Another couple of views of the 1st one! As there was less detail on the main plan!

I prefer the 2nd but I wouldn't go as far with the 'L', I'd stop it around the middle of the table to have more grass area but still plenty of usable patio.

Thanks Really useful to know...We are needing full ground works and are trying to decide what to do with it has a similar footprint but is a much more unusual shape so not as easy to find a design. Our quotes have been £6800 plus but that is to include artificial grass (DH doesn't want a real lawn to mow. The other option is full paving (more expensive and not as aesthetically pleasing) It is such a hard decision what to do

Our garden faces the same way - just be aware that the sun doesn’t hit the left hand corner much and if that’s a wall along the left side of the garden then you won’t get much sun there either.

The sun doesn’t hit the back of our house ever so our patio is at the bottom of our garden.

I like the first .
Our garden has just been completely paved as the grass was just a nightmare , boggy and full of leatherjackets .
Looks wonderful now and so much bigger as it’s not a very big garden but now it’s all usable space

Thank you for your suggestion we went to the end of the brick wall (next doors garage!) as the grass won't grow there as it doesn't get any sun? 🤔. Its so hard to decide what to do!? I find it hard to picture what it will look like

Probably a similar cost if you take off the artificial grass? It's an expensive business isn't it!
