Any thoughts on how to improve this area, wondering if we should extend the artificial grass around the pool, we may need to get rid of the frangipani as it is not in good condition, what to do outside the windows? Thank you
It looks like the current paving links an external gate with a front door and defines pedestrian traffic flow. There would be no way I would replace this paving with artificial grass. Hard paving has more longevity, and easier to maintain than artificial grass. I would even consider replacing the artificial grass with matching paving for a more consistent, lighter and easier to maintain look. Introducing a timber deck is going to make a small space look visually busier (and need maintenance).
You have a complex problem in that you have a small area, that needs to perform a multitude of functions and some muddled thinking. I would engage a professional designer to help you clarify your thoughts and set a clear direction that is responsive to the multi-nature character of the space, and your lifestyle.
Best of luck

Thanks for your reply, I have been debating getting a designer as I have lots of ideas but think it is time bite the bullet and do it. The frangipani is the most beautiful one I have ever seen when it is in full bloom so we should try and save it. Thanks again.
