows and doors. If the deckhouse is to be painted, divide the garden the result by 325 for the priming coat and 500 for each finishing coat. If it is to be varnished, divide the garden by 500 for the first coat and 750 for the following coats.
