My garden is on a fairly steep but gradual slope downwards - there's nothing I can do about it!
I'm having an extension done and trying to think about ways to deal with this level change in terms of the transition between indoors and outdoors. One of the ideas I like is to have a kind of floating area outside the house (like in this picture) with steps down. However, while I think the 'terrace' in this picture is lovely, the garden is woeful!! I want much more of a feeling of the outside/inside transition being blurred than this - my extension is going to be modern, but in a softer way than this (green roof, cedar shingles).
Landscaping-wise, what should I put underneath a terrace like that? I think you can see that grass does not look very good. I am wondering about having a pool of very dark water over which the steps would pass but I'm worried whether it would just be too dark for this?
