Straight lines trick you into thinking a small courtyard or garden is bigger than it is. This can be accomplished by establishing a focal point and extending paving from that point. Counter intuitive as it may also seem, large paving also creates the illusion of space and are ideal in a contemporary setting.
SUGGESTED PRODUCTS:
Sometimes the best small gardens are where there is a mix of unexpected elements that offer dramatic visual relief. Try a mixture of paving materials, lawn, features and
container plantings to add real interest so that you hardly notice the gardens size.
SUGGESTED PRODUCTS:
If you really love plants and are limited on space then skip the grass entirely. Stagger your plants for height and include walking paths so you can tend things in the center of the space.
SUGGESTED PRODUCTS:
You can give your small garden a sense of height by raising up planting, even just a foot or two. Try retaining walls integrated with other hardscape features, such as steps. You’ll help the eye move up and create a pretty visual distraction from the lack of square footage.
