Thanks. I like the garden as well, just want to clean it up a bit and make it more useable. I didn’t mention but the bit you have drawn on is currently planted and means access to the beds at the top is annoying and people end up walking over it etc. That’s one of the reasons for the bricks going all round the beds.
The plan is actually to have a Japanese acer and some other trees/grasses in pots on the bricks creating a bit of separation. Also moving the apple tree (which I pruned a few weeks ago) from the back left corner to halfway down the right hand side where the border meets the bricks. But I hid those to make sketch up run faster and forgot to turn them back on!
Re the pergola, I know what you mean, the sun is more on the left hand side than the back wall, especially with the shed casting a shadow. That was the reason for having the seating protruding, so you have the feeling/look of structure without overpowering everything.
