Not everyone in the UK has the space for a large garden. If you only have a small tract to work with, you need to make the most of it. Fortunately, there are plenty of creative ways you can improve your garden, even with very little space.
Let's check out five big ideas for your small garden:
Plant Upward
f you want to make the most of your back garden, be as efficient as possible. Many property owners make the mistake of planting the wrong plants. Instead of choosing random flowers and bushes for your yard, select seedlings that grow upward.
By choosing upward-growing plants, you'll have plenty of foliage in your garden without impacting your surface area. The upward growth will leave more space for other projects and ideas.
Scenic Pond
Installing a pond in your back garden is an excellent way to get creative with a small amount of space. You don't need a large garden to establish the right type of pond. You can even use it to house fish or water plants. Many property owners also choose to install water filters and mini-fountains to improve the overall aesthetics of their ponds.
While building a pond may seem simple, you'll need some expertise if you want to ensure it retains its shape and viability. It's always a good idea to use a professional if you're going to install a pond in your back garden.
Small Decking
If you want space to entertain guests, a deck is a perfect solution. Contrary to popular belief, you don't need much space to build a great deck. You can work with a deck builder or carpenter to design a deck that suits your needs and your garden's dimensions.
It's always a good idea to consider the purpose of the deck before you begin the design process. If you're planning on entertaining, make sure to factor in the size of a new patio table.
Garden Shed or Backroom
While this might not be viable for someone with very little space, there are plenty of backroom or garden-shed designs that are suitable for small gardens. Building a shed or room at the foot of your garden will provide valuable storage space or a proper place for a visiting guest.
Veggie Patch
While veggie patches have always been popular among homeowners, there's never been a better time to begin planting your own. If you want to make use of a small garden, you don't need much space to plant a variety of delicious and colourful vegetables. It's an excellent way to cut your grocery bills and reduce your impact on the environment.
