How can you use a small yard to create a sitting space? Simple!
If you want to create a private area, a small backyard can prove to be discourageing. It is possible to create an outdoor space within a small backyard without spending a lot of money. You already have an advantage if you have a level yard. A few pea gravel or flat stones can be added to a level yard to create a relaxing space for everyone.
Add trees, shrubs, and perennials to complete the space. Because the area is small, it is crucial to choose the right plants. If this is difficult, you can hire a landscape designer to help with a planning and installation. A couple of larger trees will give you privacy and height. For their beautiful flowers and height, we love Cherokee Princess Dogwoods. The Pink Diamond Hydrangea is another tree option. It boasts bright, colorful flowers with distinctive petals and leaves.
You should also choose plants that are of varying seasons so you can enjoy your small backyard area year-round. We love to have a Japanese maple tree, and a fothergilla.
Because they change to fiery colors in autumn. To start the season with color, yellow ligularia and white astilbes are great choices. For year-round interest that is easy to maintain, choose a groundcover that matches your planting zone.
It is important to consider privacy when creating a seating area in your yard.
