Sometimes living big means thinking small. If your outdoor space is lacking in square footage, it may seem like your outdoor entertaining dreams are far-fetched – but with a little creative thinking, sound design advice and clever additions, you can get the most out of your garden.
Not everyone is blessed with a large garden, but there are many small backyard ideas that can help you make your property look and function at its best. For those who live in places with tighter outdoor spaces, it’s all about practicing intelligent design on a smaller scale. Whether you live in an apartment, condo, townhouse, loft, or a home that offers more indoor than outdoor space, you can still design a garden with soil, trees, plants, patios, seating, and even water features .
