you have a personalised plate so things must be ok :)
I havent got the foggiest on softscaping so I cant comment on the planters etc,but the fence looks nice and straight
if you do any work just refer to the main site for guidance and if you get stuck ask away
we all started somewhere and i have to admit my first patio some 24 years ago was a fail
had to cut 5 inches off the bottom of the gate
all the best michael

I love private plates that actually mean something.

Big gas company has many plates ending ....GAS, looks the dogs.

Always wanted something ....TAR, but all seems taken.
