If you want to get to the shed I bet you won’t use the stepping stones. You’ll walk straight to it rather than taking the scenic route. I realise it is only diagrammatic but the paving stones look too widely spaced to me.

Exactly my thoughts
hmm, yes most likely you are right. the paving stone then offer no benefit or shoud i make a path straight to shed?

If you plan to walk to and from your shed several times a day, you need a path. If you only go there occasionally, you probably don't need a path at all.

it would not be multiple times a day. only may be once or twice.
Assuming the paving slabs are 2’x2’, the flower beds are about the same width. I would make them considerably wider. Those diagrammatic shrubs you have ‘planted’ on the left will not confine themselves to such a narrow strip.
I would also look again at the terrace and think it needs to be much deeper on the right hand side. If the circle is a table, there is no space to put chairs around it. Indeed you can’t even walk past it on the garden side.
Have you thought about where you’ll put your clothes line?
Screening the shed is a wise move but take advice on using bamboo. I have always been too scared to use it, worried it will run amok and try to invade the neighbours’ gardens.
I know it is so old fashioned but, when designing, I much prefer to use graph paper, or plain paper with grid lines. I would also cut out little coloured circles to represent herbaceous plants, bigger ones for shrubs and bigger still for the tree. I would also have a big circle for the table and chairs, another for the garden seating and one more for the barbecue. Naturally all these would be cut to the right scale.
You can then design with much more fluidity because I fear that design program you’re using is imposing unnecessary constraints and giving false ideas of your possibilities.
It is actually drawn on a scale provided by the grid lines. The circle on the patio is fire pit so hence it is in corner. The patio/deck is almost 8.2 meter long and 2.5 meter wide/deep. could increase it to 3 meters.
I do not need a cloths line for now.
As for bamboo, yes will have to see if that it the only option or some sort of tall grass would be better
Does anyone have any tips on how I can start to rebuild the garden? One garden designer yesterday came by and said you need to spend atleast 25K to make it half decent. I have no where near that kind of budget so it will have to be done by myself.
