stuck for garden ideas. help!
Discussion
Quite a lot to unpack here, but if you have the funds then it may be worth getting a professional garden designer in (note a designer, not a landscaper - the latter make gardens from ideas/designs given to them on the whole).
Which direction are those areas facing, i.e. when does it get sun?
What do you want to use the area for? Sitting out? Dining? Playing?
Any kids or pets?
Is the gravel bit a driveway ot literally a bit of garden with gravel on it?
How much maintenance can you put up with?
It's a big enough area to do something interesting with, but there are a thousand options depending on desired use and aesthetic. If you don't want to hire a designer, then get a book on garden design which will at least take you though some principles to consider before spending good money on implementing.

thankyou all for the replies.
will also test out chat AI as that looks really good.
anything on the gravel area at the first planter is free as the drive does not need to be that long; also the drains are causing problems so want to avoid driving over them.
was maybe thinking some sort of BBQ / bar / mini shed area pool table. but may look odd
Which direction are those areas facing, i.e. when does it get sun? all day
What do you want to use the area for? Sitting out? Dining? Playing? behind the picture is the shed / seating area.
Any kids or pets? no
Is the gravel bit a driveway ot literally a bit of garden with gravel on it? goes all the way back behind the picture probably 2 x the length seen.
How much maintenance can you put up with? not sure

Go easy on the frivolous use of ChatGPT. A quick google reveals that a simple google search uses enough electricity to power a single 60watt light bulb for 17 seconds and ChatGPT uses 10 times as much. The three images generated above used enough electricity to keep the bulb lit for 8.5 minutes.
