Water features - tranquil centrepiece or scummy leaf trough?
I haven't managed to do anything to my scorched earth mud patch this year, but now life is hopefully getting a touch less mental I'm hoping to progress things a bit.
I have a hankering for a water feature, in my mind's eye it would a strip trough adjacent to the patio and splitting that and the planting, with a little corten waterfall at one of the short ends. Our window will look on to it so I feel like it could add some visual interest, but we also have a huge oak (technically in my neighbours but we definitely get a lot of the leaves) so it would probably need covering every autumn. Might just be a flight of fancy that's not worth the hassle, but I'm building hard surfaces in other places so probably as a good a time as any to think about.
