Even though property houses in Britain have rocketed, the average size of a new build three bed roomed home is four square meters smaller than Government recommended guidelines. Along with shrinking properties comes a smaller garden. As the saying goes, size isn’t everything.
Small gardens may require more thought than larger gardens, however small gardens have many advantages including only requiring low levels of maintenance. Here at Right Cut Tree and Garden Services we have some great ideas for making your small garden beautiful including design tips, planting advice and savvy buys for modern gardens, pretty patios, tiny terraces and bijou balconies.
Pave your way
Gravel, stone paving and woodchip have become popular choices of flooring for gardens offering great benefits including low levels of maintenance but upmost their low cost.
Paint your walls white
Many homeowners paint the interior walls of their home white as the colour is renowned for creating the illusion of a bigger space, so why not do the same in your garden.
Go upwards not outwards
To preserve precious space in your garden, trellises are ideal. A trellis is ideal for adding extra colour, but also for space saving. Climbing plants require little if no floor space and can provide your small garden with a beautiful focal point.
It’s all in the furniture
With minimal space to play with, folding furniture is not only space saving, but also very affordable.
Landscape your small garden
Small garden spaces can be made to look contemporary with the introduction of a mix of materials and finishes. Strong landscaped lines, wood stained decking can create a structure that’s easily manageable.
We are regularly approached here at Right Cut Tree and Garden Services by customers struggling to make the most out of their small garden spaces.
