What can I do with my tiny garden

Please can you help me revamp my tiny garden on the cheap.

It's currently all paved, but badly so weeds pop up between the slabs. Some of the gaps are quite big.

It faces north so in winter the part nearest the house doesn't get any sun at all. In summer it gets it in the morning. It does get nice sun towards the back and is pretty sheltered.

The flower beds are crap and a weird shape. Pretty sure there is lots of cat poo in them too. I would like to get rid of them and get some large raised beds or large planters.

The walls are painted concrete blocks which look flakey.

I have a baby and I'd love her to be able to play out there safely in the summer when she can crawl and walk. Currently I don't feel keen. I was wondering about putting some fake grass down, but is it very expensive?

Any advice or tips would be really appreciated.

I have a tiny north facing garden with slabs. Being north and small is always overshadowed so grass and most plants die over the winter.

You need to deal with it as if it was a “terrace” rather than a “garden” and there is nothing wrong with that, you can get some inspiration from here

Ah, you are already at it! Good effort! 👏
