Tricky design challenge- inspiration needed!

We are renovating a house with a lovely sized garden, but unfortunately with an ugly concrete path running around the perimeter. We can’t remove the path as underpinning will be required and we can’t afford it.

We are looking for inspiration as to how to hide the path (or embrace it!) for a modern garden. To make the design a little trickier we are laying a patio where the path will be 2/3 feet higher. Please see pics- the patio edge will be where the wooden edging is, give or take.

We were thinking of vertical, staggered height sleepers, but the height of the path/ground there will still need to come down to meet the rest of the lawn...

Help!

Welcome Cosmic258. :)

I'm thinking perhaps a rockery along there would look good. It can gently slope down to meet the edge of the patio.
