Hello!
I'm sat planning my dream garden (currently have a typical new build - all grass, no colour) and thought it would be nice to build downwards. A nice low level patio and fire pit in the corner.
The problem however is I'm struggling to find real world examples - do people not dig down due to drainage issues or is it generally just not worth the expense?
Below is a very modern take on it. My grass would be level with the door so I'd have to dig out a substantial amount of soil to step down into it but it seems like a great way to make a 'cosy' space in an otherwise overlooked new build garden?
Any thoughts or guidance appreciated.
