Define the Purpose of Your Outdoor Space
Before you start designing your small space landscape, it's important to define what you want to use your outdoor area for. Do you want to create a space for relaxing and entertaining guests? Or do you want to create a vegetable garden or a space for your children to play? Once you have decided on these factors, you can then start to think about the design elements that will help you achieve your goals.
Create a Plan
Creating a plan is essential when designing a small space landscape. Start by measuring the area and drawing a rough sketch of the space. This will help you to determine what will fit into the space and how it can be arranged. You'll need to take into consideration any existing features, such as trees or buildings, and how they might affect your design plans.
Choose the Right Plants
When selecting plants for a small space landscape, it's important to think about what type of shrubs and plants are appropriate for the size of the area. Look for plants that are compact, slow-growing, and don't require a lot of maintenance. Green walls, vertical planters, and container gardens are also great options for small spaces. Choose plants with different heights, textures, and colors to add interest to your outdoor living space.
Add Hardscaping Elements
In a small garden, hardscaping elements can help to define the space you have and provide visual interest. Consider adding a small patio made from porcelain or stone, or a decking area made from timber or composite. A small water feature or compact fire pit will help to create a relaxing focal point.
Incorporate Lighting
Lighting can transform a small garden into a beautiful and inviting outdoor area. Consider adding string lights or outdoor lighting fixtures to create a warm and pleasant atmosphere. Lighting can also be used to highlight the features of your home and garden.
Use Vertical Space
If you have a small garden it's important to use every inch of space that is available! Consider adding trellises, a green wall, and hanging or verticle planters to maximize your outdoor space.
