Landscape Garden Ideas for a Small Space
You don’t need a huge space to create a beautiful garden. Small gardens have a number of great benefits, including the fact that they are nice and easy to maintain!
A small garden can still provide plenty of room for creativity and hopefully, with the help of our ideas below, we can inspire you to create a perfect little space to escape to.
- Add some low border walls, using bricks or railway sleepers. These will not only look great around a flower bed, but they will also act as an attractive seating area.
- If you don’t have enough room for grass or flower beds, you can still add greenery and colour using a number of potted plants. These are also ideal if you fancy moving things around later on.
- Utilise your fence by adding trellises and climbing plants. These are a great space saving solution, because they encourage plants to grow higher up and away from the ground.
- An attractive fence can also help to add some style and transform a small space. A simple, open pale fence works well in a smaller garden, because the gaps between the slats provide the illusion of extra space.
- Try combining materials such as decking and patio slabs for a contemporary look and don’t be afraid to add larger items, such as water features or sculptures to create an effective focal point.
- If you don't have room in your garden for a shed, there are smaller storage options available, such as a garden chest, which still hold a surprising amount of equipment.
So as you can see, by carefully planning your landscaping, you can really make the most of a small space and create a stunning garden to enjoy at any time of year.
