Thanks Mark. Clearly just what we needed. No idea why I didn't think of that. I'm not sure why "lifesize", though. These clearly should be at least twice life size.

So, to the collective mind.......what do we stick in the middle of the middle squares? Originally they were going to have an urn planter on a small plinth, but those are high maintenance, and look poor in the winter. We could do a feature small tree (a bay, for instance, or an ornamental willow), a piece of gentle topiary, a climber up a steel frame, or a bird bath/ fountain thingamejig. I've never done a formal garden before, so haven't a clear idea of how I want this to look. Whaddyareckon?

Make sure never to clip on a bright sunny day as the cut leaves will scorch and look dreadful.
