Will have or would have

Which is the best tense to use when describing my dream garden, will have or would have?

My dream garden will have a big lawn and a pool.
My dream garden would have a big lawn and a pool.

Both seem OK to me
If they are both ok is it better to not use them both in an essay.?
For example , my dream house will have a big lawn. It wiould also have a pool.
Thanks
Tom

If you dreaming about it or imagining it or describing your dreams or visualization of this "ideal", use "would."
If you have a definite plan to built it in the near term, then you can use "will."

eg
I will build my dream garden next spring. It will have 3 traditional stone lanterns, a meandering stream of river rocks, and a sozu emptying into a pool with nishikigoi.

Just a question about the near term
could it be longer, if you plan is for when you have more time or money for example 5 or 10 years from now?

There are no rules. Just use what best fits your situation.

The difference is due much less to the amount of time or money or the number of years in the future. The difference is due much more to whether the situation is imagined, hypothetical, or theoretical ('would') versus real, practical, or actual ('will').
