A Little Yard Can Go a Long Way


If your landscape space is limited, there are many ways to make it attractive and enjoyable… all it takes is a little imagination!

Here are some tips for making the most of small spaces:

  • Focal points make small spaces more attractive. Consider a small pond, sculpture, fountain or bird bath.
  • Curved garden are and look bigger than square or rectangular ones.
  • Flower pots raise plants off the ground, adding a sense of depth to the landscape. Plus, pots can be moved around throughout the growing season to refresh the look of your outdoor space.
  • Cool colors such as blue and green can make a garden look bigger than it really is.
  • Raised flower beds with multiple layers of plantings will provide extra design and color options.

With a little creativity and planning, even the smallest of yards can have a big impact!
