Small garden designs


Small garden designs with thoughtful, precise planning. However, small does not mean limited. A small garden design can still deliver.


Small Garden Design: The Problems
A small garden design comes with big challenges. Perhaps your property abuts the two-story blank wall of a neighbor’s townhouse.
With small garden design, as with all landscape design, the goal is to create spaces in which the home and architectural elements have a relationship with the yard and surrounding area. First, consider the big picture—assets and liabilities.viability and capacity of the site, a determination that will help clarify your landscape design options.

• Water features such as swimming pools or outdoor water fountains. Swimming pools can be custom-made to fit into a small garden design.
