Stylish Courtyard Garden Layout

Design Brief

Photorealistic, publication-ready concept for a relaxed courtyard-style garden approximately 3m x 4.8m, facing south-west. Create a practical, welcoming layout that prioritises a comfortable seating area for relaxing, while maintaining a clear, convenient route to the garage door. Include a small durable grass area suitable for a dog, planted borders with attractive low-maintenance greenery and seasonal interest, and a discreet location for a removable washing unit that can be erected and taken down when not in use. Use a warm, informal courtyard character with natural paving, softened edges, believable planting, and a balanced mix of hardscape and greenery. Show realistic daylight, natural perspective, uncluttered design-focused composition, and no people or pets. Negative constraints: text, watermark, logo, labels, overlays, diagrams, infographics, extra openings, incorrect perspective, distortion, low-resolution artifacts, split-screen, multi-panel layout, comparison board, text captions, option labels
