Four Great Landscaping Design Ideas to Get the Most Out of Small Backyards
Backyard dimensions have endless possibilities and depending on what your back yard’s size and shape is there will be numerous types of landscaping designs you can consider. And the landscaping design you implement will have a direct impact on the frequency of regular lawn maintenance that will be required to sustain it and what your landscaping cost will be.
For those with limited space & small backyards, it’s important that the landscape designs you implement takes advantage of all the available space in a way that satisfies your desired look and planned use.
Paraprin Landscaping’s Lead Project Manager, Zach James, pointed out that there are a plethora of landscaping features and techniques, based on individual preferences, that can be applied to transform your backyard, bring it to life, maximize its space, and make it uniquely yours.
Below is four of Zach’s favorite landscaping designs that work well in small backyards.
- Short Hedges: Planting short hedges can help segment your backyard to create more perceived size and designated spaces for things like entertaining, flower beds, and vegetable gardens. They also have a classic look, add character, and beautiful greenscapes to your backyard lawn.
- Surround Home with Flowers: Turning the perimeter of your home into a colorful flower garden is a great way to enhance the size and perceived depth of your home landscaping while adding to its character and beauty. Growing perennial plants in your flower bed is a great way to brighten the outside of your home with an abundance of hues.
- Vegetable Gardens: The use of raised garden beds, planters, and living walls or fences to grow vertical gardens can produce a cool looking vegetable garden that will serve multiple purposes in your landscape. It brings aesthetics and ambiance to your backyard in addition to the utility in growing your own vegetables. The use of hardscape like building walkways around your garden with stamped concrete, pavers, pea gravel, brick or the material that best suits your preferences will refine your backyard and add further distinction to it.
- Use Shrubs, Trees, Living Walls for Privacy: The implementation of living walls, shrubs or planting small tress in your yard such as arborvitaes to segment off your backyard & its living space is a great way to create a cozy, comfy and private feel even when your neighbors are close.
Simple landscaping can be just as effective as complex and costly landscaping when done the right way and created for the right space. One way to ensure your yard design achieves desired results and is built to last is to consult with a trusted local landscaper. Rather it be regular mowing as part of a lawn care maintenance plan, sod installation, or something more complex like a stamped concrete patio and sprinkler system installation, partnering with a knowledgeable landscaping company will ensure you’ve considered all your options and give you the confidence that your landscaping vision becomes an awesome reality.
