An example of a water play wall
Concept - combining childs play aparatus with adult garden
Concept - multi climbing elements
theory of placement - . A sandpit that’s part of the action Place a sand play area too far away from the house and it will likely become a neglected part of the garden that not even your kids will feel drawn to. This backyard pergola provides a place for grown-ups to gather for a chat, as well as a shady spot for little ones to explore their imagination.
tree house!
a source of water in the garden without a pool of water - maybe from a vase, or similar.
idea only - artificial turf in between pavers for car to drive on (caution - some artifical turfs are not for heavy use/cars)
Accoustic walls, pannels, dividers and wall decorations.

focal point - MASSIVE pot plant! (not sure how to use that idea, just like the concept)
baboo ideas ture your own lush hideaway By creating the right microclimate, with a choice of semi and hardy tropical evergreen plants, you can have a lush secret hideaway in an small urban space. Bamboos are ideal for privacy, and a good one for hedging is Fargesia robusta, which also does well in the shade and doesn’t require a root barrier, making it ideal if you’re concerned about the bamboo spreading too much. For containers and taller specimens, try Fargesia nitida, and for a more compact bushy plant, consider Fargesia rufa. To add height and for a sunnier spot, opt for Phyllostachys aurea, but remember to keep it well watered in the summer months and to repot it as it outgrows its container. For large leaf coverage, use Fatsia japonica, and for scented dense evergreen foliage, go for the winter box plant, Sarcococca
Privacy in gardens extends beyond sight. Installing a water feature, with the gentle sound it produces, will help to muffle any bothersome sounds, such as road traffic or people talking next door or on the pavement. If you place a water feature in the centre of a patio, it will also draw the eye in and discourage you from gazing outwards towards the boundary. A wall of water can also work as a good sound barrier and give visual impact in a small space. A mirror positioned on a back wall will further enhance the space and reflect the garden back, therefore giving the illusion that you’re in the middle of a larger garden, and away from neighbours.
ornemental grasses w a living curtain If you prefer a softer look for privacy and don’t fancy a solid hedge, try planting grasses, which will help you feel enclosed, but will add light and texture. Mix your grasses; try varieties such as Carex pendula, a tall weeping fountain grass with flowers, and the elegant, tall, purple-headed Verbena Bonariensis, a magnet for bees. Many ornamental grasses have wonderful flower plumes and there are a wide range of foliage colours to choose from. They look wonderful if left in the winter garden and add huge architectural interest to any outside space.

Maybe?
Pleached, clumping bamboo the new cultivars such as slender weavers (Bambusa textilis ‘Gracilis’) are what’s called ‘clumping’ bamboos.
book mark for idea - vertical area for edibles (could have a small area for partially shaded and another for high sun?)
Not necessarily this in particular but there are lots of photos where there are a couple of steps off a retaining wall being used for shallow edibles and smaller plants for decoration, rather than just trees (for privacy)

Clematis montana will smother a pergola in no time; for a good scented one, opt for ‘Mayleen’. For repeat-flowering scented roses (which can be vigorous), try ‘Wedding Day’ and ‘Madame Alfred Carrière’, which is suitable for shady areas.
