I would like to renovate my garden, My budget is about £1000. I am willing to do whatever I can.

here are some questions and my ideas on the garden.

1) I would like to paint my fences, I would like to paint sth like light blue. currently an oak colour
2) would you paint the shed same colour with the fences? if not which colour would be your choice?

3) is deck paintable? currently brown. what to do to maintain it?
4) stones are almost grey. I will try to clean it by a pressure machine. should I use just water or any detergents etc?

5) what would be good in this garden? any ideas, please? small water thing? paving? any ideas please?

My opinions only:
1) Fence colours seem very fashionable - like grey is now the interior colour de rigeur. You may get fed up with blue - I always go green or brown, but if I had a huge garden I think black would be great - lovely contrast for flowers to show up on.
2) Yes
3) No it will be a mess. Pressure wash it
4) You won't need detergent it will come up amazing just with a decent pressure wash
5) No idea - I have no imagination. Watch some ground force/tart up my garden shows and use your ideas. I like bark for a cheap ground covering that looks great.
