What can we do with this neglected corner?

[ChipInTheSugar]

Any advice? I did have an idea today to turn it into a massive rockery but on second thoughts, I'm not sure the existing brickwork would support the weight ....

Any ideas what else we could do?

How much sun does it get?

It's quite overshadowed by neighbours' trees - I would say it faces West-south-west, so whilst not completely in shade, it's not anything like in full sun.

I'd give it a "courtyard garden" vibe. Big post with hostas , lavendars etc, a nice bench.

Ach, pots not post. X post too!

I agree, bench and big pots!

I would clean up and weed the cracks then have pots with shady climbers up the back wall, lots of different eclectic pots and a little table and a chair on the bottom bit.

Hot tub!

Oo, yes, you could create a kind of Moroccan garden area.

As others have said, also Cordyline’s in pots and training plants. Solar lights for an intimate evening seating place.

Can you build it up and make it a seating area? Lavender loots sound lovely also

Another chiming in to say clean it up, add a few pots of hostas and a comfy bench or chair.

Scrub it really well with a solution of soda crystals.
I'd stick little plugs of ground cover stuff in the cracks which will spread and look pretty.
Then like the others I'd go for pots, nice bright colours with zingy grasses, hostas. cover the tops with coloured gravel to match the ground cover.

Thanks for the suggestion of soda crystals! Lots of ideas forming now 👍🏼

The neglected area is on the left behind the garage.
