Tips to make garden look wider

We have someone working on part of our garden , clearing years of weeds and dead tree stumps. As he is working his way down it looks wider. Area is approximately 120' long by 30'max width. Bearing in mind it is a fairly blank canvas apart from the odd shrub and we already have a functional garden nearer the house with patio and grass, separated by a fence at the moment from the area beign worked on, are there any tips to visually try and make it seem wider. Is it worth segmenting the new part so that, say, the bottom third is a play area designated in a different ground finish to rest. Not sure if curves of path/beds/features would be better than straight lines across iyswim

still worries that OP could end up with a very wide looking garden if she/he unleashes the full arsenal of MN suggestions.

shiney - you are very funny reading some of the earlier posts

pmsl . Acaully it does have a natural "waist" where the level drops a couple of feet - accentuate or level over ?

Bravo.

I heart you.

Definitely accentuate the waist!

I have coincidentally just started my own thread in gardening.

Thanks for inspiring me.

But ladies, I actually need some PROPER help!

Actually, am pretty sure I've pootled over here in the past when we were having ishoos with and Urban Fox Family.
