Landscaping Garden Design Ideas for a Small
Yard WA is constantly expanding with development
projects seemingly popping up on every corner.
As the population grows and land becomes more
scarce, limited space is available for homes,
much less a yard or garden. As space becomes more
minimal, creating an impressive and beautiful
garden requires meticulous expertise and a
designers eye. Here are a few landscaping ideas
to consider when designing for a small yard
space.
Attention to Detail A keen eye and a great
attention to detail are vital when dealing with a
small yard space. There isnt much room to work
with so every element must be curated so as to
create harmony within the space without
compromising on the aesthetic vision. It is
important to make sure that every element is
intentionally chosen and placed as there is no
softening effect of distance to disguise any
imperfection everything is seen up close and
personal. Make Use of Vertical Space With
minimal land space, consider working with
vertical space. A vertical garden can be just as
impactful whilst also maximizing the available
space. There are plenty of options and creative
solutions to creating a vertical garden. Build
nooks and planters into the wall to create a
stunning and functional display of herbs and
plants. Hanging planters are also a creative and
practical way to add more plants to your garden.
Another option is to construct a display by
stacking and mixing planters, pots, crates, or
even coffee cans for an eclectic and rustic
feeling. Focal Point and Functionality Every
space needs a focal point and a function,
regardless of size but it is essential in a
smaller garden to create a statement and set the
mood. Is this yard space meant for

relaxation, entertainment or even just a cozy
family play area? The focal point of your yard
can be anything but some great options are a
fireplace or fire pit to add liveliness, a water
feature to soothe, a tree or even a bright pop of
colour. Having a clear purpose and focal point
will better direct the design of the
space. Balance and Proportion Another good tip
is to be mindful of the proportion of all the
elements in yard. Create dimension by mixing
things of different sizes but be wary of choosing
something too large that could overpower the
rest and throw off the balance. Carefully plan
the negative space to enhance the elements of
the landscape design and create a unified
composition. Too much clutter or too much empty
space could make your garden appear messy and
small. Pathways are a great way to lead the eye
and make a space seem bigger than it is. Lukes
