Essential Small Garden Design Ideas
Low Maintenance Garden
The most important tip for small garden designs is to ensure that your backyard is low-maintenance. This includes easy planting, avoiding weed growth, and not having a lawn.
Composite Decking
Composite decking is an excellent choice for small gardens instead of traditional wood decking. It lasts longer, comes in a variety of colours, and doesn’t require painting or staining afterward.
Garden Seating
Having somewhere to sit down and enjoy a glass of wine or to read a book is a priority. Maximise space by having garden seating integrated into the overall garden design. Fold-up chairs are also a great idea if you wish to entertain guests.
Plant Smart
Adding greenery to your backyard will help lift your spirits after a hard day in the office. Keep planting simple and in pots or raised beds to reduce weeding. Choose plants that work well in shady spots if your garden is enclosed. Bamboo is a popular option because it can be used as natural screens and looks great all year round.
Grow Herbs
Cultivating a handful of small herb pots in your garden or on your patio offers a convenient way to elevate your culinary creations with the vibrant flavours of freshly chopped herbs.Â
Cook Food
Make the most of sunny days in your compact garden by treating yourself to a barbecue. Whether it’s a quiet evening alone or a small gathering with loved ones, grilling up some delicious food adds a special touch to your outdoor experience.
Help Nature
Feel Private
Introducing plants or a sunshade to your garden can transform it into a secluded sanctuary, shielding you from prying eyes and creating a tranquil retreat right in your backyard.Â
Be Secure
Ensuring the security of your garden is paramount, particularly in urban environments, making floodlighting a prudent choice. Additionally, investing in robust fencing paired with secure gates is highly recommended to safeguard your outdoor space effectively.
