Critique my hardscape First proper hardscape

[RudeDogg1]

Opinions please guys my first proper hardscape. I am waiting for another bit of wood to attach to my tiny bit can’t believe that cost £29 . Sorry about all the bleddy reflections

Like the theme, roots and rocks, but might look better with some more hardscape. The hardscape seems a bit lost, in front of the dramatic backdrop. A plain backdrop and some more rocks, would be my input.

Well the backgrounds not going anywhere lol. Don’t want to over fill with rock really else there won’t be any room for plants

if its staying , then mirror the rocks orientation to it. the right sides doing this, but the left is clashing

It’s only just been silicones in so yeah it’s not going anywhere lol. Will have a reconfigure tomoz

Hardscape is way too small/low and background is very distracting.

Unfortunately all my rock is about that size. I am thinking of getting more soil and raising the left side and adding abit more rock

Raising it might help. Its just lost against that background at the moment. Whats you plan for plants?

Pretty heavily planted and carpeted

So I think it’s come out alright there’s tonnes of little tissue culture stems in the back which should look cool when they grow out. I used the minced up moss method on the rocks and I have more on the way to tie to the wood (mainly to hide the superglue on the existing bit ha).

Looks cool. Can you attach some weeping moss on the background ledges ? Maybe even some pinnatifida? It would make it come alive, like a jagged cliff face with some vegetation growing here and there:

I have actually used the minced moss method on some of the background. And added more moss to the wood. Got some more coming to cover more of the wood and I want to mince abit more up to double my chances.
