Siting a patio in a garden without a straight edge

[Stringman_uk]

Hi All
we have a very long but thin garden( 45m x 7m) that is in the process of being upgraded.
the house was built in 1865 and nothing is straight!
for a bit of background/ visualisation the area direct from the house is about 4m wide 8m long this is decked, this leads to a kitchen garden 4m x 4m with a path that leads the garden proper this will have trellis to act as a fence- this widens out to 7m.
We are hoping to put a 3m x 3m patio and summer house with the summerhouse being 5m x 2.5m with the long edge running down the right hand side of the garden front to back.
The patio runs in front of the summerhouse.
So( if you havent gored bored yet) the problem is the trellis is using the decking as a "straight line" from which it will be positioned.
I intended to do the same for the patio but when I did that the gap between the patio and fence was massively uneven ( about 20cm) and it was very obvious)
So Looked at doing it from the fence but it was obviously just as bad.

Any thoughts on best how to overcome this or is it just the way it is?

Many thanks in advance

Think about planting shrubs or small trees between fence and patio to break up the uneven gap.

Think it might have to be that!

Could you not work a curve into the design which compensates for the gap?
I mean, start straight from one edge, curve out, then into the gap. Planting is a good idea but you'll have to work out which kind of plant will suit to avoid it growing over your patio.

I did think of staggering the steps as they are rectangular, but I think that would look a bit silly, not sure how i could put a curve on just one edge?
