I don’t have a dog in this fight. This is the best/worst I could do. I call it the builder’s yard; it’s behind the top summerhouse but it is reasonably orderly
Or there’s this. The gardener has made a pile of forsythia prunings ready to go on the bonfire when the weather is good for nothing else. Look through the clippings and you might see a neat (‘fraid so) stack of roof tiles should we have the inclination to throw out a wing.
A good effort. Unfortunately, there's avery nice looking lawn. Could assure us that it's really a patch of flat, greenish weeds? But I would say, that some of the most precious gems of detritus heaps are often hidden in a secluded corner of an otherwise pristine garden.
MU saw something very like your slate installation at Kew but, admittedly, it wasn't quite so horizontal. I like it. It would look great if there was water running down it. You don't have a leaking tap you could direct perchance?
I've got a couple of taps outside. Admittedly they are still attached to a sink, but I'm sure a correctly applied hammer could resolve that and also achieve a decent state of leakiness. I've got some blue pipe too....?

I’ve got a hand basin, pedestal, loo and cistern buried in the garden. OH wasn’t going to pay £2.50 a piece at the tip so we brought it back home, having been a grave digger in the past he had no trouble in digging a 4’ deep hole and smashing it up and burying it. Shame I didn’t photograph it before as it sat there for quite a while.
