Landscaping in a small backyard presents some unique challenges, but a smaller footprint doesn’t mean that you can’t do some amazing projects. With a little extra planning and effort, you’ll be able to get more out of the space you have and build the yard you’re looking for.

Consider a Gazebo
If you’re dealing with a smaller space, a gazebo can help you make that area feel cozier and welcoming for your guests. Covered gazebos also provide some protection against rain and snow, and you can use heat lamps, curtains, and other tools to build a space for all seasons.
Gazebos are also good options for people with backyards that are in close proximity to others properties. Rather than simply being outside, you’ll have an additional layer of privacy regardless of the size of your backyard.
Leave the Lawn Behind
Lawns occupy a special place in the American psyche, but you don’t necessarily have to have a lawn to create a beautiful backyard. In fact, other plants can help cultivate a unique atmosphere that stands out from the typical backyard.
